Political Struggle Q (LSJ)

Hmm I just skimemd through the Lasombra Newsletter about Political Struggle. It seems like there's a few things that apply to Political Struggle that I wasn't aware of. 1) If a minion with PS is torporized does that minion lose his votes and the Lasombra gain his votes? I always thought the minion keeps his votes since nothing on card text says he loses them. It only says the Lasombra who played it gain as many votes as the minion with PS. 2) Michael mentioned something about influencing out the vampire again to gain back the votes. Does this mean that if Anson with PS is burnt and I bring out another Anson, he'll have his 2 votes and the Lasombra will lose his 2?? How is this supported by card text? Also, does brining out Anson from torpor count as "influencing him out" in this case? 3) Does the Lasombra gaining the votes count as a titled vampire? And are the votes he gains stackable if he playes many PS's?

Correct. (card text). The minion can't vote from torpor, of course. > 2) Michael mentioned something about influencing out the vampire again to > gain back the votes.
