In the NEW: Ruling Summary, it says:

Why is the prince tapped? The card (Adonis) says nothing about the voting
kindred.
Also:

What is the reasoning behind this? The card says nothing about not being used
by an untapped vampire, and there is no explanation for giving a tapped
vampire +2 intercept when the same vampire, untapped, cannot receive the
bonus.
The "usable by a tapped vampire that untaps" should be an option, as written.
It shouldn't be errata'ed against logic into an exclusion.

Eep. It should say "backed by both Scorn of Adonis and Disarming Presence."

"Usable by a tapped vampire" is an absolute. If the vampire is untapped,
it may not use Domain. Besides, you can't untap something which is
already untapped.

The whole card needs "oof, that was ugly" errata ;)
