Sorry @ew-and-patterns. Your logic is flawed.

There is presently 210 million Steem powered up. According to your post, you are looking at about 71 million in Steem...thus he was need more than 105 million to vote in all he wanted undisturbed.

The reason why that total exceeds even Matts, is because the votes are spread out over 100 plus witnesses (plus people not voting). However, a consolidated effort for everyone to vote their stake for, say 10 witnesses, would interrupt his path to total control.

It is not easy but it can be done, especially if it is under threat.
