The discussion revolves around Peter's proposal where only the votes in blocks are counted, not transaction votes. Miners get to vote but exclude counter-voting transactions at the risk of losing money. Garbage transactions are not a problem. Users who want to cast a vote "pay" for it by increased confirmation time. Mark Friedenbach expresses concerns over miner influence on the vote by generating transactions that agree with their own blocks.
