I am of the same opinion.
This bug presented to unwarranted prejudice to the lord in order to warrant him switching back to undo intended game behavior.
Therefore, it's a case of taking advantage of a bug to gain personal advantages.
But if the devs don't revert the consequences of bugs . . . then as long as he didn't try to cause the bug in the first place, he pretty much has to just go with the results of it, and do what makes sense IC: in this case, he just has to accept that he's lord of the region, even if it's obviously a bug that the election didn't stop when the region was TOed. And at that point . . . it becomes an IC question of should I a) join the enemy realm, b) just step down, or c) take the region back to my own realm?
