This is but one example of punishment handed out for not voting the way another person thought the vote should have gone. There are boycotts, movements that include divorcing their husbands, etc. Back in the day, people voted on one day, and even though they knew a person voted opposite of another, no grudges were held. It was truly, "Let the better person win". Not today! Peter admonishes, "Use hospitality one to another without grudging" (1 Peter 4:9). Today, there is no hospitality and there is a whole lot of grudging going on.
