Adding all the votes together would essentially create invalid ballot entries where a GM had voted for one too few players in one league and one too many in the other. Not adding them together means that whoever's looking at the ballot has to know the player's history and determine how they'd like to use that information. A similar situation would occur with a player who meets the defensive innings requirement for a fielding position late in the balloting and gets moved from DH to an actual position. So, how would you folks like to see StatsLab handle this?

I would say... leave the player on their original spot on the ballot. In essence what you are "saying" by this is that... the ballots have already been printed and sent of to the 30 major league ballparks. IF a player is traded to a different league during the voting, he stays in his original ballot spot. AND then the league can determine what all-star role he makes on a case-by-case basis.
