I see your points and agree with 2 and 3, but only partially with 1.
Anyways, there's about equal response for or against limitations. Not
totally sure on what to do - I'll let it simmer for a bit.
(I should note that if there was no limitation on who could vote for the LSC
members, I would be able to vote, and if there were, I would not)

I would rephrase that... under the most prevalent current limitation scheme
being floated, (LSC eligible==LSC voting eligible) you would not be able to,
and I would barely squeak by. Certainly other schemes could be floated, with
different qualifications for voting than for LSC membership, that would have
that not be true, or even reversed.

Well, it's simmered a bit. There's been no outcry one way or another. I think
for simplicity's sake, the proposal should change to allow anyone to vote for
who is on the LSC, not just those who are LSC eligible. I don't think the stakes
are high enough to need that measure, given the current climate of the
community.
Does anyone agree? Does anyone object?

And ... as noted, this does gain me a vote where I wouldn't have had one.

I agree. Everyone should be able to vote.

Well, I think we could make an exception to the rule on this point ...

Assuming they comply with the base self selection criteria for LDraw.org
membership.

Exceptions to rules are a dangerous precedent to set, even when (as in this
case) they are done with the best of intentions. :-)
