During the War of the Austrian Succession the Bavarian Elector, Charles, claimed the Kingdom of Bohemia and Archdukedom of Austria. If he had succeeded in gaining those claims it would mean he would have 2 electoral votes (Bohemia and Bavaria). However Imperial law doesn't allow for that. In fact OTL when Palatinate and Bavaria United Palatinate's electoral vote was suppressed in favour of Bavaria's. So in this ATL with Emperor Charles having both Bavaria and Bohemia what would happen with his votes. Would he be able to keep both Bavaria and Bohemia's vote or would he have to suppress one vote. If the latter then which vote would be suppressed?
