What's preventing multiple votes from the same 1000 DASH?

I was wondering when someone takes their masternode offline, what happens to the votes they have already cast?

Also, what's preventing someone from using the same 1000 DASH, creating a masternode, then after voting, terminating it and creating a new masternode from the same Dash?

It may be tedious but just imagine if this was scripted, then people could multiply their voting power. For someone with a substantial number of masternodes, this can be quite pivotal if the vote is worth more to them than missing a MN payment.

As far as I know once the 1000 is moved the vote goes down, please correct me eduffield UdjinM6 if I`m wrong.

yep, vote from inactive masternode is thrown away

// If masternode voted for a proposal, but is now invalid -- remove the vote
void CBudgetProposal::CleanAndRemove(bool fSignatureCheck)
{
    std::map<uint256, CBudgetVote>::iterator it = mapVotes.begin();

    while(it != mapVotes.end()) {
        (*it).second.fValid = (*it).second.SignatureValid(fSignatureCheck);
        ++it;
    }
}

PS. technically it's still there but invalid, fValid is used later in GetYeas and GetNays functions to filter only valid ones
