Honestly, they're just using the democracy thing to look like the good guys. But employees have already been quoted saying "we'll force reopen subreddits if we have to, to save the company." They seem to believe that's justified. Plus, who is gonna vote against reopening? The users still active didn't care enough to boycott or switch platforms, so the majority of active users probably do want to reopen. So I doubt they'd mess with results; most votes will be in their favor, and their rationalization for using force will resonate with the remaining users.
