1. Publicly announce that Lachlan's vote does not count, and change the tally from 2 votes to 1.
2. Simply count Lachlan's vote too. Leave the tally unchanged.

Explanation

The Butler may only vote when his master is voting.

Sometimes he will break that rule by mistake. It is a shame, but it is usually better to just let the vote stand — and quietly remind the Butler player afterwards to respect their restriction.

Publicly changing the tally effectively confirms that Lachlan is the Butler.

That is far too useful for the good team, and it is bad for game balance.
