While auditing/working on migration stuff, Alexander Popiak caught an error in one of our Democracy migrations on Kusama. There are still some old storage items under Democracy.VoteOf. I opened this motion to kill the storage prefix for this item via a Root call to System pallet.

Anyone can verify the existing storage items by querying Kusama under the prefix: 0xf2794c22e353e9a839f12faab03a911b02a7afbcd5cd4ad2c68bbc63279ae52e

This is equal to xxhash("Democracy") + xxhash("VoteOf") which you can see in the democracy pallet is not used. It was a typo in our migration code that would normally have cleaned this storage up.

 Schedule a majority-carries referendum to be tabled next once it is legal to schedule
 an external referendum.

 The dispatch of this call must be `ExternalMajorityOrigin`.

 - `proposal_hash`: The preimage hash of the proposal.

 Unlike `external_propose`, blacklisting has no effect on this and it may replace a
 pre-scheduled `external_propose` call.

 Kill all storage items with a key that starts with the given prefix.

 **NOTE:** We rely on the Root origin to provide us the number of subkeys under
 the prefix we are removing to accurately calculate the weight of this function.

 # <weight>
 - `O(P)` where `P` amount of keys with prefix `prefix`
 - `P` storage deletions.
 - Base Weight: 0.834 * P µs
 - Writes: Number of subkeys + 1
