Can I ask what you mean by this? It seems like the only thing that would prevent you from being DT1 is if somebody took you off their trusted list, but maybe there's something I still don't understand...

So essentially, Foxpup currently has 8 users with >250 merit trusting him. Of those 8 users, 5 have between 250 and 500 merit, and so get 1 vote in this category. 3 have >1000 earned merit, and get 4, 6 and 7 votes each respectively in this category. Foxpup needs a total of 2 votes from different users. It is conceivable that all these users' votes are currently being used on other members, and so there would be no free votes available to give to Foxpup. If a user is receiving more than 2 votes, then only 2 are counted and the others are redistributed to "people to whom the vote will be most useful". As far as I know, theymos has not given details of how this is calculated.

What about users that have between 500 and 1000 merit? Do they get 2 votes?

That's a lot more complicated than I thought it was, but your explanation is the best I've heard thus far. Thanks.
