True. I was hoping no one would notice, however, because that gets |
| 14 |
tedious (although once you have the ballots, it can be automated to a |
| 15 |
large extent). At some point, we should re-examine policy and run some |
| 16 |
controls to see if a voting method more closely designed for what we are |
| 17 |
actually doing might be more appropriate. |

In the middle of a voting cycle is probably not the right time for that, |
| 20 |
though, no matter what makes things easiest for me. |
