I'm talking about the serious accusation of rigging the vote or calling it an appointment. If you want to look at something in the election look at the percentage of members that cast votes.
The people that count the votes don't even know the candidates.
The use of the columns in an official publication is a deliberate attempt to influence the outcome, and no matter how you try to spin or obfuscate with voting numbers, it's unethical. The mere fact that guy who allowed that to happen is also the same one supervising the vote counting is more than enough to question the integrity of the process. Even more so when the number of members voting is so small. It takes even less to influence an outcome.
