That is slimy at best.... and it was Hanson who did it, without a single protest from the EC.
One more thing ... You directive to "stop propagating that bull..." Is that coming from your authority as an EC member or as a RCU moderator?
it would not be the first rigged election in AMA history.
it was tried against Horace Cain a few decades ago. would have worked, if someone had not found the big stack of ballots for Cain stashed behind a file cabinet, or some such place.
that was the reason for the AMA moving to an out of house auditor to receive and count all ballots. a move that has since been done away with, under the folks in leadership positions now days.
