If not or if the person did meet the qualifications then a write in campaign is one way to circumvent the EC in an election.
The EC would be hard pressed not to allow the person to serve if they in fact did win by write in.
Thoughts?
If the individual won the vote but did not meet the previously printed requirements I can already smell the piranha swimming around. At least it would be interesting!
Bet you get a new name for that fine idea. Meanie! LOL
I know of at least one election by write in, but that WAS a "qualified" candidate who did not get on the ballot for some strange reason.
That is one of the reasons we need to get the nomination process cleaned up as it currently appears to encourage shenanigans as could be seen in the recent EVP contest. That was really funny! They didn't even need to do it, but they just couldn't help themselves.
A thumping on the membership they go, a thumping . . . .
