Default RE: AMA Nominating Procedures


ORIGINAL: KidEpoxy

Plurality vs Majority
realli seems less important when only 7% of members return votes.

Consider someone getting just 34% of the vote of a 10% return... 3.4% of members
vs
someone getting 51% of a 7% return... 3.5+% of members

either way you look at it, hardly anyone of the membership wanted them enough to vote for them.
What you are saying is not without merit. I'm still not comfortable with putting someone in office, be it AMA or whatever, with with such a small percentage of votes cast. (Going back to my example of just 4 candidates)

Any comments on the nominating procedures themselves?
