The election data I submitted for the years 1989 through 2007 (excluding 05 and 06) which is all I had, was intended to give those wanting to "fix" the election process something to go on, nothing more. If it far better to know exactly what is broken before you try to fix it. I am not convinced that the present system is broken to the extent where any significant difference would occur at the EC level. Horrace has told us that the system can't be fixed as long as there are stupid open and leader members voting for the status quo.

As far as going further back in history has anyone verified if Horrace was even nominated for the election he won by a write in. Or did he, knowing that he could jack the system where participation is sparse, launch an independent write in campaign. How many names actually appeared on the ballot at that time? Remember, the ballots were counted by AMA staff, as I recall HC stating, at that time so some hanky panky could have occurred. Using an independent auditor has taken care of that problem.

So the fix then could be that all present and future voting members go through a screening to make sure they meet Horrace's standards of intelligence (agree with him on all points) before membership is renewed or accepted.
