John, all,

I understand your position that an election would not change the expected
outcome.

But, because the process calls for an election, we announced an election; to
not have an election would seem like a change of process midway through.

While we see that kind of process change frequently in some quasi-democratic
countries, we prefer to follow the stated process through--so as to avoid
the association with quasi-democracy.

The process does continue with announcements, a few ballots cast in
affirmation and an announcement. The good news is little to no "politicking"
need be done, no bumper stickers, poster, billboards etc.

Scott...
