I'm sorry.  Why do people insist on waiting until AFTER the facts to voice 
their opinions ? If democracy matters to you then give it it's proper 
deserved attention at the right time and not afterwards.  Saying the 
voting system was wrong after the vote is complete is the wrong way 
around.  That's like saying the membership committee rejects the wrong 
people from the foundation when they only follow the rules everyone agreed 
on.
