Current counts may change people's idea and might get them affected and they would vote strategically instead of on their own free will. Actually what Stallman and others did during voting is campaigning and this should have ended before voting get started. It's very likely that some people on the middle of their voting see these endorsements and vote them to fill their seven people limit (because of their respect to Stallman or other endorser, not because they personally want the one in board) even though they do not know who those guys are. I wish Board would change the election rules for later elections. Sending endorsement mails to list is nothing that I'm against to, I can even encourage people to send these kind of mails because they are helpful. It's just timing problem. These should end with the starting of voting period.
