Wot? Nobody considered the possibility that some nominee could be run 
over by a bus during the election period and therefore what to do with 
the votes already cast for her/him? :-)

I suggest that a committee be immediately established to prepare a 
report on what to do should such a situation arise - as it now has, even 
though Nelson has not been in the vicinity of any buses :-D .

(And some people are concerned how nominees to the board could handle 
budgets.......sheesh.)
