do you imagine President Trump appointing the US election board?
He does

And leaving your continuous comparison of the board with that one particular politician aside: it's like that in most democratic states. The population elects their representatives and those representatives appoint people for certain jobs to be done. I have no deep knowledge of the French election system but the "Commission des sondages" looks like an example for that to me. Am 25.11.20 um 16:44 schrieb jdd@dodin.org:
oh, yes. all members?
Well, there's the problem: We need election officials for running elections. But who should be the election officials for the election of election officials? And how do we vote in the election for the election officials without having election officials setting up the election officials election voting system? All in all I would not want to see such an spree of votings and elections if there is no actual incident forcing us to so. vinz.
