My theory is that a twit is more likely to get elected to the
Grex board due to a lack of candidates, rather than a lack of
voters. So, perhaps to combat this threat, every Grex member should
be required to run in, say, every third board election.

I think its funny that we're so concerned about "twits" becoming board
members.

If they can nominate themselves and be seconded by one member, it could happen
some day. How about a rule by which anyone nominated by 10 members is forced
to run for the board? I nominate krj.

re #103- I don't think that would work. How can you force someone to
serve on the Board?

I wonder if forcing people to serve on the board violates any state
corporation laws.

I think that if a person who many people thought was a twit was running
for the board then (a) other candidates would appear, and (b) more
people would take the trouble to vote. Richard seems to assume that
voter apathy would be uneffected by the kind of imaginary circumstances
that he thinks would cause it to be a problem.
Honestly, it's hard to image two less controversial board candidates
than John and I.

Maybe we should auto-nominate the most twit-like person on Grex in
each future board election, ensuring that all elections are contested
by candidates who want to prevent the twit's election.
