[Lnc-business] E-MAIL BALLOT: Selection of LNC Secretary - Problematic voting method

[Starchild]

Geoff,

	Do you disagree with my analysis of how the current voting method could discourage people from voting for candidates they expect to draw less support in order to not risk "wasting their votes"? If so, can you explain your disagreement?

Love & Liberty,
                                 ((( starchild )))
At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee

I'm not certain about the mechanics of that, but it seems like there should be a way to withdraw and restart a ballot that is faulty in some manner.
