- Yes theres a process to submit nominations - Voting is private - The identities of voters is private - Results are posted w/ totals I fail to see how that makes my original statement wrong in anyway. Given such low totals its not hard to "win" in such a system - This reminds me of a Simpsons episode where they have class elections, in the end martin wins because out of the entire class his only friend votes for him and nobody else cares. No corruption, thats just how it turns out. Some people are reading too much into what was an innocent comment/observation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
