We might want to consider other voting methods.
For the last few years
I have been the official "observer" for elections to the Thunderbird
Council, which uses the Scottish STV method. There are several online
voting services that are quite inexpensive - Thunderbird has used
OpaVote but there are others, too.
the STV method looks very good. I like how they
calculate the quota
based on the number of available seats.
But I also don't remember how we came up with 50% quota when the bylaws
were written.
