| What Public Official
Could
Win Under These Conditions?
Participants in the political conference before
the 36th IBEW International Convention were asked what public
official could win under these election rules:
Your opponent starts the campaign with a list of all the
voters. You dont.
Your opponent has access to all the voters every day, but
you are forced to try to find them in their homes.
Your opponent can purge any voter off the registration
list.
You also face dozens of other handicaps, but if you win
despite all that, your opponent can ignore the results.
It might be a couple of years before the election board
makes a ruling on the outcome.
It sounds ridiculous, said Liz Shuler, IBEW International
Representative in the Political/Legislative Department. "But
those are the rules for workers when they try to have an election
to form a union."
