        Anyone on the ballot has either gathered enough signatures on a
        petition, or is known personally by the Nominating Committee.
        That helps ensure a "vetting process" is working. As to whether
        the low voting percentages indicate the system is broken, or
        working just fine, is open to interpretation. Suggestions?
