Ok...

Not that I have anything against any of the current candidates running 
unopposed in their office of choice. Yet this may not have been true 
in the past.

So...

Regarding the little check box after a single name.  Just what is that for?  
Ok, I'll give you it lets you know who is running for that office, but when it's 
just one person running for the office why doesn't the ballot just say "here's 
your new _________"?  

Well...

It just seems a little useless to even have a check box after a name when 
it make no difference whether you check it or not.  Or does it?  If not one 
person checks this box wouldn't that person still get into the office?

Hmmmm...

You know what I'd like to see, and that would be to have a check box that 
allows you to put your vote to use.  If you would rather see an office empty 
than to having it continue to be run in a way you don't want, then why not?

Alright...

You have to have certain positions filled in a club.  Well, if in the unlikely 
circumstance that more votes are place against a person than votes for 
them then that may say a lot about what a majority of the club feels.  In 
this case the position would be appointed by the existing members of the 
board, yes, even if that meant the board gives the position to that very 
person.  I just want to think my vote says something!!!

Let's see...

If you like this idea check here ____.  

If you don't too bad because there is no other choice!  :~)
