Sorry John, I didn't mean to come across like this was a personal
attack. My intent was to raise awareness of a potential issue with
attendance at the polls.

I agree we want these elections to happen within one month, for historic
reasons. Perhaps we could move it up half a week so that polls close on
Wednesday November 24th instead. It seems to me that blocking out ten
days for scheduling the town halls might be a bit excessive. Maybe we
could manage that in seven?
