At the same time, however, how would you propose the committee discuss and formulate the questions to be asked spontaniously of the board candidates at the public meeting?  Should it be in open session where a member or press could publish the questions in advance?  Worse yet would be if the questions were slipped to one or two favored canidates and not all of them.

If members or the press are allowed to observe the director vote count, how will you keep the winners names under wraps until the annual meeting the next day?

The HOA statutes are designed to prevent the worst offenses, but they must be tempered with a measure common sense in situations that are not fully defined.
