There are lots of fish to fry but that's not one of them.

The orginal conversion date was Oct 1. Nominating meeting in Sep. totally legit. Could you make the claim that they moved the nominating meeting up? Sure, but that's and old tactic, again legal and within the authority of the LEC Chairman, and used to happen at fNWA as well. He could of run as a Capt. Rep instead. Same thing happens occasionally with elections on the MEC based on when new Reps will be in office and their perceived leanings. Unless there is something that specifies a election has to take place at a certain point in time it's not really gerrymandering.

Politics for sure, but is that a surprise?
