This is was done for one reason and one reason only, because that roll call majority resides in Phoenix! They have set up an election system with this bogus run off for no other reason than to get a second bite at the apple in the event of voter loss. When that system fails and it DID, they just invalidate the election until they get the results they desire. Usapa is nothing short of criminals that really should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Union fraud here would no be that hard to prove. They have left a wonderful record of such deceit. The distant learning issue where only west pilots were made to pay while the east gets a pass. These are the sorts of things that need to be brought to the attention of the US attorney. Union fraud is a federal crime and several need to be placed in prison.
