I won't support a change in MEC elections until we make more meaningful changes to how our union does business. Otherwise, it's too easy for fringe demographics to spin the narrative in their favor.
I wouldn’t worry about that too much. The way officers are elected is set by National bylaws. The only way to change that would be amend the bylaws, which would take a 2/3s vote of the BOD. The BOD is made up of your local reps.
Most of them do pay attention, and after watching the trainwreck at APA, are probably not interested in that kind of governance.
