It's tough to certify a vote when apparently more than a handful of voters were jumped straight from the login page to the page saying "your vote has been recorded", with no way to find out what vote was actually recorded. The FA union is stuck between a rock and a hard place... The vote itself was run in a way that was so incompetent they should be getting sued by both the union and individual FAs, with damages to ever FA measured and paid out pretty much like we calculate retro. On top of those measurable damages could be other liability for the company exposing the actual voting data from an unsecured server URL shown during the livecast. The union leadership is scrambling to make themselves look good (not possible but they'll still try), avoid getting fired, while conducting a necessary revote and attempting to deflect lawsuits away from the union and it's leadership.

A recount is only one of the things that needs to happen after that screwed up vote, no matter what the actual results were and will be with a revote. I certainly hope for their sake that they use a different contractor to handle the voting otherwise the union is gonna open themselves up to a lawsuit of their own for running not one but two invalid votes with the same incompetent company.

Even if the revote is still a no, the FA union leadership will never voluntarily step down. That would go against everything they are.
