I predict since FA's have seen that Doug Steenland did not return and life really hasn't changed, the momentum of the previous vote will build. Voters like to be on the winning side of the vote and studies have shown voters will change their decision in favor of a predicted winner. ... after a while you begin to understand the biblical references to sheep.
The AFA interference claims are embarrassing. If that's all they've got then they are in deep trouble. There's no way the NMB can call for a new vote based on those flimsy allegations and still maintain any appearance of being impartial.

The unions got the NMB to change the voting rules and they still lost.
I can't see the NMB bailing them out again. It would be way too obvious.
