  I don't know about the validity of ANY election to date that the
DNSO has had as documented evidence in the archives of this forum
clearly shows in abundance.  However I DO agree that no election should
be called off because one candidate has decided to withdraw.  NO
election that I know of has not been held just because a candidate
has withdrawn....
