After the 2000 election, in which Bush won the Electoral College, but Gore won more popular votes, some persons dissatisfied with the results called for an end to the electoral college.

This week, State Bar President Thomas Basting was displeased with the results of the Bar’s election for President-Elect. Predictably, he proposed a PLAN to change how we elect our bar leaders.

There is a much simpler solution – end the mandatory bar.

Douglas W. Kammer won the election, fair and square. Next year, if someone else runs on the same platform, he or she will win, too.

Basting doesn’t want that to happen, so he wants to change how votes are counted.

But all that needs to be done is to make the bar voluntary. Then, Basting will never again have to worry about malcontented attorneys spoiling the Bar’s elections.

We won’t vote for protest candidates, because we won’t be members eligible to vote.
