Commentary on the Madison School Board's Uncontested Election

Chris Rickert

"The test of any particular voting scheme is the quality of the candidates who are elected under it," Hughes told me. "We currently have seven good board members. After the spring election we'll continue to have seven good board members. I don't see a problem."

And here I thought that in a democracy the best test of a voting "scheme" was how well it represented the desires of the democracy's citizens.

Silly me.
