I am calling for an election for new hosts

164. There's no reason why the existing votes can't be reconciled.

I think it was a mistake to simply call for a new election without discussion of whether it was needed or even having nominations first, but since that's where we are, the votes here will have to be reconciled with the current host list anyway.

What I'm suggesting is removing a host who clearly abused her power, and adding new hosts. If we simply wipe the slate clean and start over with the winners of this election, what's to prevent a new election and clean slate next month, and the month after that? That's what Republicans try to do when they lose elections, and we should be better than that.

Starting over from scratch isn't necessary or warranted. We have hosts and people are re-voting for them along with others, lets add some new hosts and have a discussion about how hosting here should work.
