The electorial college analogy isn't really accurate. The admins do not run the community as much as the JCF. They are community members who just own the message board. When arguing something like this, take into account that:

1) The final decision doesn't rest with the admins.

2) Presenting a good argument is more important than just numbers.

3) If they say No, don't keep asking over and over.

4) Majority does not rule.
