I suggested the multi-choice vote just to make balloting and counting
easier -- to wit, one vote, no runoffs.  I don't see "how" as having
anything to do with "who".

Further, you said you were making the decisions in re voting.  That
means that what Daniel suggested may or may not be operative (to use
Nixonese).

Ooo-er!  I didn't think of gluing myself to my friends!  Sounds fun!
(Yes, we know what you mean.  I don't pass up straight lines.)

EEEEP!  I wanted to suggest a ballot and mailing!

Ballot:
Side one: simplified voting procedures, like

    The candidate names for the Southern Region are listed on the
    back.  Each has its language, approximate pronunciation, and
    meaning.

    This is a preference ballot.
    Find the one you prefer the most and put 1 beside it.  Your vote
goes to it first.
    Find the one you prefer next most and put 2 beside it.
    Continue until you run out of names you want the region to have,
then stop.
    "None of the Above" is treated as a normal name candidate.
    If you vote for it, your vote may get counted for it, so don't
vote for names you don't want to win.  Don't even rank them last;
don't put them after "None of the Above". If you want no name, or none
of those listed, mark "None of the Above" as 1 and stop.
    A space is provided for write-in votes.

Ballot side two: like I said above.  I'm still gathering pronunciation
data.

Seneschal's mailing: an explanation of preference balloting, a rework
of the Lion's Tale article.  Also, where to send the ballots.

No, though there's a thought.  I was just imagining court: the "Viva
la Pueblo de Nuestra Se{n~}ora la Reina de Los Angeles!" problem.
