Fan the vote?

The LJ user representative election is ongoing, and I think it may be worthwhile to vote, if only to show that there are people who take this more seriously than the lead non-fandom candidate does. As others have said, I’m dubious that LJ will take a user rep seriously, but I know that they won’t if the users vote for an asshole like him. From what I've seen, rm, vichan, and legomymalfoy are fans. For more on the voting method, the wikipedia article on instant runoff voting is quite helpful. Intriguingly, there are situations in which voting for someone can cause her to lose, at least in theory, but overall the method has many attractive features, especially for a disorganized group like LJ users. It seems like a good choice of procedure, at least.

And while I'm here:
