So why announce ridiculously unrealistic timeframe between the vote concluding and the results being announced?
First, I disagree that it's "ridiculously unrealistic". Vote checking has already started and will continue throughout the polling. Second, hindsight is 20/20. I'll tell you that it's a balancing act... we've gotten it right a few times and we've gotten it wrong a few times. It's been years since this type of all-projects election was held for anything but a Board of Trustees election, and so, yeah, mistakes will be made. But let's just wait and see on the timeframe, shall we? No doubt an extension will have to happen, but.... what's the harm? If we take a couple extra days to announce the results, who has been harmed?

Months, not extra days, dude.
