Those 4000 people won't be voting, though. The chapter boards who they
elected will be voting on their behalf. That's not the same thing. (It
was said above that some chapters might let their membership decide
how the chapter will vote, but if the chapters really are using the
same process as last time that isn't an option because the list of
candidates is confidential - you can't vote if you don't know who the
options are.)
