4. Yes, it is unfair. It's an inherent conflict of interest. You signed on to be a precinct chair. |

31. It's a chess game, and we have to watch all pieces at once. Every pawn can become a Queen or Rook. |

34. I've always liked a Queen's gambit. The fewer the pieces, the better I like my chances. |
