Pi Election Irregularity 1991

Pi's 1991 annual election ran into procedural issues. 1991-07 — V13 N07 "Late-Breaking Election News" announced: "Old ballots invalidated, new ones on the way; Bylaw amendments".

Frank Potter's editorial title "The case of the elusive Fives" (July 1991) likely referenced the issue.

In 1991-09 — V13 N09 Lou Pastura's "ECC to Hold Public Meeting" announced the Election Commission Committee considering next steps. President Eric Rall departed with "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" (1991-09 — V13 N09) — completing his Douglas Adams-themed presidential run.

By 1992-01 — V14 N01 Lorin Evans is President — election re-run resolved the matter without the level of drama of the Pi Governance Crisis 1989.
