I could go with that. The way it works is any potential candidate submits his or her name to the clerics and then they approve a list which the people can vote on. There were a couple hundred names submitted (over 100 women) and the clerics gave what.. 4 or 5 men?

So no, the people don't have any real choice here.

I didnt think so...and even if there is a recount it's just a horse and pony show....

This sounds familiar...
