Each chapter should, ideally, have three times the number of women they can take attending their prefs, because the assumption is that one-third of the PNM's will choose them.
So one of two things is happening here:
1) The number of PNM's at each party is smaller than the bed quota
2) The chapters are inviting back way too many PNM's
In the latter case, a significant number of women who attend three prefs will not get a bid. Is that typical? I know it is competitive, but I thought the worst cuts happened earlier on.
