The biggest concern i have now is the incumbents seem to be at there usual momentum, however what is not being talked about is that the three incumbents "most recent two of them" have had strokes and other health problems.  But rather then retire and concentrate on there health they persist to run again which leaves two possible scenarios if something life threatening were to happen. First would be a resignation from office and second would be death or impairment of duties because a recurrence of what has happened.  So the replacement process is then left to the OHA BOT to select a successor for that or those individual seats from the island residency and at large status.

Seeing what this BOT did "via the selection process" when judge mossman resigned, from the cherry picking and political favoring of potential successors to tip the scale of balance between the two factions still at war today was why the governor had to step in after the time period expired.

Democracy failed!!!
