...Regardless of what the motives were, if a thousand people show up about anything, I think it's significant. It's been a needle to spur us on to take a look at ourselves from the inside out," Brown said. "We're in the midst of that process right now. I can't really say how long it will take.

Not only do they want to make it simpler, but they also want to make it fairer. Because the committee is still in the process of weighing different possibilities, Brown is reluctant to say what changes are likely to come about. "I can't believe we won't recommend at least some changes, but I don't know yet what those will be. We're taking a look at the whole election business...
