The elections result wasn't surpricing other than Jclemens being reelected and Panyd failing below 50%. Jclemens was bashed in the ArbCom guides, and most of the editors I spoke to voted against him.
Panyd I thought would have be in the 60% range. What happened was that I think editors were worried about how she would handle the stress of the job, plus her close relationship with Chase me may hinder her skills in ArbCom.
Six of the eight candidates I voted for got in, with the two exceptions being Panyd and Coren (Coren was more of a tactical support). I voted against Roger Davies for personal reasons, and Jclemens because of his view of BLPs. But overall the elections was as predicted.
