Because of this, James Kianos must withdraw his name from consideration for trustee. If he does not, it will be a tarnished election knowing his spouse, Darla Frost-Kianos, oversees the election.

On that day, you need only two hands to count the number of voters.
Little traffic, three write-in votes and one wife involved in the mix. Looks like a quack election - and definitely a conflict of interest.
