It's also odd that some insist on secret ballots where they feel ever so

open.


I don't think the *show of hands* in the jury system is that close to
either a union decision or parliamentary procedure. The jurors have no
interest in the outcome.

Basically they wish any goalposts moved in an attempt to get the result
they want. Regardless if it is a majority view or not.
