If Tocker's region had been the same size as or even half the size of Almeida's, Tocker would have won. [Keeping the same voting ratio, putting Region 7 at 82 voters - still just half the size of Region 2 - Tocker votes go from 49 to 69, Almeida's from 9 to 13 and Tocker comes out on top.]  Of course, that's all "ifs and buts' for Tocker.  Almeida ran a good, clean campaign and earned the victory.  He is not to be faulted for the reality of Regional differences and "favourite son" votes.

All in all, the VP/Treasurer contest did not match up nearly so much as a choice between two opposing factions as the Presidential race clearly was.  There is much less to be gleaned from the delegates' decision.  The clear mandate was given to Warren "Smokey" Thomas.
