baron-pierreIV 1691 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Was thinking...to ensure that the technical merits of a finalist bid do not all go out the window in the finals, why can't the IOC give the active IFs a vote each in the election (for both the Summer and Winter)? 2ndly, if the Paralympics rides on the IOC's coattails, why not give them 3 (or a handful of) votes as well?
