Winning against nobody.

Unopposed Martin Romualdez secures final term as Leyte representative

This article is not sarcastic. We are happy to see the Debian elections over, but we must also point out that 50 people voted for "none of the above" and ~350 voted (not the lowest ever, but somewhere at the lower end of the scale).

As someone reminded others: "She ran unopposed."

Congrats to the new DPL. We plan to upgrade Debian some time this month.
