  1. Formal ballots do not erase proven unlawful domination of administration
  2. Ballots conclusively legalize every employer veto
  3. Any election eliminates the statutory definition
  4. A company can always dictate nominees without scrutiny
  5. The union becomes independent merely by printing membership cards
