Dear Member of Congress,

Elections in our nation operate by a fairly basic principle – count the ballots actually cast. Yet a
provision in the House version of the FAA Reauthorization legislation would eliminate these fair
election standards for aviation and rail employees’ union elections, overseen by the National
Mediation Board (NMB). This provision would count eligible voters who did not participate in the
election the same as having voted “no” – an undemocratic and unfair standard different from
every other American election.

Since some Members of Congress are proposing such an inherently skewed election standard for
NMB elections, we thought you would be interested to see how congressional elections would
proceed if they were conducted under these proposed rules. If congressional elections proceeded
under the proposed rules for the NMB elections, in which non-participants were counted as votes
for the opponent, then none of the current Members of Congress would have won election in 2010.

The report on the following pages highlights the consequences of holding congressional elections
like proposed NMB elections.

The current rule is working and brings NMB elections in line with basic democratic tenets of fair
elections. Don't hold union elections for aviation and rail employees to a different standard than
any other American election. Congress should ensure that the proposed repeal of the current
NMB elections standards does not advance and that all elections in this nation remain fair and
democratic.

Sincerely,

Communications Workers of America

 What if Congressional Elections Were Like Proposed NMB Union Elections?

If Unfair For Members of Congress, Rules Are Unfair For Airline/Railroad Workers

Elections in our nation operate by a fairly basic principle –count the ballots actually cast. Eligible
voters who choose not to vote in an election certainly do not have their vote preferences assigned
in one direction or another. These are fundamental cornerstones of elections that Americans
consider fair and democratic.

Yet an under-the-radar provision in the FAA Reauthorization legislation moving through Congress
would eliminate these fair election standards for airline and railroad union elections overseen by
the National Mediation Board (NMB).

A provision in the House version of the legislation would count eligible voters who did not
participate in the election the same as having voted “no.” Counting non-voters as “no”
voters is a flagrant violation of fair election standards and would stack the decks against
unions.

Applying the Proposed Standard to Congressional Elections

Since some Members of Congress are proposing such an inherently skewed election standard for
NMB elections, we thought it would be interesting to see how their elections would proceed if we
adopted these Members’ approach for congressional elections.

In the 2010 midterm elections, 40.9% of eligible voters cast ballots nationwide. i Would it be fair
or principled to assign a vote preference to the 59% of voters who did not participate? What
would the electoral impact be for Members of Congress if they faced the same standards some of
them are proposing for NMB elections? Well, we crunched the numbers and found out.

If congressional elections proceeded under the proposed rules for the NMB elections…

None of the current Members of Congress would have won election in 2010 under
this standard. For each of the 435 House races in the 2010 elections, if you added the non-
voting eligible voting population in a congressional district to the actual vote total cast for
the opponent(s) of the current Member, then not one Member would have mustered the
majority of votes needed to win election.

1
 On average, actual 2010 congressional race winners would have received only 26.1%
of the votes in 2010 House elections if they had been conducted under the proposed
NMB election standard.

Fewer than 2% of Members would have even mustered 40% or higher. Only 6 of 435
current Members of Congress would have received 40% or higher in their election
campaigns under the proposed NMB election rules standard.

More than 1 in 10 Members would have received less than 20% of the vote in their
elections. 48 of 435 current Members of Congress would have received under 20% -- 11%
of the total Members in the House.

One Member’s Plight

To illustrate the consequences of this proposed NMB elections standard, let’s take a look at what
would happen to Rep. John Mica (R-FL), the Chair of the House Transportation and
Infrastructure Committee and the lead driver behind the insertion of the NMB elections
provision into the larger FAA Reauthorization bill. Rep. Mica received support from 69% of
the voters in his district who cast a ballot in his successful 2010 re-election campaign, amounting
to slightly over 185,000 actual votes tallied for him.

However, if you add the over 83,000 voters who voted against Rep. Mica to 312,000 eligible voters
who did not participate, then Rep. Mica would only muster 32% of the overall total – falling far
short of the majority needed for election. Rep. Mica would lose handily to the 68% of “voters” who
chose his opponent or were non-participating voters whose absence was counted as a vote for the
alternative.

While this may seem a ridiculous model for conducting a congressional election, that’s
exactly the point. If the NMB elections provision moves forward, union certification for airline
and railroad workers will rely on just such a standard. Non-voters in the election will be counted
as “no” votes and tallied the same as voters who actually voted “no.” If such a standard is unfair
and ridiculous for Members of Congress, it is unfair and ridiculous for all elections in our
nation.

The only votes that should count in an election are ones that are cast. This is not ideology, this is
common sense. Keeping airline and railroad elections fair isn’t inherently pro-union. But working
to ensure that unions can’t win elections is inherently unfair and un-American.

What it Means and Why it’s Important

The National Mediation Board (NMB) adopted a rule change in 2010 to bring NMB elections in line
with the same democratic principles as we use in other American elections: only count the ballots
of those who vote. Updating NMB’s elections standards received bi-partisan support in the 111th
Congress, with 13 House Republicans sending a letter of support to the NMB.

2
Now, as part of the FAA Reauthorization bill, some are proposing returning to the old and
undemocratic election model. Beyond ideological opposition to unions, it’s hard to find a
reason or rationale for wanting to return to such an egregiously unfair election model. In
fact, since last year, when airline and rail workers’ election rules were brought in line with every
other election we hold in our democracy, successful and unsuccessful unionization votes have
been split roughly 50-50 – thus the rule change is not an inherent advantage for unions.

The same election standards we use for congressional elections, not to mention workers covered
under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), should be used for aviation and rail workers as
well. This is not a pro-union way to conduct an election. It’s a common sense, pro-
democracy way to conduct an election, independent from ideology or party.

In the remaining pages, we include research highlighting the specific contours of congressional
elections in 2010 – if conducted under the proposed NMB standard.

 2010 Congressional Election Results if Conducted Under Proposed NMB Elections Standards

Methodology
We compiled 2010 raw vote totals and percentages from each state’s Secretary of State’s Office, Board of Elections, or equivalent
office. When such information was not available or not easily accessible from the office overseeing state elections, we used
information from the Associated Press. Using these data, we assessed the raw vote totals in favor and against all 435 House Members
elected in 2010 alongside the Citizen Voting Age Population (CVAP) estimate for their district (using CVAP as estimate for eligible
voters). Looking at each Member’s vote total as a percentage of the CVAP, we determined what percentage of their voting-eligible
constituents supported them during the 2010 elections – a figure that mirrors the way union elections would be governed under the
proposed NMB election standard. The far right column in the below table reflects the percentage that would have opposed the
Member in 2010 if congressional elections were conducted under the same standards as proposed for NMB elections. The percentage
in that column reflects the combined total of the constituents who either cast a vote against the Member in 2010 or were eligible via
the district’s CVAP total but did not vote.

*There were two districts (FL-21 and LA-07), where there was no raw vote tally available for the 2010 race. Both Members ran
unopposed and, unlike in other states with unopposed candidates, these states did not tabulate votes in favor of the lone candidate.
