FESCO stated they was assembling the facts back in december but wanted to discuss it with the revoked person first.

I’ve have not seen anymore on that since then so I assume they are still working on it

Is the *middle* of an election cycle -- when some have already voted --
really the time for this?  Couldn't this have been done beforehand?  Is
