Make them sweat a little.
Vote No on APSA Elections
-
This has been proposed a number of times in the past. They'll just declare winners and not release any turnout results.
The best way to deal with APSA is to stop being a member and stop attending conferences. There's no reason for 90% of the discipline to be members in the first place. If you're not at a top 20, APSA doesn't do a thing for you professionally. If you're not an outspoken radical, APSA has no resources for you. So why be a part of an association that takes your dues and hands them over to people who will never include those like you.
Starve the beast. It's broken beyond repair, and only serves about 100-150 people in our field.

If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Join up, vote no, and go to the annual meeting and complain.
