They can't possibly split. If I have a whale account and I want to split that I have to power down. Each power down takes 13 weeks, with 1 week per installment. I simply won't have the chance to do this. The election is in a few weeks. At best anyone attempting will have a shot at a couple small accounts. It's honestly a waste of time for them to attempt this. It would be a better use of their time to write a nice bio and set of reasons for them to be elected.
