I believe some things have been asked for already: * minutes or logs. * details of financial dealings. Only a very limited amount of both has been made available. I am not sure whether 25% really is a sufficiently high percentage to ever be able to claim that an election becomes invalid. Especially since some people have already claimed that they do not wish to be a member if transparency is this low.
