There was a single slate of candidates who won unanimously.

In one case there was a challenge for County Chairman, but that was highly unusual and unsuccessful.

It appeared that all politiking for who gets which slot happened behind the scenes. The attempted challenge had all the ear marks of a conspiracy to stage a coup.
