What I say goes?

Shelom! Earlier this night at scouts, we were electing interim patrol leaders, about 7 guys were running out of 14 present. There were two guys up there I was voting for, and whenever my hand went up about 4 other hands went up with it. Not surprisingly the two people I voted for won. I don't know, but maybe I wield a little to much power, I don't know if other hands went up because of mine, but once when I signaled "not him" the guy got 0 votes. Anyway, I might have to decrease my own power, God bless
