Ripard will make an excellent and effective CSM, and his horrific screams of existential angst when he discovers the true nature of what he's gotten himself into will be the icing on the bitter cupcake of victory.

Why do so many that run for csm take this irrational view that they are not involved in game development? Everything in this thread is about how eve should develop - except the question about sony/dust - which you punted on.
Most of the time, CSM members try not to act as "Junior Game Designers", though of course we are human and there is a big grey area between simply evaluating CCP presentations and pushing for specific solutions.
Two things that CSMs do a lot of are:
* Priortization advocacy -- arguing that particular aspects of the game need more attention. This is more like 'Fix sov!" as opposed to "Fix sov by doing X"
* Solution feedback -- when CCP comes up with a proposed solution, we evaluate it in light of the extra information we are privy to. I'm constantly pushing for more background info so we can evaluate things in the proper context. In the case of things like ship balancing, we usually see the first pass and give some feedback, then they are put out for broader community feedback. I would like to see this done whenever possible.
So tl/dr, there's a difference between being involved in game development and game design.

Did this ever happen to anyone you can mention? Read between the lines of any Summit Minutes you care to. I believe the phrase used in the most recent set of Minutes for this sort of thing was a reference to "some unconstructive POS-related banter".
Actually, IIRC this was code for sarcastic trolling by the CSM, a "modest suggestion" or two, if you will -- but I'd have to re-download the video of the session to check.

It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway and give him a bump) that Ripard will be on my recommended ballot.

CCP will be releasing all the ballots in .blt form. You won't know who voted for whom, but you will have all the information needed to verify and analyse the election using either CCP Veritas' or my Wright-STV python scripts. So you will be able to determine how many people voted the full CFC ticket, how many said "screw the HBC" and only voted for the CFC candidates, and so on.
With respect to exhausted ballots, this is much more likely to be a factor in the top-2 election. Anyone with more than a few candidates on their ballot is unlikely to exhaust their ballot in the top-14 election, though if their ballot gets reduced to their final choice and that candidate is strong enough to transfer overvotes, some of their voting power will be lost. The tl/dr is that it might possibly change who squeaks into the final seat.
One thing that CCP probably won't be releasing (I don't know if they even have the information) would be a .blt file that lists each individual ballot cast in the order that they were recorded. With this plus information on how many people voted during each 24 hour period, you would be able to do some fascinating analysis.
