	Transportation - Open Seat
		An open seat is not an empty seat.
		An empty seat is a seat on a bus that is not occupied and is not paid for by the Board.

	NovaTech Valve and Seat Design History
		Full open seats / wing guided valves have been available for years, however their performance as a general rule have never been on a par with web seats / stem guided valves.
		As with all full open seats, the symmetrical load to the fluid end does prevent out of round seat tapers and washed out fluid ends; also suction seats can be removed without disturbing the discharge seat on valve over valve fluid ends.
		Web seats tend to be significantly more out-of-round that full open seats because when heat treated the webs result in different shrinkage rates when the seats are quenched.

	Two open-seat races dominate congressional contests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The open-seat races provided the most excitement in California, where the redrawing of district lines after the 2000 census made almost every seat safe for the party that holds it and difficult for a challenger to oust an incumbent of a different party.
		In the race for the seat vacated by retiring Republican Rep. Doug Ose, the main candidates are Ose's older sister Mary, a businesswoman and political moderate; former state attorney general and Rep. Dan Lungren; and state Sen. Rico Oller, who's tried to position himself as the most conservative of the three.
		While Democrats are in the minority in Washington, the race for the open seat in the Fresno-based 20th congressional district was no less intense than around Sacramento.

		These new numbers highlight the growing dilemma faced by House Democrats that many of their open seats are in jeopardy of GOP takeover.
		In fact, nonpartisan analyst Charlie Cook, in his most recent analysis, listed two Democrat open seats in the "Lean Republican" category, while no Republican open seat was listed in the "Lean Democrat" category.
		Add these two seats to the 7-seat majority already held by House Republicans (with Rep. Jim Traficant’s public support of Hastert) and the Democrats are facing — in their best case scenario — a 9-seat hill to climb.

		24th District: This is an open seat, and the endorsement goes to Democrat Elizabeth Hernandez, a secretary in Cicero School District 99 and president of the Cicero Democratic Organization.
		38th District: This is an open seat because Democrat Robin Kelly, director of community affairs for the village of Matteson, beat the incumbent, Rep. Harold Murphy last March.
		59th District: For this open seat, the nod goes to Democrat Kathleen A. Ryg, a Vernon Hills trustee who is the chief deputy recorder in the Lake County recorder's office who understands that if no funding source can be found to expand Route 53, some other solution must be considered to handle area traffic nightmares.

	Idaho Mountain Express: Election debate on city's horizon - March 30, 2005
		Milt Adam, who ran unsuccessfully for a designated council seat in the 2003 municipal election, submitted last week an initiative petition that requests the city restore open-seat elections for Sun Valley City Council.
		The policy requires the candidates to indicate which seat on council they would like to fill.
		"Open-seat elections, wherein all candidates run for the two City Council seats and winners being the two with the highest number of votes, are totally fair and simple," Adam said.

	Idaho Mountain Express: Open-seat election plan rejected - October 27, 2004
		At issue is whether the city should establish an election system that awards council seats to at-large candidates who earn the most votes, instead of to candidates running for specific seats.
		Elections for designated seats essentially protect two incumbents running in the same year from having to campaign against each other, he noted, and at times citizens might be reluctant to directly challenge an incumbent with whom they are acquainted.
		Agnew said she prefers designated seats to open seats in part because so-called “bullet voting”—the practice of voters selecting only one candidate among several running for two or more open seats—carries a “huge risk” of skewing election results.
