The power of proxy vote. Interestingly, I was just replaced on the HOA board by proxy vote. Seems they didn’t want anyone on their board who voted against their decisions. So there got proxy votes from the clique members, who never come to meetings, to vote in a more controllable board member.
We don't have an HOA, but an "improvement association". They have an old cabin that is the "community center", and I call it their club house. They kicked out all the good people who gave a crap about the community, and got all their cronies voted in. The good people were doing things for the community, these people don't like anyone that tells them they are violating laws or mismanaging funds. We still have one good man on the board, but I believe he is being replaced this election. They have their people run and then use donations to help get them elected. It's ridiculous. HOAs and "improvement associations" can go to hell. You own your home, you decide what you can do with it. End of story.

Usually they are realtors and busy bodies who trade "annual requirements" for kickbacks from the "approved service providers"

The corruption is everywhere.
