Abby became chancellor right after she was caught freeing and arming delinquent prisoners. Granted she got her punishment before she became chancellor, but still. If the pin can be passed on to a criminal by fiat, why couldn't it be passed on by election? I agree that the fact that they held the election at such an emotional time (right after their 9/11 event) was kind of stupid, but I'm not sure the outcome would have been that different if the election happened later either. I don't think Arkadia's anti-Grounder movement would just cool down or fade away with time, especially after Mount Weather was lost and everyone realized they're going to starve soon. As for why Abby let Pike become chancellor after he won, I'm not sure what the alternative would have been. Rig the election? Lie to people? Forcefully overtake power?
