I doubt that the San Martinos would accept anything less!

Most, at least, has not. SKM Constitution does not allow for more than
10% additional per election. That is part of why High Ridge was not
allowing elections (large part). As they are not all (any?) seated
yet, even if the cluster is annexed, the San Martinos will likely be
seated first unless token elements of Cluster delegations are
intermixed with San Martino's legitimate prior claimants.

Likely, although selection by long-term election is not out of the
question (20 years maybe? or life of electee??)
