I did hear that the New Hampshire election in 2003 was scheduled so that 
the confirmation would be at General Convention.  This allowed for the 
hearing of evidence in public and close study of the election before the 
result was confirmed.

Am I right in thinking that at one time all episcopal elections were 
confirmed at General Convention?  That would have had the unfortunate 
effect of clumping the filling of dioceses to a relatively short period 
every three years.
