What's the comparative benefit of that model over one where we just move the date of the election up 1-2 months from the start of the new Delegate's term? In that intervening time, whoever is then elected Delegate can endo-tart their way up to almost where the outgoing Delegate is, and then SPSF/allied militaries can be brought in when the term officially starts to finish the transition (like what is done in most Delegate transitions). 

I think the "meet higher endorsement threshold prior to election" idea is certainly an improvement over the status quo, but doesn't fully solve the problem.
