+- a small amount of randomization in the election timeout is enough to avoid split votes in elections. 
+- In the absence of randomness, leader election consistently took longer than 10 seconds in our tests due to many split votes. Adding just 5ms of randomness helps significantly, resulting in a median downtime of 287ms. 
+- Using more randomness improves worst-case behavior: with 50ms of randomness the worstcase completion time (over 1000 trials) was 513ms.
