NSRCA Voting Process

[Wayne Galligan]

And the great ideas keep pouring in.   I like this one... low tech.. low budget.  Seems the K-Factor is just about going to have to be mailed as well as be available through the NSRCA website.

Sorry Matt, I am illiterate to the ways of manufacturing that kind of a process and the costs.  Just my opinion and I am sure that as the ideas flow in that it may change.

  Why not have the ballots in the KFactor? Every magazine has these little thingies somewhere in the pages, why not the KF? 

  The problem is getting the totals. It seems that you folks just went through a bunch of expense becauase you didn't trust the secretatyr to do an accurate count, so that expense will continue in the future.
