Ballots

[Ed Alt]

Steve:
I never said there was a conspiracy theory.  I expressed doubt that anyone could pull it together in time to figure out what went wrong and get it to me.  Your email is really insulting.  Don't you think that with a deadline of 12/31 and with the fact that the mail is slow this time of year, that adequate steps should have been taken to get the ballots out in a timely manner?

  Ed-- lets not start another conspiracy theory-- I just checked the mail list that the company used for the ballot mailing. You were listed:

  Edward Alt
  7 Parkview Rd
  Randolph, NJ 07869

  At this time of the year, it seems much more likely that the US Postal Service would be the problem, not any devious motives of anyone in NSRCA to exclude you from the voting. I don't know what the post office loss or delay rate is, but with 692 eligible members being sent ballots, I would guess a few.

  Surely we can get a replacement priority-mailed to you next week, or accept a hand-written and signed replacment. I'm just a worker bee, but I'm sure no one wants a vote lost because of a problem anywhere in the process chain.

    Derek:
    I've contacted her already, but something tells me it's all for naught.  What are the chances this accounting firm is going to have a responsive staff left this close before the holidays that will find my ballot or print up a new one, send it, have it get here in the Christmas mail crush and allow me to get it back in time?  Not likely. What's the plan for people that never get a ballot?  I'm sitting here with my NSRCA renewal card and wondering why I should send it back in if I can't vote for the organization's leadership.  Oh well.

      Ed,

      I got mine on Thursday (west coast) so you should have yours already.  Please contact Maureen and she'll try to get you one ASAP.  That goes for everyone that has not received one.  BTW, they are green in color - postcard size when folded in half.  They are due back - postmarked 12/31/04.

      I still haven't received my election ballot.  Anyone else out there who hasn't received theirs?  When are they due back in?

      Thanks
