Ballots

Jerry:

The problem is that we can't trust our secretary to count them, so why should we trust a hand-written ballot?  Going to this "official" way of doing this has it's own problems, and this will have to get worked out, but I don't know what the answer is as of this moment...

Sure I would love have have EVERYONE vote and all votes count...

  Derek, I share your and other Member's quandary on "bad" ballots. 
  With 12 days to go I think those that care enough about voting to want to have a way to do it, should have some recourse. With less than 700 out, I would think that the accountants would verify the NSRCA number(on the label) and check it off. If they got two of the same number--question, or whatever they have to do to resolve it. I assume the ballot counters have all these things in their playbook , so they can handle them.
  Since they are in Florida they must have procedures for bad ballots such as: no staples,one staple, two staples, no tape,clear tape, masking tape, transparent tape, CA, Epoxy, blue ink, red ink, black ink,torn half's with only return addresses, no USPS cancellation date (don't laugh), and the number of other "bad" possibilities. :)
  I guess the ability of a member to contact them about a ballot, or what to do, is at the purview of the current Officers.
  I am not paranoid about "bad" ballots with our group of Members, and would trust a handwritten, validated input.
  But that is up to our current Officers "getting the BIG salaries" for deciding that. :) :)
  Tis the Season, you know.
