<div style="direction: ltr;">If the knowledge that “the vote is very close” had been kept secret to the board, THEN we would have an ethics issue as it would allow the incumbent candidate to sway things. However, the action the board took was to tell *everyone*
via this list, district lists, AND Facebook “the vote is close, voting closes on Dec 31st” to encourage participation of the entire membership. In my mind that’s not trying to sway the vote as it is telling everyone the same thing, regardless of which candidate
they support. </div>

I see no issue. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think it is the boards duty to keep track of the election process. To think that it’s possibe to sway the election by knowing its a close election is silly. In fact it may incourage a higher participation percentage and that is all good. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are a very small group and getting smaller because of things like this. I’m good with the election as it stands, if the board caves to the peer pressure and tosses this one, it would not change my vote. Would it change yours? That would
be more damaging than the board discussion about how close the election was. </p>
