I believe that people marked their ballots incorrectly and they were not to count. Didn't he intervene and ask that all votes would be counted even if the ballot was marked incorrectly? He can answer that question. I am sorry when anyone is blasted for doing what is most fair for the membership. Is there a difference in marking a ballot incorrectly and following directions to obliterate the back of the envelope? Many might think so. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
