Gene: We did exercise our votes in this household and do so every year. Everyone should understand that sometimes those minority votes cast will elect what may not be your choice and if you did not vote, then do not complain. I did ask our Vice President, Gary Szymczak, (out of curiousity) when he posted on Thursday the results of the Board and Directors election how many actual votes were cast. He told me he just reported what was announced at the meeting, Nothing more. I thought that in the past when they announced the results the total was given and then onto the individual number. It would be an interesting comparison to see total number of votes and compare to the numbers for each individual determining the number or percentage they actually received.
