well if i lost by 5 votes AND the total vote appeared low, you can bet on problems, especially with the current situation. 1-2 votes could be the difference in making it to the Board or not.

We may have missed the mark and broke P & P already. 1st class mail out and back- new envelope color to differentiate the 2 ballot entries. Is this doable for a return by the deadline? Today is the 20th. I just see a major roadblock if we don't send new ballots. Protesting will follow. Especially if the overall vote is low due to the mail situation. Am I wrong? Example: If you are on the judges slate and miss by 5 votes to another candidate, would you accept this?
