A prefect time to mention that the weighted ballot is a dumb way to vote. If you you vote for more than one person on a weighted ballot your first and second vote cancel out your first pick. I say do away with the weighted ballot. Terry Cyndy Davis <cyndy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: At Lew,s request I looked into Electronic Balloting early this year. The cost was about the same as paper, but the two companies I contacted were hesitant because of the way we vote for judges. They would have to write a new program to tally the votes, and would have to count the paper one manually. Many organizations use electronic balloting, I am sure our day will come, but not soon.

What I am saying is that there is no amount of time that can guarentee delivery to Canada from the USA.
