[QUOTE="Fullhouse, post: 2396328, member: 9653"] Well the main concerns were non representation, deception, and most of all a dictatorial attitude! There is way to much to list and I don't want to bore people or highjack the thread! Bottom line is the members had enough and they chose to make a stand! The participation was at 37% more than the usual 23%. Even though that may seem small the impressive part was this. The challengers received 67% of the votes that were opened and counted! 159 votes were marked as challenged but would have been counted if the margin of victory was within 159. Also the machine use to open the envelopes had unintentionally cut a portion of the ballots off that contained the mark to vote for an entire slate! That oval was positioned right on the crease of the folded ballots, so if the trifolded ballot was not at the very bottom of the envelope, a portion of the ballot would be cut off! Something for other locals to consider before they approve the design of the ballots! In the end the membership won and good riddance to the incumbants! [/QUOTE]
