[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 902929, member: 17969"] Its the same story over and over with Teamster elections. Here out west, we have a different perspective on elections. Our numbers continue to go DOWN each election cycle instead of UP. Why?? Any guesses?? Well, let me explain. When they count the ballots, they count the south, central and east and by that time, both the WEST and CANADA's votes dont really matter, so members our here say "why bother to vote?"..."my vote isnt going to count anyways". As for the turnout for the central and south, pretty much the running average for those regions. Im still cross checking the results for the east, so I dont have those numbers yet. I was dissapointed by our numbers from the west, and heard many excuses in my yard, but I understand the reasons why our numbers are weak. Now , thats not to say that if more people voted it would have changed the election, cause I dont believe it would have. Typically, those that dont vote dont have anything against the incumbents and figure they are going to win anyways. Peace. [/QUOTE]
