[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 3785671, member: 37112"] You're chasing ghosts. Have you ever been involved in your local union officer elections? Give that a try and your questions will be answered. The process isn't the issue. Eligible voters are members current with dues. The IBT (as one would assume) keeps a close eye on this. Anyone not current gets flagged (off work for a month could affect eligibility) and their ballots are then checked for eligibility before being counted. That's why the outer envelopes must have member names on them. Candidates (elections) and interested parties (contracts) have rights to observe the entire process including questioning eligibility of any ballot, mailing and counting. Very few ballots (% wise) are questioned. If the decision is close enough that challenged ballots could impact the results, additional efforts are made to determine eligibility. Your local union could have elections this fall. Might be a good opportunity to learn. [/QUOTE]
