So are the registered folks identified by name?

Ps. I am reminding everyone I know already.

Why do these elections take so long? Do we really need this much time to vote?

If the EB really wanted more people to vote, all they have to do is include a very controversial proposal in the vote. Something like free beer for EB members and staff or and extra week of vacation for EB and Committee members!!! There is more than one way to get people to vote! <G>

Perhaps the 500 don't have faith in any of the candidates that are running and are therefore making a statement by not choosing anyone. Or they are just lazy.

In the Soviet Union they actually did have elections, but the Communist party candidate was the only one on the ballot. They did, however, have the option to vote NO. There were actually a few local elections when the party chose a candidate that was so disliked and so odious that NO actually carried the day.

I wonder how NO would have fared last Tuesday, but I digress.

They (the 500) probably are just lazy.
