I can see how some people may be having trouble voting.

I get a different web site when I connect to the advertised,
http://www.openmpe.org/ verses the seemingly correct
http://openmpe.org/.  The http://openmpe.org/  site actually has a
link on it that says "Annual Vote"

I know I am a member.  But for the life of me, if I every received a
member number I must of lost it. I save every email I receive (with
the exception of obvious spam), and I can not find it anywhere.

A combination of these two things may influence people's desire and
ability to vote.
