Common guys! I agree too many e-mails on this subject. End it!

All election results of the government officials a published and public knowledge, even the President of the United States. 

We do not live in a country where there is a dictatorship! It is Freedom of Speech, unseal the results and let's move on...

The votes COUNT should be informed, once all votes are counted.  It's not
good to keep it a secret. Too many emails regarding this issue.   An email
should be sent with the vote counts and quit making such a big deal.
Otherwise, it takes away from the value of the OPEN-MPE group.


This is my personal opinion.

Hold on a second!

Who specifically said that the Board refused to release the vote
count? What has been said is that it hasn't been done in the past.
The resolution at the last meeting was to release the results in
alphabetical order. Of course, this will be on the next meeting
agenda to discuss and do something different if the Board so
resolves. And if the Board does resolve to release the votes, I'll
move that Ron Seybold, as the election certifying party release and
certify the numbers, just to show that the Board is not attempting
anything untoward.

But, for crying out loud, what's the big deal? Everyone that wanted
to be on the Board is on the Board. What does it matter how many
votes went to each individual? It doesn't. Each Board member now has
a single vote. It doesn't matter one bit if one member got more votes
than another. He/she still only has one vote.

All you conspiracy theorists are doing is making more work for us,
giving us less time to focus on what's important. The new Board has
only just been seated - give them at least one meeting to do
something before complaining.
