So the same guy who approved using an official pub to attack a candidate also supervises the vote counters? That is more than enough to question the integrity of the process....


Note 1: AMA Bylaws, Article XIII: "The official AMA publications shall be prepared and distributed under the supervision of the Executive Director."

Note 2: AMA Bylaws, Article X, Section 8: "The Executive Director shall be the Chief Operating Officer of the AMA. He shall be directly responsible to the Executive Council for the operation of the AMA Headquarters staff and for the conduct of AMA business."
