Bob
What you are saying is not without merit. I'm still not comfortable with putting someone in office, be it AMA or whatever, with with such a small percentage of votes cast.
Are you saying three & a half percent is not a small percentage one way vs another?
Its just 3.5% of ballots sent out.... that is a margin of error in some polls for cryin out loud.
Its gonna get down to just about 200 members returning ballots soon,
and then you'd be happy if it was a 110count vs 90count
... just 110 AMA Members make the president of a 100k member org would be ok while 80-60-60 would be bad?
Or is a vote broken down 25% - 26% - 49% just too close for you to be comfortable with what they really wanted.
Bob, when only 7% of the ballot getters send them back
the difference between Plurality & Majority is just a minor fraction of one percent of the AMA:
Aint Nobody voted for "A", and "B" got even less[:@]
Here is how the last vote broke down:
The winner got around 3% of the ballots sent out,
and the other guys got about 2% & 1% of the ballots sent out.
THAT is the problem that dwarfs plurality vs Majority: Aint nobody votin at all
Bob, go back & read the threads where we "complained" about a guy on the nom-com that didnt even read Hoss' resume and didnt know what AMA seats he held after they kicked his Member Nomination off the ballot last year.
