NRA Board Election - Please vote with me.

[Coiled]

This month's issue = February.

"ANY BALLOT NOT RECEIVED BY APRIL 15, 2018 WILL NOT BE OPENED OR COUNTED."

Adam is #11 on my ballot, why do they shuffle the order?

 

[F350-6]

It says 5 different ballots were printed and numbers were shuffled. I guess it's to keep it random.

 

[Ole Cowboy]

I voted last week and cannot honestly say if I voted for Adam or not. But I do try to vote for those that add something. Wish I had seen this post sooner.

 

[benenglish]

I voted last week...

At least you voted. Thanks for that.

If what I've read is correct, only a lousy 7% of eligible membership bothers to vote.

Brings up an interesting question - How many votes, typically, does a successful candidate receive? I wonder because Mr. Kraut is running a non-traditional, net-based campaign that should draw deep support in some limited quarters, i.e. people like us.

In response to his approach, Marion Hammer has published an editorial calling him an agitator and "the enemy within." Why did she feel the need to go to such an extraordinary length to put the kibosh on his campaign?

Do both of them understand the math a lot better than I do?

I'm guilty of that. It comes down to the fact that I just don't know any of these people and never see any campaigning. Rather not vote than risk voting for the wrong person...

The bad comments from Marion Hammer is probably the best press Mr. Kraut has

Well, that and the fact that she lied her ass off in that editorial. Well, maybe not. Maybe she's so out of touch that she actually believes her version of what happened in 1997. The truth, however, is a bit different.

As for positive press for Mr. Kraut, he got a notable endorsement yesterday.

 

[Davetex]

Just marked my ballot for Adam (only), put a stamp on it and headed to the post office. Done deal.

Where in the issue is the ballot located?
I did a quick look and didn't see it.

right in the middle

right in the middle

I reckon they don't want my vote then.
I looked several pages on each side of the staples in the middle of the mag.

First, are you eligible to vote? You have to be a member for 5 straight years or be a Life Member or higher.

Second, are you sure you're looking in the February issue?

Third, do you live in Hawaii? OK, I know the answer but I include this one for completeness.

Fourth, did you go digital and decline to receive magazines? Yes, I know the answer to that one, too, but for anyone (like pronstar) who declined the magazine, I thought I'd throw this in. Those members get a separate mailing with their ballot enclosed. Those folks should probably give it another week, then call member services.

Fifth, did you only recently become eligible to vote? There's some disconnect in NRA internal systems and if this is the first year you're eligible to vote, it seems that a lack of a ballot is a common occurrence. If that's the case, call member services.

Finally, if none of the above addresses the issue, call member services.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I believe I meet all the qualifications you stated.
Maybe a phone call is in order.

 

[Byrd666]

IF I remember right, separate ballot only mailings go out the first part of Feb. So you should have the ballot by mid month. +-

 

[Jack Ryan]

I voted for 9 people.

David Coy
Tim Knight
Bill Miller
Don Saba
John Sigler
Joe Friedman
Herb Lanford
William Satterfield.

Incumbents who don't "come to work" were the first ones out the door, regardless of anything else they claim or did.

 

[benenglish]

Thanks for voting.

 

[mroper]

I voted like Ben

 

[DwnRange]

Done, and your man was one of my five votes Ben.

Do you have a link to this editorial??? Thanks
