Another 28 people voted today. Tha's 48 in total, a nice increase in voter turnout.
Justine invited two members of the TDG to open the ballot box and count ballots. In this way, we had someone outside the executive committee to inspect our count.
The results were:
Our ballots have space for five names. Voters are to write the five people they believe should be on the TDG executive committee. Sometimes a voter puts down less than five. Sometimes a voter votes for someone who is not a member of our TDG. These are the "votes not cast."
Dennis has been replaced by Zach. I know Zach well. He will be a good person for the executive committee. I feel the circle for our TDG is going to spin a little faster.
I phoned Dennis later that evening.
"Maybe me being gone is the best thing for the TDG. I've two kids to raise right. Some one else should be at the TDG meetings."
Johnny Lefthand Jr. is the chief’s son. He is only 16, but he got a few votes. Interesting.
