Ok, let me make this as a clear and precise proposal of action, and either y'all agree to it or shoot it down, right quick.<G> NC race: Yes, a runoff, candidates A & B SE/MA race: Runoff. Not a clue at this time what to do in case of second runoff; hope it won't happen. SW/SC race: Top two vote getters win; top person gets the two year term, second person gets the one year term. If nobody's got a good reason why this doesn't work, can we get this off to Jim quickly? piglet (megan zurawicz) ICQ: 18429839 genealogy-- http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~piglet quilting-- http://pages.prodigy.net/mspiglet theatre-- http://members.aol.com/tupacratz/poohpix.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: jpowelljr <jpowelljr@worldnet.att.net> To: <BOARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 01 August, 1999 20:00 Subject: [BOARD-L] Re: [ELECTIONS-L] preliminary results > Board Members...
