I disagree. The guidance I quote: “ To be counted, your vote must be time stamped during this period and be copied to all three members of the election committee: Patrice Green - <[email protected]> Mike Sweeney <[email protected]> Pat Asher <[email protected]> “ The “and be ‘copied’ to all three” is pretty clear.

Our instructions were to send an e-mail to each of the three of you! It did not instruct as to addressed to one and cc'd to the other two, or 3 separate e-mails. I sent three separate e-mails........ Hopefully all three of you received it. I agree some sort of confirmation that our votes have been received would be great!

What I think we all can agree on is that at best, the English language is an imperfect method of communication :-) Pat Asher At 01:35 PM 2/19/2015, Mike \(Dino\) Peterson wrote: >I disagree. >The guidance I quote: >“ >To be counted, your vote must be time stamped during this period and >be copied to all three members of the election committee: > >Patrice Green - <[email protected]> >Mike Sweeney <[email protected]> >Pat Asher <[email protected]> >“ >The “and be ‘copied’ to all three” is pretty clear. >Mike >Clay Co
