The Election Committee wishes to add our apology to Larry Stephen's (following). The final official election results will be posted in a separate e-mail. Linda Davenport Chair, USGenWeb Election Committee ******* >From Larry Stephens My apologies for all the confusion and especially to Ms. Rippee and Ms. Wood. As I was changing some lines of code to count the run off (which required an edit of the code for the regular election) I edited the wrong line on this one race. The counting is complicated by people who voted twice. In some instances the first vote (all votes are time stamped) was empty, i.e., they clicked the submit button without checking any choices. I counted that as an error on their parts and allowed a second vote to count. If anyone was selected in the first vote then subsequent votes did not count. There were a number of password errors. When only one digit was off and everything else matched, I counted it. The likelihood of anyone getting several digits right by rnadom choice is about nil. In some case neither the password nor the email address matched anything I had so those were not counted. Then you had people voting in races they were not qualified to vote in, so that had to be sorted out. I started from scratch, re-did everything, wrote new algorithms, checked data manually (for duplicates, etc.) and the final counts are, I believe, exactly the same as before except for the one race that I messed up in the programming. The data is here; I'll keep it if anyone else wants to check it. Harrison 233 Rigdon 107 Epperson 74 Kelly 43 Kilgore 29 Oliver 37 Rippee 45 Wood 42 Again, I'm sorry for the mixup. Larry Stephens
