Hi, Folks - Voting passwords are currently being sent out, and thus far we've received close to 50 bounces. Approximately half or better of those are "chronic" bounces. They have bounced previously, some all the way back to at least April in the SEMA Poll. When the EC is unable to easily track down a valid addy by checking the website or county table, we must contact the state coordinators. Sometimes we get replies and corrections (which are very much appreciated), but sometimes not. Sometimes "new" addresses bounce also. Since the EC is not authorized to arbitrarily remove any names from the voter list, even when the addresses constantly bounce, we end up chasing down some of the same bad addresses over and over again. This redundancy creates a lot of wasted time, effort, and resources - not just for us, but also for you and for Larry Stephens who operates the voting software. If you receive a request for assistance from an EC member or helper, would you please either find a valid address for the volunteer or determine whether the volunteer should be removed from the voter list? If the name should be removed, please let us know right away. Thanks! Ellen Pack Chair, EC
