Hey Andy:

How is it going in west Virginia?  Kind of wet and dreary here in West Central Illinois.

You know after you said there were no write-in votes I went back and read the by-laws.  You are right about no write-in candidates being allowed under ARTICLE VII, COMMITTEES, paragraph D.2.c.  But I thought that only applied to members of the nominating committee.  When the by-laws talk about elections (ARTICLE IV Paragraph D) it does not say anything about the general membership not being allowed to write-in candidates when voting for executive officers.  Do you have any background on the history of this when the by-laws were originally written?.  

Since you are on the by-law rewrite committee you might want to look into making a change or two.
