        Ryan 69 approved and 135 disapproved so it didnt make it.

          What is even worse is less than 1/2 of the ballots were even returned. There were probably almost that many posting on HR about the rule proposal.

            Maybe not so bad.

            I am betting Brian that of those 555, a few hundred are super licenses. I am sure a 100-150 Mod or Pro racers did not have a stron enough opinion to cast a ballot. Take those numbers out of the 555 and actually the response rate it probably between 66-and 75 percent. I think it probably is a pretty good response. However, I am guessing.

              555-150=405 208/405=.51 51%

              You are probably right about the Super licence thing. If you are right about the 150, which seems reasonable to me, then a 51% return rate is still kind of sad.

                  I firmly believe my wife tossed mine in the garbage(she said she did not but yet it has never been found) OR my Labrador retriever ate it but since i had not set any food on it that is doubtful

                    Dean, I suspect you are right. It's a "whose ox is being gored" type of thing. If you are not an active participant in one of the classes on the "edge" then maybe you didn't have reason to vote on that particular issue. Still in all ... not really a bad voter response.

                      Why?

                      I received my ballot and did not vote on it. Why? looked like a pissing match.

                      Members that want change to recognize National points for what they are – National classes and points
                      Vs.
                      Members that want a clear path for future growth of the SO division.

                      Both worthy causes.

                      Watching this pissing match unfold here I decided not to vote on a rule that will not impact me in any way.

                      Ironically, The S.O. rule that would impact me, My superiors have decided I do not get to vote on...

                      See ya at the races.

                        You know it's funny, for years we have been hearing the same thing "We need to cut classes." "Our race days are too long." "I'm tired of watching three and four boat races." Now, finally, we have a chance to approve a rule, that will do this for us, completely unbiased, and it gets voted down. It blows my mind.

                              Election Breakdown:

                              Total Possible Voters = 100% (555 registered stock racers)
                              Voter turnout = 37.5% (208 registered stock racers)

                              555 eligible voters
                              208 ballots returned by voters
                              204 ballots counted by APBA
                              • 3 late ballots due to post mark
                              • 1 over or under vote (assuming this is the missing vote)


                              Election Results:

                              Approve = 33.8% (69 votes)
                              Disapprove = 66.2% (135 votes)
                              Total = 100% (204 votes)


                              Observations:

                              This is a landslide. Even if those who chose not to vote voted, the election would have gone the same way. It would be statistically improbable for a majority of the votes to break the other way.

                              A 37.5% turn out is actually rather higher than I expected. Many elections for local and state races in the US are around 3% to 20%. I would be interested in the turn out in last Ocoee, FL City election and would guess it was lower than the APBA Stock turnout.

                              Those Stock racers who didn’t vote probably don’t vote in their local city, county or state elections either. Most likely they don’t attend their local homeowner association meeting, crime watch meetings, town hall meetings, Parent Teacher Association meetings, etc. You would be shocked, and probably appalled, at how few Americans get involved in their communities whether it be voting or attending civic meetings.
