JP>Just got the June 20th issue of Gun Week.  It contains a report on
JP>the NRA elections and gives the following figures:
JP>
JP>1,214,307 ballots were mailed to members who were eligible to vote.
JP>
JP>71,615 ballots were returned.
JP>
JP>That works out to 5.9% of the ELIGIBLE voters actually voted.
Here's MY reason for not voting:  I looked at the ballot, and did not
know anything about anybody that was running.  Nor did I know of any
more appropriate candidates.  I figure that as long as NRA does what I
agree with, I will leave the nomination and election of the officers to
those who either have more time to gain the knowledge or are closer to
the action.  That is lot's better than having a million more ballots
filled out by the dart board technique!
