   No problem. They select the cut off date, and all shareholders of that 
date can vote. They just push a button on the computer and out comes a 
list. If the stock was traded on the exchange, the sale was recorded even 
if it was only one share.  
 
   That's how a lot of the nutcases get the floor at the meetings. Buy a 
few shares and they can not keep you out.
