[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2016-03: Gun Rights Resolution

[Alicia Mattson]

Voting has ended for the email ballot shown below.

*Voting "aye":*  Bilyeu, Demarest, Goldstein, Hagan, Harlos, Hayes, Hewitt,
Katz, Lark, McKnight, Starchild, Vohra

*Voting "nay":*  Bittner, Marsh, Mattson

With a final vote tally of 12-3, the motion exceeded the 3/4 vote threshold
required by Bylaws Article 7.11, so it PASSES.

There has not yet been any objection to correcting the deny/denies
grammatical error, but the 10 day period for objecting to that amendment
ends at midnight Pacific tonight.
