[Lnc-business] Questions to the Chair - Convention Voting Process Committee and Membership Committee votes

[Nicholas Sarwark]

I would suggest that the votes be tallied as entered, with the
exception of counting Ms. Mattson's vote for the person inadvertently
left off.  I would rather not re-open the voting for adding names not
included in the ballots cast by the deadline, nor starting a new vote.
