(as someone who was very disappointed in the slate of candidates,
I am glad to see that my vote did make a difference.)

Holy shit, Bruce.  I didn't even know you were running.

Thanks to everyone.  It should be an interesting two years.

(minor question that I believe has been answered in years past:  how many
eligible voters were there, and how many of them voted?)

response 203 of 225: Mark Unseen   Dec 18 18:45 UTC 2003

I believe there are 77 eligible voters, & 46 of them voted.  John can correct
me if I'm wrong.

It's innocent until proven guilty. I'm not sure it applies to your 
situation...

resp:204  (Jamie, Jamie, Jamie...  you're a bright boy, but I'll point
          out the obvious to you anyway:  "member" does not equal 
          "eligible voter."  3-month rule and all that.)

I reported all the recent new members in Agora - there has been one since
Jamie sent his mailing.  Dave was referring to the number of eligible
voters, which is currently (and was at the end of the election) 79.

There are 3 reasons a member might not be eligible to vote:
1) because he or she hasn't paid for at least 3 months,
2) because he or she is behind on his or her dues, but still in a grace
   period, and
3) because the member is not an idividual but an institution.

Try !members -v | wc instead.
Obviously my memory was not good for a couple of minutes, earlier.  I did
this, then wrote a quick script (possibly buggy, so as I said John can correct
my results), & then put in both numbers.  But obviously it should have been
79 not 77.  <sigh>

---- janc joining (Dec 18 21:58)
janc:     Is it safe to come out?
janc:     Under the limit, but over the plan.
---- janc leaving (Dec 18 21:58)

Can you believe it?!

response 213 of 225: Mark Unseen   Dec 19 04:14 UTC 2003

Actually you can just do !members -v -c .  (-c tells it to count the group
instead of listing it.)

Thanks to davel for reporting the number of folks who voted.  We did
have a higher turnout this year, for whatever reason.

A few years ago I put code in the vote program to log the date and
time whenever someone casts a ballot.  It also distinguishes between
whether the vote was by the tty interface or the web.  I then proceeded
to forget that I had done this.  A question by Joe Gelinas about the
availability of statistics on voting patterns jogged my memory.  So
here are some results:

        tty interface:  88 ballots cast
        web interface:  30 ballots cast

        Day-by-day activity:

Since people can vote multiple times, there's no particular correlation
between these numbers and candidate totals.  We can see a bunch of voting
activity at the beginning of the voting period and another flurry at the
end (not surprising), plus a couple of bulges in the middle with less
obvious explanations.

How many new members did we get around the voting period, who then 
proceeded to vote?
aruba
response 221 of 225: Mark Unseen   Dec 19 19:21 UTC 2003

We received two new members during the voting period.  One send his check
in November, the other in December.
