Re: [ga] vote appeal

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Harald and all remaining assembly members,

  Yes but there were two separate ballots sent.  I got two for instance.
This was particularly confusing.  I understand that two ballots were sent
because Jon Weingerg dropped out in the middle of the election process.
None the less this was particularly confusing to the electorate.  As a
result the election was effected by this event.  I believe this is the gist
of eric's concern.
