To the editor
When we attended the informational meeting in Quemado on April 8th, we were told that voting at the Annual Meeting on April 17th could not be done by machine. It appears that the machines cannot handle the multiple options for many of the proposed resolutions. It is also our understanding that the most important vote of the Coop in many years might be done by voice or a show of hands instead of a paper ballot.
This is a concern for a couple of reasons. First, it means that all attendees must remain until the voting is complete and verified. This could place a undue hardship on those attending from outlying areas. Secondly, there will be no audit trail in case any of the results are contested.
Even if the ballots must be counted by hand, we feel that a paper ballot is absolutely necessary.
