     At this time I have no info on the write in votes. In my last
conversation with the MVPA president he stated that the votes would not be
valid. This action was taken by him and was not a decision of the entire
board of directors to deny the members this type of voting. The Bylaws do
not specifically prohibit write in votes nor state that such votes are not
valid.
     As for the Italian ballots, in the last election there were 392 (or
362 depending on which numbers we use) ballots alleged to have been
received by the Italian CPA. This election, all members were required to
send their ballots to the MVPA CPA and I have been told (unoffically) that
less than a handful were received from overseas.

     I would suggest any members who would like to know the status of the
write in votes contact the MVPA HQ at mvpa-hq@mvpa.org and find out if
the ballots were discarded and the "official" vote totals.
