I need to clearify what we do. We have always handed out blank pieces of
paper.
Now if that was the correct thing to do or not is unimportant to my
origional post. My point was that we should not tell Joe to *not* vote for
Bill. Nor can we tell Joe to vote for Bill.
So when my reference to leaving a name off of the ballot, I was saying that
we should not influence the elections.
As far as I am concerned, having the OA lodge members hand out a blank
piece of paper shows that the troop adult leaders are totaly out of the
picture in the elections, as it should be.
