Sarge Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 IBTL Another good thread down the drain.... As far as showing an address to vote don’t forget various agencies, military etc that have people rotating overseas all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Off topic, but has anything been sent out with info on the candidates? I recall last election seeing some kind of bios or interviews with each candidate, but haven't seen anything this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The citizenship change and the us address is not very well thought out. But this is USPSA and is par for the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been nothing that I can see, even the announcement of this being an election year was tucked away in a corner in the magazine. Very little info has been published by USPSA.... this is not normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gose Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Interestingly, the bylaws dont require citizenship to be eligible to be president, only residency. Personally, I dont see why we wont simply allow all members to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The May/June edition had questions for the candidate and there were responses for one candidate for Area 8 and one from Mike Foley. But there was nothing from Valentine in the edition. Perhaps those responses will be in the July/August edition, but that edition has not been published, yet voting is open now.

BritinUSA Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Maybe someone can contact Valentine and find out if he knows when/if his responses will be posted in the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Election started already. A little late to have his info posted in a magazine, I am sure it wasn't done on purpose.

BritinUSA Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That’s my point. His responses should have been in the same edition as Foley’s. If his responses are in the July edition then this would be grossly unfair to the other candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a r.o. get DQd for shooting a hole in a ditch barrel clearing a shotgun? You should appreciate president foley's diligence on this issue. He has been going to great lengths to test the skill and integrity of the RO corps by getting dq'd at as many major matches as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Then hear what I'm going to say... We've let this thread run a bit because frankly, it is amusing. Wild-eyed theories that some foreign group who would buy a block of memberships in order to influence the election of the USPSA President is pretty damn funny. What ain't funny is the verbiage that's starting to creep in about the candidates themselves. Please read the Forum Guidelines, conveniently located at the top of every forum page. We don't allow political discussions here. When it poked some fun at the process, it was OK, When it starts targeting candidates, positively or negatively. . . .it's done.
