They need to make it somewhat right and get the results out, like YESTERDAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I seem to recall that the issue was that the firm that did the mailing incorrectly classified it as bulk. I'm not sure how the CPA firm is responsible for that error. There may be multiple audits that the ballots need to go through in order to be validated and the election certified. I think we need to not let our anxiety get the better of our decorum here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I think we need to not let our anxiety get the better of our decorum here. Anxiety, ANXIETY, ANXIETY I don't have any anxiety All kidding aside, if you are running a business, and you farm out a project, YOU are responsible for the poor performance of the "farmer", in this case the mailing company not posting the ballots in the proper manner. The CPA firm is certainly accountable the way I see it. That said, I would think, knowing that the mistake ultimately falls on their shoulders, they would be doing EVERYTHING possible to get the results out SOONER rather the what we are getting, which is LATER!!! It is not like they were doing us a favor for free, USPSA paid for the CPA firm to run the election!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well, then ultimately WE'RE to blame as USPSA is in our employ. There's a difference between responsibility and culpability. Each needs to be applied appropriately or it makes business relationships very difficult. And nobody is more excited for Nik to become an AD than me.

USPSA extended the voting deadling by one month and, as I understand it, concurrently extended the reporting time by a corresponding amount. The CPA firm is not in violation of any contract, arrangement or verbal understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Boudrie Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 RobHow about a reasonable "guesstimate" on the results being made public? I'm not in the loop enough to have any more info on that than you, and I have made a decision that I will not bother Dave Thomas asking "when", as it will not help speed things along. There have been no reports to the board on the status of the count (at least not that I have received and I tend to get that stuff), so I ssume this means there is nothing to report yet. If the 15th arrives and I haven't heard, I will be in touch with Dave asking for a status report and time schedule. Experience tells me that Dave moves quickly once he gets the results from the CPA firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, read HERE And here is a quote from This Thread DaleI do, I actually live in the county that made the entire US wait a MONTH for the presidential election results. And without getting political here, that was due to some DUMB AZZ's who could not read the ballot that was designed by THEIR OWN party!!!! The whole chad thingy was just a bonus from a guy who failed to realize he lost the election. It was a poorly designed ballot that was easy to mistakenly place a vote for a candidate who you did not intend to vote for, IF you were too stupid to read the ballot that is. WOW, after 7 years, I finally got that off my chest, I feel MUCH better now As a matter of fact, I feel so much better, who cares when they get us the USPSA results!!!

So The General Manager took care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
