Discuss:
2008 KXCI Board of Directors Election
The issue:

The bad news: They decided to
declare the election valid anyway.
"Under Arizona Revised Statute
10-3708 and 10-3722 a minimum number of 10%
of the membership must vote in
the election for the results to be official.
As of 5/14/08, the
number of completed ballots for compliance is 269." -
