[NewPacifica] Open Letter on the Tainted 2007-8 WBAI local Station Board Election



   Dear Sara and Cerene and J&U:  

   Are you the pot calling the kettle black?  (And I don't mean 
African-American.)  

   I agree with some of this letter, but it is overlong, biased toward J&U, and 
completely fails, as usual, to any J&U efforts to bias the elections, including 
the execrable effort to count waivered ballots sent after the deadline.  Really 
serious disqualifying factors, such as sending ballots by other than 
first-class mail and much more imporotantly, failing to do a test mailing six 
months before the actual balloting.  

   I personally am convinced that the only way to have fair elections at 
pacifica is for the entire process to be done by an outside agency experienced 
not only in accounting but in election supervision.  Including doing the test 
mailing, and most importantly, *establishing and maintaining the membership and 
mailing lists of staff and listener subscribers.*  This process must be handled 
from beginning to end, all year round, by an outside agency.  This process 
includes the supervision, recording, possession and storage of pledge room 
attendance lists.  

   In solidarity,  


A. Solomon  
Disqualified Candidate  
Not-J&U
