Re: High Rate of ballot rejections this year



Hi,

        It was suggested that I also post the mailers that were used
  in successfully sending a ballot to the voting engine, and here are
  the results. I am attaching both the list of good mailers, as well
  as the reasons for rejection of the ballot, with the MUA and count.

	I note that there were tweo succesful votes from people who
 use Outlook (and no rejections).

	Mutt still impresses.
