To hopefully not have that happen again the Board has been working hard on making the critical change to allow electronic voting after the last very offensive election and while doing that it was realized the wording on the 'majority of POCA members' would never, ever happen so therefore the change was needed say to majority of 'votes cast'.

Even then the number of votes cast was abysmal which just proved that too many members figured their vote wasn't needed. 
 
 
That is basically the reason the membership needs to vote YES on this amendment, plain and simple.

All, 
 
Since I have not yet read the exact wording being proposed for the new 
Bylaw Amendment for Article X, I am basing my comments below on what I have read 
on this forum regarding the proposed Amendment. I have copied Larry Finch’s 
recent message below, as it seems to discuss the proposed Amendment in 
detail. 
 
I appreciate the debate on the new Bylaws Amendment but seem to feel 
the most important issue (to me at least) is either not discussed or glossed 
over in most debate I have read. This issue I am concerned about is the 
combination of allowing a majority of “votes cast” to decide passage of an 
amendment, along with the definition of only "25 votes to declare an election 
valid". To me, this amendment in its current wording smacks of the same BS that 
most of our current government lawmakers try to do by having a great change 
(electronic voting) at the top of the agenda, in effect hiding fine print that 
in the long run puts power to make future changes into the hands of a select few 
(the constant 25 voters). 
 
Considering that to change the Bylaws at the 
current time requires five-hundred-plus (500+) votes, out of maybe 
eight-hundred-plus (800+) members, it seems absurd to modify the system to only 
require twenty-five (25) votes to change the Bylaws in the future. 
 
I am not 
entirely against defining a number of votes to have a valid election, but at 
least make it a reasonably sized number backed up by statistics on the number of 
votes typically received in past elections. If past elections have only received 
25 votes, then we have a bigger problem that will not be solved with a new 
amendment. 
 
In the end I urge all of you to vote NO on the new Bylaw Amendment 
in its current wording. If the Board and Membership wants to initiate electronic 
voting, then it should be done by proposing a single Amendment that changes the 
one issue. Additional issues worthy of change to the Bylaws (such as number of 
votes for validity, simple majority of votes cast, etc) should be proposed in 
similar single issue fashion, and not buried in a comprehensive package that 
forces us to accept the changes "all or nothing".

      Craig,
      Just to clarify. While the POCA Board has for many years been
      attempting to update the Bylaws it finally came to a head after the
      last election. To hopefully not have that happen again the Board has
      been working hard on making the critical change to allow electronic
      voting after the last very offensive election and while doing that
   it
      was realized the wording on the 'majority of POCA members' would
   never,
      ever happen so therefore the change was needed say to majority of
      'votes cast'.
      As you are a relative newbie to POCA (we're coming up fast on our
   35th
      year), you have to realize as has been mentioned more than once that
   in
      a normal election there are just not that many members voting. This
   was
      proven especially the year that in hopes of a better turn-out, a
      pre-stamped and addressed envelope was included with the ballot.
   Even
      then the number of votes cast was abysmal which just proved that too
      many members figured their vote wasn't needed.
      That is basically the reason the membership needs to vote YES on
   this

      Subject: [DeTomaso] Proposed Amendment Issues
   All,
   Since I have not yet read the exact wording being proposed for the new
   Bylaw Amendment for Article X, I am basing my comments below on what I
   have read
   on this forum regarding the proposed Amendment. I have copied Larry
   Finchas
   recent message below, as it seems to discuss the proposed Amendment in
   detail.
   I appreciate the debate on the new Bylaws Amendment but seem to feel
   the most important issue (to me at least) is either not discussed or
   glossed
   over in most debate I have read. This issue I am concerned about is the
   combination of allowing a majority of avotes casta to decide passage of
   an
   amendment, along with the definition of only "25 votes to declare an
   election
   valid". To me, this amendment in its current wording smacks of the same
   BS that
   most of our current government lawmakers try to do by having a great
   change
   (electronic voting) at the top of the agenda, in effect hiding fine
   print that
   in the long run puts power to make future changes into the hands of a
   select few
   (the constant 25 voters).
   Considering that to change the Bylaws at the
   current time requires five-hundred-plus (500+) votes, out of maybe
   eight-hundred-plus (800+) members, it seems absurd to modify the system
   to only
   require twenty-five (25) votes to change the Bylaws in the future.
   I am not
   entirely against defining a number of votes to have a valid election,
   but at
   least make it a reasonably sized number backed up by statistics on the
   number of
   votes typically received in past elections. If past elections have only
   received
   25 votes, then we have a bigger problem that will not be solved with a
   new
   amendment.
   In the end I urge all of you to vote NO on the new Bylaw Amendment
   in its current wording. If the Board and Membership wants to initiate
   electronic
   voting, then it should be done by proposing a single Amendment that
   changes the
   one issue. Additional issues worthy of change to the Bylaws (such as
   number of
   votes for validity, simple majority of votes cast, etc) should be
   proposed in
   similar single issue fashion, and not buried in a comprehensive package
   that
   forces us to accept the changes "all or nothing".
   My
   2-cents!

   believe the proposed changes to Article X of the POCA By-Laws should
   meet with
   the approval of all POCA members desiring to help our club move into
   the
   21st-century.
