ALA Online Election Update

The message below my post just came to the Council list.

Zounds! Egad! And my stars! That’s over a 10% increase in voter participation since yesterday morning. Plus now we know what’s going on with the paper ballots. (1/4 of all members are using paper ballots? Let me adjust my bustle!)

John Duke says he will be a gent and if turnout exceeds 15%, we both lose our bets. (I bet on a 5% increase, and he bet 10%.) We may have to buy Keith Fiels a beer!
