will meet on the 19th, as agreed, but at 7:00 PM in order not to
conflict with Audit.

The problems created by actions (or inactions) of elections
supervisors local and national, often with the approval of foundation
counsel, are expensive, and I believe that stations should resist
having the cost of these legal expenses billed back to the station in
question. The elections supervisors local and national report to the

Bylaws amendments on election schedule adopted 9/07

28 June, 2008 - 17:00
For reference, I've attached and pasted below the bylaws
amendments that were approved last September concerning the timetable
for Delegate elections. For explanatory purposes, I have left in place
the rationale paragraphs that were included on the Pacifica website
during the 60-day period when this was pending before it was

Folks,
I'd like to focus on possible policy solutions. In this case, Casey knew there was a write-in candidate b/c he ran w/ a slate. It's foreseeable that a write-in could run without being noticed by election officials. Can something be done about it?

Re: [PNB_Elections:416] KPFK recount violates court order

Without going into all of the inaccuracies, misunderstandings and
misstatements in the Casey Peter's comments below, suffice it to say that
there never was a court order or judgment in the case he is referring to in
Los Angeles. There was testimony and conversation in the courtroom and
comments from the bench. There was not an order or a judgment.

The election supervisors should have checked that Makalani was a member
before they started counting the votes. That is it. If that had been done,
he would have been disqualified and there would not have been a problem.
End of story.

Mr. Makalini was a write-in candidate because he did not qualify for
nomination by the nomination deadline. The bylaws require membership
for nomination but do not require nomination or membership for
election as a delegate. The National Election Supervisor did not have
a legal opinion supporting disqualification in the election tally on

Terry,
As a party to this case, I do not agree to voiding the certified
election.
Neither did Judge Yaffe.
Had you been present in court, you would know that the Plaintiffs were
in the wrong.
You should have heard the judge YELLING at them and their counsel.
This ill-considered action will cost Pacifica tens of thousands of

With respect to the title of this thread, the Court's preliminary
ruling is not a court order and a recount is not a violation or a
de-certification. If the parties in litigation at KPFK eventually
agree to the initial count certification or agree to request recount
certification and no additional parties in interest register objection

Recount Ruling at KPFK
Introduction
The issue at hand is not about who was or was not elected to the KPFK
Local Station Board, nor about the conduct of the campaign. It is about
the national management of the Pacifica Foundation firing the National
Elections Supervisor in order to decertify the KPFK vote count in
