Losers always claim rigged elections.They always seem to refuse to accept when the members reject them. Apparently the Alan "chicken little" Lamb and the United Slate is coming up with another conspiracy theory to explain their pending election loss. They are accusing the Members First Slate of "stealing" the election because their candidate mailing was not sent to the same number of members that were mailed ballots. They are implying that the Members First Slate mailing that was sent to the entire membership was sent to a larger group of members than theirs. The United Slate is asking their supporters to come to the union meeting tomorrow to accuse Randy Brown and the Members First Slate of "stealing" the election.To save their (small) group of supporters the trip and to save the rest of us from having our annual Christmas luncheon from be disrupted by their shenanigans, here is a quick summary of the TRUE facts:
1. All three slates mailers that were mailed to all Local 728 members were sent to a smaller number of members than ballots that were mailed out because mailing houses are required to run addresses through a national database of address changes and remove undeliverable mail pieces.This resulted in less election campaign mail pieces being sent than ballots. The reason for this is that Local 728 is required by the Local bylaws to mail ballots to every single member at their last known mailing address so the Local 728 election committee instructed the mailing house to send ballots to all addresses regardless of whether or not they appeared as bad addresses.
2. The Members First Slate did four mailings to Local 728 members. Three targetted mailings and one mailing to the entire membership.The Members First Slate membership- wide mailing was mailed to the exact same number of members and on the exact same day as the United Slate using the exact same membership list.We know the United Slate's numbers because they have made them public in the course of their conspiracy mongering. Mike Drummond's slate did the membership-wide mailing at a later date.
It is silly to think that one of the most reputable mailing houses in metro Atlanta would risk their reputation to conspire with a candidate to rig a mailing. If the United Slate chooses to pursue this waste of members dues money with yet another bogus protest, the Members First Slate with present all evidence necessary to expose them for the desperate , paranoid, LOSERS they are.
