      I would also encourage the AMSAT-NA BOD to consider amending the bylaws,
regarding voting.

These all are good points and worth further discussion and debate. That
said, paper ballots are how it’s currently done. Reissuing the ballots, to
me, is the only logical way to protect the integrity of the election, for
now. May I suggest that we stay involved and help make the organization
grow.

Thank you Mike!
There is nothing wrong with online voting. Done it for years with great
success. The benefits far outweigh any risks.
