Anyone else not receive their BOD ballot for the election?
I'd have contacted our well paid staff. info@amsat.org bounces from the webpage.
No ballot yet. Did receive the mag, so the database has the correct address.
Don't want to miss my opportunity to exercise governance.
Wonder why this happened.
Spent 5 years as the Secretary Treasurer of a labor union. Teamsters sent me to school so that I might learn all about governing, governance and regulations.
Elections can be nullified by irregularities. Loss of 501c3?

Norm,
I received my ballot, voted, and returned it. Perhaps yours was lost in the mail? The USPS is not a reliable, guaranteed vehicle for information, unless that ballot was sent via Registered Mail.
I'd ask, nicely, if someone still has the ballot and would be kind enough to send you a copy to cast your vote on.
Rational action before lighting up AMSAT with threats? Probably a good thing.

Waiting for my ballot, which I paid for.
Expecting a response from my elected officals, not the peanut gallery. Then again, what more could I expect.

We're just trying to help Norm by suggesting some other possibilities. by any chance have you had your mail forwarded to the World Wide Headquarters in Echo Mary Fifty Five? Sometimes the USPS treats things like postcards differently when it comes to forwarding. Also, my kid sometimes brings the mail in and has a tendency to drop small parcels in the bushes behind the PVC, where they hide until someone goes in after them. Did you check in your bushes behind the PVC? I'll keep thinking on some other possibilities. I'm sure it was nothing malicious.

Norm,
You sent an email to a group, the "peanut gallery" if you will. You got a response from the group. You're absolutely correct, what more did you expect? Have you contacted elected officials directly? This seems like the logical thing to do if you didn't want a response from anyone else. Also, maybe next time you'll consider leaving out past qualifications followed by what can be considered as threats if you don't want a reaction out of the community.
Furthermore, have you even considered that it might have simply been lost in the mail, I've heard this happens with QSLs too. I got my ballot but also got someone's mail a couple days ago as well, things getting lost in transit is not that far fetched.
