Well folks, ballots are arriving in mailboxes now, and people are talking about them.

I'd very much like to thank everyone who has supported us this far in the election and sincerely hope that many of you will continue to support us now that the ballots have started arriving in mailboxes.

I've been asked by a few people about the ballots where the name on the first line of the ballot may either be ours or might be of our competition. So that everyone is aware, the way the ballots have been produced is a 50/50 split - half of the ballots will have the Blaser/Stimpson selection box on the first line, the other half will have the Plant/Rosenzweig selection box on the first line.

Please take the time to read your ballot carefully and make sure that you're casting your vote for the candidate that you have chosen to support.

In regards to our team's campaign, I feel that our team has come to the table well prepared, did our best to try and show people that we have STARFLEET's best interests in mind - not only from the business aspect but also from the fun aspect, and I'm proud of the way we've all represented ourselves to the members.

What was important to us was that we came prepared. We came with ideas of what we'd like to achieve during the three years that we would be STARFLEET's administration if we were selected by the members, we listened to suggestions, comments and questions of members who brought them to us, and we did give consideration to everything that was brought to us.

I think that we've had a pretty good election this time around in STARFLEET. It's been about the issues, both our team and our competition have conducted ourselves with grace and dignity and have kept the election from degenerating into a negative mud slinging event similar to what we've seen in the past, and the bulk of our supporters have joined us in that and haven't let themselves go down that path. For that, I'd like to thank each and every one of you.

Thanks for a good election season, and please do consider supporting our team in this election.
