+== Results ==
+UPDATE: As of 4 PM on 10-31-19, a member discovered a section of the bylaws that disqualifies the Vote to Restructure the Board on the basis that the ballots were delivered and voting was only open for 7 days instead of the minimum of 20 days. The elections for the annual meeting will proceed as if the vote did not pass. The original voting structure was executed for the 2020 Board election vote held on 11/05/2019.
+Vote passed with 81.6% voting yes. (See update above - as of 11/4, vote did not pass.)
-== Results ==
