Gents -

Just wondering how the vote is progressing....

From the ALPA website, it shows the MEC has access to "how many people have voted", but not "how people voted".

I think the MEC are very smart people, and realize the folks who voted early, were most likely the most passionate voters, and most likely voted "No".

The "yes" voters and "fence sitters" took a little longer to vote or still have not decided.

If those generalziations are true, then the "volume" of voting will provide the MEC with insight on how the vote is going, regardless of wether they have access to the actual vote count.

Decreasing volume over time....LOA in trouble.

Increasing volume....LOA has a greater chance to pass.

I think it will be telling to see how many more hub turn mtgs and "...just get out and vote" e-mails we get from the MEC and mgt over the next week.

It simply ain't over until the fat lady sings.
