Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In a response to 2 appeals, we further studied the voided ballots in the 10/24/14 election.  Our findings were as follows:

• 7 ballots received with no member identification

• 1 ballot received from a nonmember

• 16 ballots received after the 10/23/14 deadline

• 3 ballots with markings on the ballot

Upon review of the CWA election procedures, we confirmed the lack of member identification and the late arrival of ballots to remain void.  However we do have a partial overruling on the 3 ballots with markings on the ballot.  The entire ballot is no longer void, but rather the vote that was mismarked.  Corrections are as follows:

• Ballot 1:   Presidential-void for markings, Secretary/Treasurer-void for markings, Business Agent CX&M – Eugene Plachecki

• Ballot 2:  Presidential – void for dual vote, Secretary /Treasurer – Robert Milone

• Ballot 3:  Presidential – void for markings, Secretary/Treasurer –Robert Milone, Business Agent I&M - Edward Mercado

Therefore the revised election results are as follows:

The Office of President:

                Anthony Caprara              12

                John Buchan                      99

                Dennis Leahy                     76

The Office of Vice President:

                Todd Kelsey      

The Office of Secretary Treasurer:

                Robert Milone                   91

                Ken Kinsley                         97

Business Agent I&M:

                Edward Mercado             34

                John Horan                         38

Business Agent CX&M:

                Eugene Plachecki             48

                Mike McQuade                 14

Business Agent: C.O., Specials, VZB, and Non-Verizon Interconnects:

                Danny Caprara

We hope this addresses any concern of the membership in regard to the 10/23/14 election.
