<br><br>ELECTORS<br><br>The following twenty-two persons were recognized as members of the Pacifica National Board with<br />
standing to vote.  They were sent electronic ballots and voting instructions by PNB Secretary Pro-Tem Grace<br />
Aaron:<br><br>Grace Aaron (KPFK), Robin Collier (KCEI), Chris C. Cory (KPFA), Vanessa Dixon-Briggs (WPFW), Lynden Foley<br />
(KPFT), Jan Goodman (KPFK), Heather Gray (WRFG), Sabrina Jacobs (KPFA), Wally James (KPFT), DeWayne Lark (KPFT), Ron<br />
Pinchback (WPFW), Ralph Poynter (WBAI), Sandra Rawline (KPFT), Lawrence Reyes (KPFK), Shawn Rhodes (WBAI), Eileen Rosin<br />
(WPFW), <br>James Sagurton (WBAI), Nancy Sorden (WPFW), Alex Steinberg (WBAI), Akio Tanaka (KPFA), Polina Vasiliev<br />
(KPFK), Tom Voorhees (KPFA).<br><br>Twenty-one Directors responded with valid ballots consolidating the three Officer<br />
elections, but a ballot will count as invalid in any individual contest where the voter did not rank any<br />
candidate.<br><br><br>BALLOT VARIANCES<br><br>Two ballots were sent to one ballot recipient and not the other.  Voters<br />
were contacted and re-submitted ballots prior to the deadline.<br><br><br>DIRECTOR COMPLAINTS<br><br>One Director<br />
complained that the placement of names on the ballot was confusing.  Perhaps this is because the ranking field for<br />
write-in candidates had no explanation or candidate name.  One Director misused this field and placed rankings to the<br />
right of candidate names rather than to the left, but corrected this mismarking by submitting a replacement ballot<br />
before the deadline. Future ballots should not include a ranking field for write-ins if more than one candidate name is<br />
present on a horizontal row.<br><br><br>WRITE-INS AND INCOMPLETE ELECTIONS<br><br>All write-in votes were for eligible<br />
persons.  No write-in candidates were elected.  No election was incomplete.<br><br><br>PUBLIC TALLY<br><br>Due to the<br />
novel coronavirus pandemic, the public tally was held online rather than in person.  Notice of the tally was posted on<br />
the Pacifica Monthly View only two days in advance, because a PNB meeting had been pre-scheduled for April 2.  The<br />
Public Tally occurred at 7:00 pm Pacific Time on April 1, 2020.  There were no ties to resolve.  Terry Goodman was<br />
connected as Remote Teller and Michael Novick was connected as Secondary Ballot Recipient.  Witnesses were remotely<br />
connected as Beth Kean, Lawrence Reyes, Paul Roberson, and DeWayne Lark, but witness identities were not<br />
confirmed.<br><br><br>BALLOT IDENTIFIERS<br><br>Each voter selected a code for their ballot, except that a code was<br />
assigned to one director who failed to select one.  The user codes are included (bracketed) in the ChoicePlus Pro input<br />
files for each election. Voters can confirm that their votes were properly recorded by examining these input files, as<br />
explained below.<br><br><br>BALLOT DATA FILES<br><br>The ChoicePlus Pro input files used in the remote tally of these<br />
elections are included in a zip file attached to this report, along with a Detail Report for each election.  Voters can<br />
confirm that the candidate ranking on their ballot matches that on the input files in reference to the four-letter<br />
candidate code assigned near the top of each input file.  For example, here is a truncated sample input file from a<br />
previous year's elections:<br><br># PNB Committee CPPro Configuration File<br>.TITLE 2017 PNB Coordinating Cmte - KPFA<br />
Director<br>.ELECT 1<br>.CONTEST "2017_PNB_Coord_KPFA"<br><br>.CANDIDATE CAMP, "Bill Campisi (WI)"<br>.CANDIDATE JACO,<br />
"Sabrina Jacobs (WI)"<br>.CANDIDATE TURN, "Andrea Turner-Dyson (WI)"<br><br>5) [80101] CAMP<br>9) [COSMO] JACO<br><br>We<br />
can tell from the above that there were three write-in candidates in the election for the KPFA Director seat on the PNB<br />
Coordinating Committee in 2017, that the vote on ballot 5 with user code 80101 went to Bill Campisi, and that the vote<br />
on ballot 9 with user code COSMO went to Sabrina Jacobs.<br><br>Terry Goodman, Teller
