I would have thought more VOID members would have voted. Without doing polling research, it is not possible to say why other members were not nominated, and why not even a majority of the nominees voted. Perhaps the most obvious explanations are: 1) no one wants to volunteer the hours and time the current Board of Directors has put in these last 2 years, and 2) appearing unchallenged, the outcome seemed to be a slam dunk and therefore did not require the time to vote.

What I can concretely say is this. The reelected Board members will work as hard and smart as they can to further the goals of Vote Out Incumbents Democracy. More, one cannot ask of volunteers.
