NRA Voting Guide?

Post by lawrnk »

So I'm a relatively new member of the NRA (couple years) and am not familiar with many of the candidates. Obviously voting for Selleck and Chas, but I'd like to vote against the Director who was ok with magazine limitations, and anyone else who is not a good director. Has anyone compiled a cheat sheet of who are the best to vote for?

So I've been gone a month from this forum for a month for work. Looking forward to getting back on here.

To qualify to vote, you either have to be a life member or an annual member for five consecutive years.

Did you sign up on the recent promotion?

There's no way to vote 'against' anyone the way it's set up.

Your votes actually have more impact the fewer candidates you vote for.

Voting for someone that you don't have convictions about could be the vote that pushes that candidate ahead of Charles.

Yes, life member. So I should limit my vote only to Selleck and Chas?

I'm just saying vote for only those that you know about and want to elect.

Do not feel the need to cast 26 votes.

I have never voted a "full" ballot but I've usually been able to find at least 5-10 candidates I know good things about.

Ironic that I've been a voting member for several years, but I don't get a ballot the year I upgrade to life. :totap:

:iagree: The voting deadline nears.

Do not randomly cast your votes. Mike has it right: Vote only for those you want to elect.

One of my three votes was for Charles Cotton. Your mileage may vary, but I'd campaign for this guy...even if he decided to run for Governor of Texas.

Think about it, Charles. :smile:
