2010?"

With responses as follows:

Subject: Re: [ALAC-ExCom] [LAC-Discuss] Elections Process in LACRALO

No, I STRONGLY disagree and is unalterably opposed to re-run the elections.

The requirements for the election process were well advertised. The
candidates fulfilled all the requirements. Two candidates were duly
nominated. One candidate withdrew BEFORE the election.  That was his
unfettered right.  Where I come from, the last man standing is elected and
returned.

Alfa Redi exercised a right under the rules to call for a division.  I
personally believe that this position is not useful, especially in a
voluntary organization.  But I will defend to the end Alfa Redi's right to
invoke the rules and take it my DUTY to protect that right.

We shall have a vote.   Enough already!

Version Espanol:

No, estoy firmemente en desacuerdo y es inalterable frente a volver a
ejecutar las elecciones.

Los requisitos para el proceso electoral se anuncian así. Los candidatos
cumplen todos los requisitos. Dos candidatos fueron debidamente designados.
Uno de los candidatos se retira antes de las elecciones. Ese era su derecho
irrestricto. De donde yo vengo, el último hombre de pie es elegido y
regresó.

Alfa Redi ejercido un derecho en virtud de las normas de convocatoria de una
división. Personalmente, creo que esta posición no es útil, especialmente en
una organización voluntaria. Pero voy a defender hasta el final Alfa Redi
del derecho a invocar las normas y tener a mi deber de proteger a ese
derecho.

Tendremos una votación. Basta ya!
