"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

whether we extend the voting period in this announcement or later if needed.

Yes. Let's cut down on the confusion and extend it through the weekend. That is through Sunday night until it hits midnight and becomes Monday.

whether we change the wording on #4 to Lyra's.

I think that's fine.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Thanks for keeping track of all this, Sophia. You already earned your medal a longtime ago, but you're still like the class secretary.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

OK, draft ballot is here: [link]

Can a couple people try it out? Right now it sends the email to me, but I'll change it in a bit once I'm convinced it's working correctly.

Thanks for all the fish.

Insent, Jon... This doesn't count as my actual vote, right?

I tried it out too. It is lovely! I hate to make more work for you, but should it tell me my vote has been submitted?

Insent, Jon...

Got it.

This doesn't count as my actual vote, right?

Absolutely not. I won't be getting the actual emails. I'm just testing the system. Did you get a copy of your ballot, and was it correct?
