VOTE for lead host here!

[yardwork]

This discussion thread was locked by yardwork (a host of the Feminists group).

When I was a little kid, my mom always took me with her to vote. The League of Women Voters ran the polls. My mother explained to me that women had not always been allowed to vote, and that the efforts of some very brave women had changed those laws. To this day my mother never misses an election, and neither do I.

We are voting now for a new lead host of the Feminism Group. We have one nomination - Gormy Cuss. Please cast your votes in the poll. I am happy to cast my vote for Gormy Cuss!

Doh! That is, Tuesday afternoon crowd.

[kdmorris]

7. Wow... we are a chatty group today

Back to the top with you! (by the way, yardwork, you could sticky this)

[yardwork]

8. I could pin it, but Skinner always says that unpinned threads get more attention.

So I thought I'd let it bob up and down, helped along by friendly kicks!

9. I saw the thread with all the names that were running for host

and would vote for any of them! All would make awesome hosts imo! And you know, for ALL the drama this group has been through I am proud to say it has no BLOCKED members.

Something to think about.

[yardwork]

10. I'm not sure which thread you mean. We only had one nomination for host.

If others had nominated themselves their names would appear in this poll.

We have no blocked members, as you say. All are welcome here, as noted in the SoP at the top.

[Gormy Cuss]

16. There was discussion of other potential candidates in that thread.

I'm guessing that's what Rex is referencing.

[yardwork]

17. Probably. I just wanted to clarify that we would never drop a nomination.

If other people had nominated themselves to run, then their names would have appeared on this poll.

Editing to add a link to the Nominations thread, which was open for a week: http://www.democraticunderground.com/11397040

I think that there would have been numerous other nominations if you or a few others had not run, Gormy! The fact is that the community is united around you.

I'm going to resign in anticipation of GC winning the poll. It will make the transition a snap.

[yardwork]

29. Well alright then!

Let's give a big round of applause to maddezmom for being a wonderful co-host during this two-week transition. It was a tough job but maddezmom was up to the challenge!

[maddezmom]

[obamanut2012]

30. Aren't you counting your chickens a bit too soon???

[maddezmom]

32. ha

[Starry Messenger]

33. Hey, what time is it ending?

I forgot to ask when and what time it will be in my time zone. I don't want to miss the big moment!

[Gormy Cuss]

34. 6:30 in my time zone. n/t

[maddezmom]

35. 9:30 pm EST

but for me 8:30 pm. there is a little countdown clock on top of the poll. 2 hours and 22 minutes as I type this.

[Starry Messenger]

36. Oops, didn't notice the countdown!

That's handy. This is like watching the ball drop on New Years. 6:30 in my time zone too!

[yardwork]

37. It's exactly like watching the ball drop! I'm counting down the minutes now!

[maddezmom]

38. 5 minutes left

I'm thinking about breaking out some Champagne!

[yardwork]

39. Voting is complete, and Gormy Cuss has been elected the lead host of the Feminism group!

Congratulations!
