| The Election Committee
The USFA Summer Nationals Meetings/Seiminar Information
shows the Election committee meeting on July 4, 2008.
Interestingly no Time is given.
I wonder if this is just an organizing meeting for the committee or the actual counting of the ballots.
I suspect the latter.

| I heard in Vegas: actual counting o' de ballots is on the 4th. Independence from the BoD for some...indentured servitude for others.

| Give the revolutionistas about 10 minutes post-count to rally the troops by text message...whipping up a frenzied mob is much more efficient than it used to be.

| You've been overseas too much, Capt. Revolution via txt messaging happens in Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa. Americans insist on calling instead.
Maybe the new iPhone will include a "mass broadcast to the movement" feature. | |

| There was a time when we led the world in innovations. Now, I fear mightily for our children.

| Dude, we invented Lolcats. Compared to that, the selling of LiveJournal to the Russians is nothing. | |

Maybe the new iPhone will include a "mass broadcast to the movement" feature. | The rest of the world will probably be text messaging tournament results live while the US is still using a size 10 font and push pins. | |

| I have seen on the British forum parents who did not travel with their kids report they received scores by text message from said kids or comrades at world cups, so yeah, it's already happening. Though not perhaps how you had in mind. | |
