Re: Theos-World TS Election Results - USA


Perhaps, not so much malaise as a message to the Patriarchs? I decided not to
vote because I felt that to vote for either of them would be to vote for the
demise of our Society at this time. Since Radha is the incumbent anyway, and
would have gotten most of the Indian and therefore most of the vote anyway, she
would have remained as president and I would not have to vote for a lesser
person. Since I am in the US, and was urged to vote for Algeo I was in a
quandary, so I decided not to cast a vote. I am a chicken-theosophist?

Subject: Theos-World TS Election Results - USA






Anton took the trouble of reporting the breakdown of the election results so
that we do not have to wait for the print media to report them. (I wish the
Section took the initiative to do it.)

What is surprising is that in USA, less than 50% of eligible members voted
and this seems to show the general malaise in the country since even in the
Presidential elections very low percentage of the voters take the trouble to
vote.

Just wanted to point out the fact.

U.S.A.
Eligible Voters - 2,757

Total Voted - 1,234
Algeo - 968

Radha - 253

Invalid - 13

Any comments?

In the analysis Anton has posted, the voting % in India is much higher than the rest of the world put together. Obviously, Indians were motivated to cast their...

You are very perceptive. When the membership distribution facts are very obvious, I am wondering why there was an attempt by some of the national leaders to...
