I remember planning for the elections meeting last year.  I couldn't
make it to that meeting myself, but it seems like it must have taken
45 minutes to count the ballots.  (Polls close at 3:45.  Meeting
adjourned at 5:15 after it was determined that 1 of the 5 director's
seats hadn't been filled.)

I agree with Vance's basic premise that the current system is
cumbersome and unwieldy.  If we do not amend the bylaws, we should
definitely come up with a better ballot and probably a better process
for the vote counters to use.
