I agree Lorraine. Your page does meet the requirement and you and

should be able to vote. It seems that those overseeing the vote are
assuming the copyright and current year must be the copyright year. As I
brought this up before and this is not how the OHGENWEB Guidelines read
and if one wants to enforce the copyright year to be the current year
then the guidelines would need to be changed. Since we are not going to
do that anytime soon, we must adhere to the guidelines as they are
currently written.
I know this is not much help and won't change the outcome of the vote
but I will not vote until this is rectified and those with copyright
information and the current year posted on their main page also be
allowed to vote. I urge everyone else to do the same. This has nothing
to do with Dale but if our guidelines can be misinterpreted by those who
are supposed to be versed in this type of thing we need to take control
back over this election. It was nice of someone from outside the state
to offer to oversee the election but if they are using their own flawed
judgment to keep people from voting, remove them. I don't remember
having any say in their stepping in. I would have appreciated having the
right to say thanks but no thanks. Just another reason we really need to
tighten up our guidelines.
