Recent history pegs the number of votes received at about 7% eligible. Yes, pretty sad especially considering as a voting block in public elections, #2A people are pretty consistent ... and that we spend so much time bitching about NRA board. So, yes, based on history of a pretty consistent 7%+/- a tad, apparently vote tabulators have a good estimate of the remaining number of votes ... and that they won't change the top, or bottom, vote getters. Hope this answers your question. Thanks.

Hope it is alright to weigh in w readers. For gunculture2pointo: it is a math thing, and service to give those 'on the bubble' a chance. When votes are tabulated it becomes obvious, from previous years, that a number, say the top 22, have enough votes to be elected regardless the remaining votes projected to be received by deadline, and once they are notified they are not restricted from saying so. Likewise, the bottom, say past #29 have no chance to be elected. Those six-seven on the bubble have a little less than a week to get voters to boost them into contention. I don't know stats of whether anything ever changes in that last 5-6 days. Hope this answers your query.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263990089128761733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-30030107445697430672017-04-05T09:36:05.760-04:002017-04-05T09:36:05.760-04:00I read somewhere while reading about the candidate...I read somewhere while reading about the candidates that the average turnout of votes in the NRA election is 1% of eligible members. 1%! That's really pretty sad. <br /><br />Could it be that their number or percentage of votes is so high that they don't expect enough votes to change it, based on that history? <br /> SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-75426412810500616652017-04-05T08:26:45.936-04:002017-04-05T08:26:45.936-04:00Excellent point.
