Re: [ga] Ballot question - Public voting

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Joop and all assembly members,

  A good suggestion Joop.  However some members may not wish to
explain why they voted one way or another on a particular motion
or article or such a motion.  They should have that choice.

  Public voting on the current Motion is a departure form
the sacrosanct excepted practice of secret ballot.  There are
many good reasons why a persons vote should remain secret.
These reasons have been articulated on this forum on a
number of occasions (See archives).
