As the title reads, does anyone's name on ballot raise any red flags? Someone you simply cannot support, or find less than optimal?

I voted for Adam Kraut and only Adam Kraut.

I voted for only Adam Kraut, Tim Knight, and Julie Golob. Do not dilute your vote by guessing just to submit all the votes you're allowed.

Past Glenn Beck shenanigans aside, Grover Norquist remains a real stinker if you're looking for a name to avoid.

I am actually considering "bullet voting".

this is the list of people that Marion Hammer is supporting. Since I think she's one of the biggest problems in NRA today, I'd strongly think twice before choosing anyone on her list.

I think I've had enough of Ted Nugent.

Why Ronnie?

I voted for Adam Kraut and Duane Liptak Jr. Read Duane's bio in the voting package and check out his website.

We need Adam and Duane on our board. They will make a difference!

Why is Marion Hammer one of the biggest problems?

13. Duane Liptak, Jr., Austin, Texas

Vice President of Magpul. Might be worth it to consider voting for him.

No love for Pete Brownell? I hadn't heard of him, but read an article about him that was posted here yesterday. He has a 100% attendance record as well.

Pete's a good guy, but he's not on the ballot since his term expires in 2019.

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Once again the NRA is being threatened by the enemy within and I’m reaching out to ask for your help. Unfortunately, NRA Board elections provide opportunities for people with interests other than those of NRA, to make moves to disrupt NRA, our mission and our cause. That is happening now.

People who are on the NRA ballot for election to the NRA Board of Directors deserve close scrutiny by NRA voting members. Being on the ballot does not automatically mean a person is qualified to serve on the Board. Most of the people on the ballot were nominated by the NRA Nominating Committee in a deliberative process designed to evaluate the motives and qualifications of the candidates.

However, some of the candidates on this year’s ballot were not nominated by the Nominating Committee, but rather they placed themselves on the ballot by collecting petition signatures. Petition signers had no way of knowing the real motives or qualifications of these petitioners.

Read the names at the bottom of the link, Hammer is basically telling you anyone but other than who the NRA nominating committee proposes is a threat to the NRA, in other words business as usual.

In other words, any candidate that has grass roots support (that would be us), should not be on the board. She is saying we don't know the motives or qualifications of the petitioners (we do). Adam Kraut and Tim Knight were nominated by member petition (Tim was also nominated by the nominating committee). These are the two I voted for. I also voted for Duane Liptak because of his work with Tim on the Colorado recall elections and his involvement with moving Magpul from Colorado to Texas and Wyoming.

Thanks for the explanations, guys.
