[quote="Cranbury Conservative"]If you’re interested I have put an anonymous simple yes / no poll for the PNC purchase on my Blog located at .... http://cranburyconservative.blogspot.com The poll is on the left hand side of the page. I thought it would be fun to see how many people voted in this un-scientific and as stated earlier anonymous pole. Enjoy![/quote]

I don't know the exact # but I believe about 100 would do it. It has to be related to something the TC can take action on. And it has to get approved to be put on at least 60 days before the election it will be attached to. <br /> <br />However, Win Cody suggested in his remarks that some other towns have organized less official main ballots. I would think even a private organization could do this without any regulations or resstrictions because it is unofficial, and therefore could be done much more quickly. It would have none of the assurances that it there was no fruad, etc., but does that really matter? If you have only 1,000 voters and some private party manages to get our mailing list (or a close approximate of it) and gets 600 signatures back identified with individual addresses, since it is non-binding that would still be a pretty powerful message.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, May 20 2008, 1:30 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: ONLINE VOTE on the purchase of the PNC BANK for 1.3mil plus renovations/expe</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I did appreciate Ms Stave notifying the community that a referendum could be placed on any issue; such as the PNC purchase.

To avoid any stuffing of the ballot and for auditing purposes I required the resident to submit his address. <br /> <br />The polling questions are very valid and I even allowed anyone to add their own comment to the vote. Sometime a YES/NO is not enough info and I'm sorry you feel the polling questions are invalid but show me what polling item was inaccurate. Was there too much data on the ballot for you? or would you rather vote with a simple Y/N not knowing the consequences of your vote? or what you are exactly supporting - I would rather have it spelled out clearly and thats what I tried to do with this poll. <br /> <br />So the RESULTS were clear. The voice of cranbury was unanimous and all voted NO and against the purchase of the PNC. Its all auditable and avail if anyone has questions on the results.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cranbury Conservative</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, May 19 2008, 11:04 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: ONLINE VOTE on the purchase of the PNC BANK for 1.3mil plus renovations/expe</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Well the final votes are in for my unscientific and anonymous pole... <br /> <br />Should Cranbury Purchase the PNC Property? <br /> <br />YES 7 (29%) <br /> <br />NO 17 (70%) <br /> <br />Votes so far: 24 <br />Poll closed <br /> <br /><a href="http://cranburyconservative.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://cranburyconservative.blogspot.com</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cranbury Conservative</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, May 12 2008, 6:18 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: ONLINE VOTE on the purchase of the PNC BANK for 1.3mil plus renovations/expe</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">If you’re interested I have put an anonymous simple yes / no poll for the PNC purchase on my Blog located at .... <br /> <br /><a href="http://cranburyconservative.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://cranburyconservative.blogspot.com</a> <br /> <br />The poll is on the left hand side of the page. <br /> <br />I thought it would be fun to see how many people voted in this un-scientific and as stated earlier anonymous pole. <br /> <br />Enjoy!</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>James</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, May 12 2008, 3:09 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: ONLINE VOTE on the purchase of the PNC BANK for 1.3mil plus renovations/expe</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">You can find the members emails at <a href="http://cranburytownship.org/twp_committee.html" target="_blank">http://cranburytownship.org/twp_committee.html</a> <br /> <br />I emailed all of them and Mr. Wittman acknowledged receipt of my email.
