by I received this in an email from John Frazer just a few minutes ago. It is the unofficial (but almost official) order of finish. I have marked those on the NRA 2.0 ticket in bold. The official official results with vote totals will be announced at the Meeting of Members.
I don’t know who each side will be pushing for the 76th Director yet. When I know, I’ll post it.
The incorporation amendment was fairly noncontroversial once people understood it and passed with a 97% affirmative vote.

(* At Mr. Sigler’s request, his name will not be included on the 76th Director ballot.)
As an additional reminder, Board member Ken Blackwell has submitted his resignation, to take effect after the Board meeting on April 30 (and after the results of the 76th Director election are announced on April 26). After the Board meeting, Mr. Blackwell’s resignation will take effect and create a new vacancy. The top remaining runner-up from the mail ballot will complete the final year of Mr. Blackwell’s term.
SPECIAL BALLOT RESULT
Finally, the Board-recommended amendment to the certificate of incorporation (changing the NRA to a “non-charitable” not-for-profit corporation under New York law) was approved by a 97% to 3% margin.
For readers who may not follow, that means Sigler gets Blackwell’s seat which is why he didn’t want his name on the 76th ballot. He knows he’s getting a seat on the Board in advance even though the resignation isn’t effective yet.
He gets a seat without the hassle of campaigning again. The downside is he only serves for two and not three meetings.
John, an action item somebody needs to raise with the BOD once all you new members are seated from David Dell’Aquila:
“We verified the board email system does not work and will never work as long as Frazer is the secretary.
Apparently, corrupt Frazer must authorized any work, repair, etc. on the board email system because it specifically is in his domain as secretary and he refuses to authorize making the board email system functional!!!!”

John Sigler was a past NRA President. He’s had decades to do something, anything about reform, but never has. I don’t see how “only” serves for two and not three meetings is a “downside”. He shouldn’t serve at all.
And your endorsements of Lee and Porter… Did you forget their history? They’re the cabal!
Sad that all 28 didn’t get elected…
Agreed! Still I take comfort in knowing I placed ahead of three former NRA presidents plus an Olympic champion. Not bad for one of those evil and aggravating bloggers.
As I said over at NRA In Danger, not as good as hoped but better than expected. Now we start the work of getting petitions started to put the guys who didn’t get ashore on this Higgins Boat onto the next one… we have one more year to expand our beachhead and get Our Team on the BOD to run up a score before we have to start defending our seats.
And make no mistake, the LaPierre-Barr-Etc Cabal WILL come for us with a vengeance in 2027 unless we crush them first… THANK YOU to all who fought and still fight the good fight!
What can the rest of us do to help oer the year between elections?
Between elections you can start working with potential petition candidates to gather enough signatures to get them on the ballot. The window opens at the end of the Meeting of Members on Saturday, April 26th. The window closes according to the Bylaws 45 days after the Nominating Committee meets. I don’t know when that is set for but last year it was in August. The required number of signatures of voting members last time was 398. If what I’ve heard is correct and the voting turnout was lower this time, the number will be less.
Being nominated by petition, in my opinion, gives the candidate instant credibility. This is why I was insistent on being double nominated – by Nominating Committee and by petition.
How are people like Willes Lee and Jim Porter “reformers”? How many times did they vote to rehire WLP? Willes Lee did Cotton’s and Brewer’s bidding on the SLC, remember? He only got cold feet and whined on Facebook, just on the eve of the NY trial. Don’t forget he was also a V.P.
Where was Porter? He was a President. Where was he? He could’ve voted against WLP, spoken out, fought against Brewer… But what? He only spoke up last fall.
Did either of these two guys ever say “Sorry” to NRA members and ask for forgiveness? No. Yet, Mr. Richardson and other “reformers” would have us believe they are “reformers” and “good guys”. Bologna.
As far as Ken Blackwell, he was implicated in a money laundering scheme involving tax payer funds to anti gun groups. How embarrassing it’d be for the NRA to have a guy like that on the board, on the eve of a RICO trial. Small wonder he’s resigning quietly.
Blackwell’s mentioned, second to last paragraph,

Still got a lot of members on the board who allowed. WLP to defraud the organization for the last 25 years
Yes, and John Richardson endorsed two of them as “reformers” this year, Jim Porter and Willes Lee.
