by The unofficial election results for the NRA Board of Directors has been released. First, off no write-in candidate was elected meaning that neither Frank Tait nor Rocky Marshall gathered enough votes. Second, everyone who was nominated and didn’t drop out was elected to either three year or one year terms.
Three year terms in order of votes received:
Ronnie Barrett
Carrie Lightfoot
Wayne Anthony Ross
Carolyn Dodgen Meadows
Edie P. Fleeman
Owen Buz Mills
Jim Tomes
Don Saba
Bill Miller
Maria Heil
Donald J. Bradway
Robert J. Wos
William Bachenberg
Scott L. Bach
Kim Rhode
Craig Swartz
Joel Friedman
John C. Sigler
Janet D. Nyce
Niger Roy Innis
David G. Coy
John L. Cushman
David A. Keene
James L. Wallace
Dean Cain
For one year terms:

Antonio Hernandez

It is my understanding that there will not be an election for the 76th Director at the NRA Annual Meeting. The nominees for 76th Director are traditionally those who were on the ballot that did not get elected in the regular election. With everyone on the ballot being elected, I guess the argument is that there are no nominees for 76th Director. That said, Charlton Heston was elected as the 76th Director based upon being a right-in candidate. Somewhere along the way the bylaws got changed to remove this possibility.
An alternative explanation could be that Wayne’s trick of using expense-paid “volunteers” from the NRA Members’ Councils of California to campaign for his selected candidate has come to light. Not only was it exposed in the Gangster Capitalism podcast last year but it is now part of the New York Attorney General’s amended complaint (see paragraphs 311 and 312.)
It could also be that he has so many loyalists elected that he doesn’t need to waste our member’s dues to elect just one more.
