[amsat-bb] 2018 Corrected AMSAT Board of Directors Ballots

[Gabriel Zeifman]

How unfortunate that our cash strapped, technology oriented organization is
having to waste so much money to print and mail two sets of paper ballots
to each and every member. Seems to me that electronic voting would save the
organization money, make voting more secure and efficient, prevent mishaps
such as this, and prevent some members from not receiving ballots like last
year.
