| How often are the elections? Sloan says nobody has run since 1999? Elections
are only every six years?

| USCF Executive Board elections are normally every two years.
Resignations can result in having them more often, which is why there
was a special election in 2004 which elected Randy Bauer, and Elizabeth
Shaughnessy for one year terms. This election is a "normal" election.
Best regards,
George John

That is not what I wrote. I wrote that therew were many good
candidates who ran in 1999, were defeated and never ran again.
There were 17 candidates that year, a star-studded group. Among those
defeated were Arthur Bisguier, Ralph Bowman, Robert Tanner and Tom
Dorsch. Unfortunately, those who were elected turned out to be very
bad. Tim Redman and Doris Barry and Jim Pechac were all especially
bad.
There have been several elections since then.
