WPFW Local Election Supervisor Lydia Harris determined that the Listener Sponsor election has failed to meet Quorum.

Pacifica Bylaws Article Three Section 7 provides that "For the purpose of any election or written ballot, a quorum of the Listener Sponsor Members shall be ten percent (10%) of those Listener Sponsor Members entitled to vote on the matter as of the applicable record date." 

WPFW membership of approximately 13,500 Listener Sponsors required return of 1350 ballots.  Only about 1050 were returned. 

                The results of this five-round vote count are officially certified by the National Elections Supervisor, Casey Peters, as of February 7, 2008. 

On January 24, 2008, the two-month-old injunction on conduction the WBAI vote count

was lifted by the judge in part 23 of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.
