House of Deputies
It was a long morning of voting with the Rev. Nina Ranadive Pooley, voting secretary, leading the deputies through what she and the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings called “Voting Camp.” Ranadive Pooley first led deputies in some experimental votes so that they could get used to the system. Among other trial votes, the deputies voted in favor of ice cream. To practice electing a certain number of candidates out of a longer list, they also elected five animals to head into Noah’s ark, leaving eight behind. Pandas, bears, elephants, buffalos and moose avoided the flood. Alligators, armadillos, coyotes, crabs, huskies, puffins, lions and walruses did not.
