Barry, since two people have reported the issue would you happen to have a phone number of someone who could help?
@PSUFTG2
I’m sure it’s all just a misunderstanding.
I got the email. I clicked on the link. It took me right to the ballot (no intermediate step). I voted. Done deal. Took about a minute. Or less.
So, I see a BOT ad on this page with Short, Wagman, and Nassib campaigning together. Click the link and it takes you to:

Letter to the Editor in today's Centre Daily Times:
WILL PENN STATE TRUSTEES STEP UP, MAKE HARD DECISIONS?
This is a perilous time for Penn State. We face a $100 million budget deficit, our University Park student yield is the lowest in the Big 10 while our tuition is the highest. Will our board step up and make some hard decisions?
Hardly, 21 of our current 36 trustees with, collectively, 3,705 career voting opportunities, have never recorded a no vote on any issue. Not on tuition increases, new buildings, personnel contracts, not on anything! A quintessential “rubber-stamp!”
An exception is Alumni Trustee Barry Fenchak voting no 37% of the time, always asking for details, benchmarks and alternatives. More Barrys are needed in our upcoming alumni election. Soon, the board will vote to approve a $700 million bond, the largest in our history, to refit Beaver Stadium. Will 2025 witness a new stadium along with campus closures?
Now a new problem has arrived. Our new provost is leaving after 10 months on the job. In my view, looking for a new job only months after appointment is a disservice to our university, especially in this tumultuous time of budget restructuring. Looking forward, however, I am hopeful that our rank-and-file faculty and staff can step up and join with our President to overcome this leadership void.
And would not our whole university community and alumni embrace a return to an earlier time when Penn State was a cherished destination for aspiring leaders and a $500,000 annual retention bonus for a football coach was unthinkable?

Here is a write-up about Al Soyster, the author of the article above ^^^

I received that message as well but then I reviewed my information. I had typed quickly and entered an incorrect birthdate. After correction, I was able to vote. Be certain all of your information is accurate.
By the way, to the extent anyone cares, I voted for just 2 candidates. McGloin and de Levie.
Disagree with him all you want (I do). But Brandon Short is a racist? What did I miss?
Yeah, I don’t follow Short enough to be able to comment on anything like that, but I do hope most alumni have finally learned to look deeper than ‘Hey, X is a former Penn State athlete (football, soccer, whatever) so they get my vote’.
If you honestly want to be better informed, so that you can come to more substantive conclusions:

The Trevor Project is a worthwhile charity and Nassib has donated $100k to it. During his second appearance on the draft stage he reiterated his gospel to the draftees to save their money.
I recommend voting for him as a means of ousting Short and Wagman. He can't be any worse.
Not a problem. When it comes to Short, "derp" has broader application. In any case, thought that replying to your post was a good opportunity to put in a plug for Nassib. Hope I do not come to regret it.
Thanks, Reaper, for the assurance.
Already taken care of prior to reading your post....

Crap. I voted for two former players. Probably says a lot that most of our Alumni elected trustee candidates are former football players or athletes and not those accomplished in business, academia, government, etc.
True Story: James “Jim” Beam, as a student at Penn State College many years ago, began making his famous bourbon in his dorm room. Soon thereafter, his eponymous bourbon became a local favorite drink, on and off campus. Recognizing this great accomplishment and his success in business, Penn State later renamed his dorm Beam Hall.
