The latest race for a seat on SAG-AFTRA’s national board has been decided by the narrowest possible margin: In Colorado, Nancy Flanagan has defeated longtime incumbent Sheila Ivy Traister by a single vote, 71-70.
Traister has served on the national board since 2012, and her defeat is something of a setback for the union’s ruling Unite for Strength party, which had backed her. Flanagan, an independent who didn’t have the official backing of either of the union’s factions, said in her campaign statement that she “would be a fresh voice” in the board room. But Ufs, even though they backed her rival, says they consider her an “ally,” and that her tweets and retweets of messages of support for Ufs candidates and positions show that she is.
Only 143 of the Colorado local’s 600 eligible members cast ballots, meaning that 457 members didn’t vote.
This is the second...
