Tipsters who are not members of APA probably have not gotten
the memo that there is a new President (i.e., President Elect) of
APA.  Below is "boilerplate" from one of the divisional emails
I've received:

|Following are the number of votes each candidate received 
|in the order of finish and below is Dr. Bennett Johnson¹s 
|biographical statement.  The tally sheet will be made available 
|upon request.
|
|Suzanne Bennett Johnson, PhD            7662 votes
|Donald N. Bersoff, PhD, JD                      5264 votes
|Paul L. Craig, PhD                              3459 votes
|Robert ³Bob² H. Woody, PhD, ScD, JD     2553 votes
|Armand R. Cerbone, PhD                  1563 votes

A couple of notes:

(1)  Suzanne Johnson got her Ph.D. in clinical psychology at
SUNY-Stony Brook with K. Dan O'Leary.  Though I also
got my Ph.D. at Stony Brook (but in experimental) I believe
she preceded me and have no memory of ever meeting her.
I think I voted for her because Sue O'Leary sent alumni an
email in support of her election.  Johnson might be a positive
for science in APA.

(2)  I am amazed at how few members of APA voted.  The
sum of votes cast above is 20,501.  I don't know the exact
number of voting APA members but I do believe that it is over 
100K.  Voting was web-based this year in addition to paper
ballot.  I voted online because I couldn't be bothered to find
the paper ballot among my papers.

I wonder whether the nuimber of people voting is down from
previous years (as is the number of full members, see:
http://www.apa.org/monitor/2010/06/ceo.aspx ).
