AR-News: (US-ca) Losing group says Sierra Club election unfair

[Animalconcerns]

The group endorsed candidates, who some called a faction of
anti-immigration and militant animal rights activists.
...
A group called Club Members for an Honest Election said the landslide
victory of five candidates in the Sierra Club National Board of Directors
election was obtained through unfair campaign practices, and said it plans
to file a lawsuit to overturn the election.

The group consists of environmental activists and professionals, including
Marcia Hanscom from the Wetlands Action Network, Tim Hermach from the
Native Forest Council in Eugene, Ore. and Steve Bloom, and environmental
activist living in Oakland.
...
The 2004 Sierra Club election has been controversial and received a great
deal of media attention because of accusations that there were outside
anti-immigration and militant animal rights organizations trying to take
over the club by obtaining all five seats up for grabs.
