Comments on: Shareholder approval of Yahoo board plunges on vote recount

A corrected vote tally reveals dissatisfaction with Yahoo board members is much greater than thought after Friday's shareholder meeting.

Yahoo's board is clueless. This company will never be worth more than $25 a share.

Are you kidding me?
So Jerry Yang and his cohorts are either fraudulent, or they can't even count sharholder votes or hire someone who can count. Any of the above looks bad for Yahoo management, and makes them look even more foolish then before.

It wasn't Yahoo who didn't count properly. It was two major shareholder groups who sent the wrong numbers to Yahoo on how their clients had voted.

Another Yahoo! is a joke company point of evidence comes to see the light of day!

Icahn's probably wondering if he made the right move now knowing that right off the bat 1/3 of the people wanted to public voice that they were unhappy with Jerry, Roy and Ronald. when a 1/3 of your voters withhold their vote for their CEO... how is it possible that they can get the support they need to effectively run their business?

Easy to see how this happened; taking information from multiple sources and aggregating it together on a server is complex; there are only a few companies in the world that are great at it. Oh wait, Yahoo's one of them... Maybe next year they'll have Google run their voting infrastructure.

LOL - I like that - good comment!

based on the first offical count they said that the vote was a show that they had the confidence of the shareholders. and that they stood by that count

yet here it shows that not only confidence is lower then last year
(side note a third party counts the votes not the board)
