I tried Yahoo, Firefox, and finally went back to Internet Explorer and the web site came up on first try. ML (Blackrock) you need to specify what browser to use to make this eballot work correctly. Have a good day. Frustrating!!!!

I know a lot of people share your concerns. I have received emails from investors and noticed a lot of people trying to find out about investorconnect.com and investoreconnect.com by seaching for more information, and then ending up here. My suggestion to anyone concerned about the process is to contact the companies who stock you own and tell them that they should post their annual meeting materials on a website their shareholders are familiar with, such as their corporate websites, and then provide links from those materials to the voting site. I also urge anyone who has difficulty using the online materials to contact their companies. Of course, you can also leave a comment here and you can be sure it will be read by people who have the power to do something about it. Alice,

I feel like I have been deceived and mislead. It just re-enforced my feeling of distrust using the internet for anything personal. Thank you for your comments.

I went to the correct site and when it didn't work, I went to the co. site, nothing there, then to the spam sites mentioned above. Back to the correct site only to be told again I have an invalid #.

The control numbers should only be required to vote, not to access the materials to make an informed vote. As for Broadridge and how well known it is, most shareholders won't know, or care, who Broadridge is. Even if they said they were formerly part of ADP, it wouldn't make much difference. It's not like ADP is a household name either. Notice how even people who know, or should know, almost always refer to Broadridge as "formerly part of ADP." Mike,
