29/47 It is never in order for a member to move for the reconsideration of a ballot on the petition of a candidate for initiation, nor for a lodge to entertain such a motion. The Master alone can, for reasons satisfactory to himself, order such a reconsideration. The Master cannot order a reconsideration on any subsequent night, nor on the same night, after any member, who was present and voted, has departed. The Grand Master cannot grant a dispensation for a reconsideration, nor in any other way interfere with the ballot. |
