Not sure why you bring this up, other than it's a new talking point to discredit our democratic norms.
... discredit our democratic norms ... please!

Talking point ...you mean like what you just stated!

Since Wiki is quoted, than quote it more accurately to reality:
A democratic republic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance

The board of directors initiated this second bylaw change, not "the people".

Quote:
democracy decided we should add broadband to our cooperative
No it didn't!
Maybe you don't understand what you voted for.

These bylaw changes give NHEC the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to federal, state, and local funding opportunities. The changes will also allow NHEC’s Board of Directors to enter into strategic partnerships and evaluate the best organizational structure to meet the goal of ensuring members have access to the broadband service they need.

... ensuring members have access to the broadband service they need.
And how are they going to determine that? I deserve at least gigabit speed!

Notice that the directors not "the people" will decide new ventures. Difference between democracy and elected officials.

Hopefully, the directors will choose a venture that will be "co- .... operative" with providing electricity, without causing consumer monetary damage, and not think that stringing fiber cable on poles will be the end-all.
