Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) has already had all of its votes turned in on the shareholder issues up for a vote.  We have been (painfully) listening to the live webcast of this shareholder meeting since 10:00 AM EST.  The company has given its confidence and its opinion in defense of the Countrywide and Merrill Lynch acquisitions, but the total votes to be tallied are still being counted. The woman who was set to announce the results of the vote has said that more time is required to count and tally up the votes.  The results of the vote for or against Ken Lewis and the other shareholder issues will now be issued in the form of a press release.
