**Affirmed position.** Governance Through Voting reports that directors at firms experiencing major environmental and social incidents receive 9.8 percent more negative shareholder votes. This supplies an empirical example of the director-election control available to traditional shareholders in Kaal's contrast with ICO investors. The abstract does not examine ICOs or establish that dissent alone changes firm conduct.
