Come to June 25 Commissioners' Meeting to See
that Election Problems Are Fixed for
November
On May 1 the
Election Reform Network testified before the Montgomery County Board of
Commissioners on the litany of problems we found at the polls on Primary Day,
April 22:
- Voters denied provisional ballots;
- Machines breaking down;
- Election judges failing to follow proper procedures;
- County staff providing wrong instructions to election judges;
- Polling places understaffed; and
- Untold numbers of frustrated voters and voter registration disputes.
The Network also issued a detailed report to
Montgomery
County, which included a
series of recommendations and some questions that need answers.
Now the County is
about to respond with its report.
Unfortunately, we can't depend upon the press to cover these most
fundamental issues, so if you possibly can, get involved and come to the Board
of Commissioners meeting on June 25. Make your presence felt in support of fair,
safe and solidly administered elections, the bedrock of our democratic future.
The meeting is at
9:30 am Wednesday, June 25 on the 8th floor of One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown,
opposite the Courthouse. Click here for
