City Attorney Update from Last Night's City Commission - Report on Status of August 26th Election Problems


The City Attorney reviews the list of problems identified during the City Commission meeting last Friday night (9/5/14). He also reports that the Supervisor of Elections watched the meeting and "took umbrage" at the issues raised by the city. According to what we heard, the Supervisor of Elections office thinks the election was one of the "smoothest" in recent memory. There is still dialogue between the city and the supervisor's office regarding requests for information and the cost of retrieval. The $400 cost is considered high and the city wants to know how that amount came about. And the Supervisor of Elections says that poll-workers who were found trying to influence the vote will be terminated, if true.

Not very responsive, to say the least. And this report happened at the end of the City Commission meeting after I removed the camera from the tripod, so please forgive the camera movement. The content is what is important.
