> Rob,
> When I spoke the Jayhawk Chapter a few years ago, I mentioned when the time came to purchase new voting equipment there would be an opportunity to interact with the potential vendors and test their equipment.  I would like to invite all of your members to attend an open display of the vendor’s equipment on April 4th, 2018 from 6-8 p.m. at the Flory Building on the Douglas County Fairgrounds.  There will be five vendors present, each who are submitting bids to Douglas County.  This is an open event with no formal presentations, so individuals are encouraged to come anytime between 6 and 8.  The vendors will have all of their precinct level devices set up and ready for use by the public.  Our office will be present to collect feedback on the equipment.
>  
> Please share this information with your members and anyone else who would be interested in this equipment.  The feedback on all of the equipment, but especially the accessible options, is very important to me.  There is a variety of technology available from the vendors and your opinions are essential for this decision.
>  
> Thank you and please contact me with any further questions,
