[NFBMO] Requesting Your Valuable Help

[Stan Magoon]

Shelia,

In case Erin does not see this...she votes absentee and we have not had any issues whatsoever. The ballot arrives weeks before and I read it to her and mark her preferences. We then drive her to the Clerk’s office and she turns it in.

Hope that helps!

Joy!
Lynda
