[Tall-Corn] Iowa Voting Issue Hot Line

[April Enderton]

Thought provoking question for today: With all the advancements in technology, why are we still having accessibility issues with voting? I feel that, in so many ways, we are sliding backward instead of moving forward. If anyone wants to discuss this with me further, I can be reached at alenderton at gmail.com

This I did a short time ago.
At first the young man I spoke with tried to shunt me back to my county 
auditor's office.  After he figured out that he was supposed to take my 
complaint he said he would forward it to the right place, which I am sure 
is the round file beneath his desk.
HE did offer me a ticket number however, which says that at least it will 
reach another desk before it reaches the round file.
I hope everyone else with these new machines had better results. 
Obviously my poll workers got zero orientation or training with them.
