<p class="MsoNormal">Ladies and gentlemen: As you know, this is a run-off voting day to decide who will be our next mayor and city council people.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Roger Erpelding and I keep hearing that some of you have had problems when going to your polling places, such as the polling workers not knowing about the machine we use to vote, the poll workers not aware that everyone—including sighted
people—can use these machines, and worst of all, the poll worker not knowing they have to enter an unlock code in the machine so we can vote.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you vote today, I would like to hear from any of you who have experienced any kind of voting issues as Roger and I, with the knowledge of our President, plan to meet with first the County Auditor and then the Secretary of State’s office.
For instance, did you know that one person had to wait an unbelievable 45 minutes before they could vote in the last election? And that was due to a machine problem. Totally unacceptable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can reach me at either <a href="mailto:m.barber817@gmail.com">
m.barber817@gmail.com</a> or at (515)284-1569. Please do so as we want to right these wrongs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks very much.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
