Cold weather won't stop election or voters
Things going smoothly at polls so far

UPDATE: 12:51 PM, Tuesday, February 6, 2007

Today’s frigid isn’t slowing down poll workers or keeping area voting machines from firing up on time.
Jeanette Mullane, deputy director of the Stark County Board of Elections, said poll workers were contacted yesterday and told to bring the voting machines into their homes instead of leaving them in their cars to keep them warm and avoid any potential cold-weather problems with the equipment. Mullane said the machines were up and running on time this morning, “and I think that was a good thing.”

Mullane said no real problems have been reported at polling places around the county.

“A couple hours ago some of the precincts were slow and others in Plain Township ... were active for a special election,” she said. “Everything seems to be running smoothly. We’re hardly getting any phone calls of complaints or problems.”

Three school issues and a township fire levy are on Stark County ballots for a special election today, and voters in Carroll County also have a say on a Carrollton school levy.

3. That's a keeper article ... Isn't the Canton Rep a RW (or leaning that way?)

I remember quite a few RWers hoping and praying that the (LIBERAL! - EEK!) Akron Beacon Journal would be bought out by the Canton Rep ...

And now they have proof in the article that the poll workers were told to take the machines home with them!!!

6. Doing the daily thread in my spare minutes today so I have

not had a chance to pursue this. Thank you Ohio Folks and others for the info. Vote this up so the general DU readership sees how casually the weather is used as a basis for lax security of our voting machines. Hey it's just democracy at stake... This may not be a really significant election but it goes to precedent for the next ones!
