ADA/Curbside voting compliance
The location had no signs clearly posted for curbside voting. There were no election representatives directly in view of the curbside. The location had no parking available, as all parking spaces were full. The election location was deep into the interior of the building, down a long corridor, with no view of the curbside. The location had an Observer named Mr. Box. When notified that people were not able to vote because of no parking available, Mr. Box commented: "Well, we have curbside voting." When told that curbside voting was limited to persons with disabilities pursuant to the federal ADA law, Mr. Box did not care. There were several "curbside voting" ballots claimed for this election, and NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE that the voters had any disabilities recognized under the ADA. 
    In addition, in regard to ADA accommodations, there were NO alternatives given to persons with communication disabilities of vision, hearing or speech at the election location, and many such persons were barred from voting online, due to the suspension of online voting by Empower LA for a long period of time, which caused MANY persons with disabilities, who could not go to the Election Site, great difficulties in voting in this election. MANY attempted several times to vote online, only to receive multiple messages over several days that the voting was suspended, with no indication of when the online biting would be restored, and MANY gave up and did not vote in this election, especially persons with communication disabilities.
A new Election, accessible to all persons with disabilities, and online voting without any "suspensions" interfering with the online voting process. 

NOTE: The Witness designated below has NO VOICE TELEPHONE NUMBER due to total deafness and speech disability, and there is no ability to "scan and upload" his Witness Statement, as requested below. There is no FILL-IN FORM for Witness Statements available from EmpowerLA/DONE. 
   NOTE2: THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING THIS FORM STATE "TO SUBMIT, PLEASE CLICK SAVE ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER." THE LINK BUTTON ON THE "TOP RIGHT CORNER" SAYS "CANCEL"! AND THE TWO LINKS TO THE LEFT OF "CANCEL" ARE UNREADABLE ON IPHONES DUE TO THE VERY DARK GREEN BACKGROUND THAT OBSCURES THE LETTERS. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION ARE INCORRECT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE EMPOWERLA/DONE WANTS ALL CHALLENGES TO ELECTIONS TO BE CANCELLED.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
