Eligibility of Voter
1.    Many people received stakeholder ballots when there was no real evidence that they were stakeholders or even minimally eligible The Venice Chamber of Commerce, short term rental landlords, and restaurants were openly handing out letters purporting to describe people as employees or holders of a community interest when they were neither.  

2.    Although the VNC has historically had one of the highest rates of citizen participation, this year there was 40% increase in “voters”.  This statistically unlikely increase is due in large measure the influx of purported employees with nothing more than a form letter attesting to their “employment”.

3. There are other serious problems with the voter accreditation/registration process but we cannot tell specifically what those are yet as we have been given less than 4 days to analyze 2,700 registration forms, and DONE did not change them the way they said they would, to add the name of the employer, which is causing us to have to take even more time to research. DONE did not follow through with its promises, and we should not be prejudiced by the fact that DONE did not do what it said it would do.

4.    Observers noted many “voters” who claimed to work in Venice but could not say where or for whom they worked.

5.    Perversely, voters who are homeowners, voters with professional offices in Venice, and voters who work as journalists for Venice-based publications were either denied ballots altogether or were relegated to “community interest” ballots.  

6.    DONE has impeded challenger’s ability to furnish supporting evidence by insisting upon an artificially foreshortened time period in which to assert challenges, even though this challenge requires analysis of over 2,700 registration sheets.
A new election with proper accreditation of voters.

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.

We're glad you're interested in doing more with Quickbase!
