ELECTION CHALLENGE:  2021 VENICE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL ELECTION
Some three decades ago, a highway patrol officer flagged me down for appearing to roll through a stop sign.  He that every citation given prevented seventeen traffic accidents.  It gave me food for thought during traffic school.
Such statistics apply to voting.  Without prior metrics, we can't know how many Venice stakeholders were deprived of their right to vote by the City Clerk's ballot application procedures.  The experiences catalogued in this transmission can be employed only as a starting point for producing a projection of how many Venice stakeholders were failed by the error-prone ballot application and submission procedure.  What existing data aggregation CAN do is affirm that the process was so flawed that it convinced even highly motivated stakeholders to abandon a process that caused them not to vote.   
The process failed the following Venice resident groups:
•    elder stakeholders
•    stakeholders without computer experience
•    stakeholders without computers 
•    stakeholders without cellphones
•    stakeholders without time to follow up on persistent digital portal failures
The process favored the following groups:
•    non-resident stakeholders who own Venice property 
•    non-resident stakeholders who run or work in Venice businesses 
Failures to send ballots to all eligible resident stakeholders deepens the de facto suppression of voting by Venice residents, whose current voter registration data is available in public records.  
As such, you must set aside this election's results and perfect - or, at the least, improve - the process so as to produce a trustworthy result from a second effort.
I look forward to your positive response and action.  Feel free to contact me with any questions at 310.800.3845 or by reply email.
Sincerely,

Jed Pauker

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.
