Concerns regarding BallotsCampaign Material IssuesElectioneering by candidatesObserver/Media Issues

I've found serious issues with my local election processes. I went there and tried to help the people through the process, I was quickly signed up and Glen was tentative but ok about signing me up, but everyone else quickly put the clipboard to sign in, in my hands. I helped everyone in line receive and correctly fill out the initial paper, answering questions and passing out clipboards to write on. After I had completed that task, I went back to the tables and asked to help the verification workers, as there was 5 sitting and one standing, pacing frantically around, trying to cut certain people through the line. I asked one worker how to verify people, and the pacing woman showed me a verification paper, a typed letter the voter had brought, and his ID, which revealed name and address that clearly matched. So I said, I approved, and advised him to get a ballot. But he was denied by the woman, and glen backed me out of from the area and said I wasn't welcome anymore. I witnessed more than 50 people being turned away in the short amount of time I observed and acted as a volunteer. a bunch of people got disenfranchised due to short hours of operation, lack of personnel, inefficient promotion and education about the issues, voting process, or candidates, a long and absurd line that sent more than 50 people away, but the director kicked me out for questioning and suggesting alternatives to dealing with the voting process and large crowd as a whole. I had heard through no media coverage that The election was settled by a difference of twenty. 
Their line was disenfranchising voters and deterring them from voting.
Why is there no pre-registration? Why was the election held in a small, busy parking lot on a common grocery day for working families, which was not suited to appropriately accommodate normal traffic to the polls AND to the business? 
There was a double speak of wanting volunteers while refusing help from a qualified and motivated individual. 
I also was witness to racially based disenfrichisment against the Armenian community based on lack of English proficiency. 
I feel that our voting process should always be at the convenience to the voter, and local governments first priority to their constituents is to provide fair and simple elections. A removal of current election committee personal and a full reform of the election process, with a full revote For the community. Moving forward we must adhere to the need to serve our constituents with fair, simple, and efficient election processes to ensure corruption free elections.

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.
