Election Reform in Montco

From the inbox:

On May 1 the Election Reform Network testified before the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners on what we found at the polls on Primary Day, April 22:

* Voters denied provisional ballots;
* Machines breaking down;
* Election judges failing to follow proper procedures;
* County staff providing wrong instructions to election judges;
* Polling places understaffed; and
* Untold numbers of frustrated voters and voter registration disputes.

The Network also issued a detailed report to Montgomery County , which included a series of recommendations and some questions that need answers.

Now the County is about to respond with its report. The meeting is at 9:30 am Wednesday, June 25 on the 8th floor of One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown , opposite the Courthouse.
