NorCo Elections Comm'n to Meet Thursday

A notice that the Northampton County Elections Commission plans to meet tomorrow at noon has been advertised in The Express Times. Here's what it says.

LEGAL NOTICE Election Commission Meeting is to be held on Thursday, April 2, 2015 at 12:00pm at Election Division 670 Wolf Ave., Easton PA 18042.

The Notice advertised does not bother to inform the reader that it is the Northampton County Elections Commission, nor does it state why they are meeting. Hopefully, it is to discuss having County personnel move the elections machines instead of the private carrier currently in use. I believe this notice is legally insufficient, which will happen ehen you have a solicitor unfamiliar with municipal law.

  8. 10:46, You need to rephrase your comment if you want it to stand, or identify yourself.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
