Now that the canvass of Northampton County's 2023 municipal election is complete, the Elections Comm'n is poised to meet today at 3 pm in the courthouse cafeteria (lower level). The main purpose of this meeting is for board members to certify the election results to the state. This is a ministerial task and is actually what triggers possible election challenges.
The five members of the elections commission are selected by the Executive and confirmed by County Council from a list of five nominees submitted by the two political parties who received the highest number of votes in the most recent general election. They serve for two years.
The current elections commission consists of Chair Sharon Gavin-Levy, Daniel Lopresti, Margie DeRenzis, Scott Hough and Vicki Evert. Their terms all expire at the end of this year.
Before the tally is certified, the public will be afforded an opportunity to weigh in and recount their experience at the most recent election.
In addition to certifying the results, the elections commission will receive a report from Registrar Chris Commini. I am told that representatives from ES&S, vendor of the Express Vote XL voting system, will be on hand to explain what happened.
Given that so many members of the public are upset by the fiasco on Election Day, I imagine the meeting will be packed.
Following the vote certification, a statistical audit of thye November 7 election will take place on Friday, November 24, at 10 am, in Room 1211 on the first floor of the county courthouse.
Doesn't matter what they do or say. You will continue to defend the county's terrible troika. Dertinger messed this up but now you love the guy. Maybe he will get you a lunch.
ReplyDeleteThe executive has explained that there's nothing to see. He says those who voted, had their votes counted. He hasn't even acknowledged this blog's assertion, based on the testimony of many, that people were sent home, having been potentially disenfranchised. But there's nothing to see. Additionally, if there IS something to see, it's someone else's fault who is not part of the administration. Seems reasonable. Bloggers and dissenters, go away. You're rocking the boat and embarrassing the administration. That's unAmerican or something ....
ReplyDeleteI think this should be easy for the commission. A simple no vote should be sufficient and a call for a re-election would be the right decision. That would be my stance if on that board.
ReplyDeleteI am curious how many mail in ballots were sent out? How many were sent back? But most importantly what is the rejection rate of the mail in ballots?
ReplyDeleteHopefully, after the results get certified today, Aaroe will take all of her signs down.
