Vote to protect votes
Paraphrasing Josef Stalin: “I don’t care who the people vote for; I care who counts the vote.” Papers, TV, radio and the Internet constantly report voting irregularities. Most voters have no idea how ballots are handled – an average of 10 times before being counted and stored. Even more, if they need to be duplicated. Voter signatures are read individually. Technology could do it accurately and fast, like banks do, saving money.
The 16-year incumbent wants four more years. You have a choice to vote wisely for Alene Lindstrand. She originated a voter education flier and takes them directly to voters at their door or gives talks at meetings because she’s passionate about voter knowledge.
Imagine the incumbent knocking on doors, ever. She doesn’t seem to care about your vote, its accuracy or security. She just talks about loving her job, as if that’s reason enough to vote for her.
Lindstrand stepped up and wants to serve through increased customer service. She will correct inefficiencies in recording and will conduct the first independent election audit. She will keep printing jobs local, will address military ballot concerns, and will work for true transparency and accountability.
