Spencer Admits His Mistake … Sorta

Larry Spencer (Coeur d’Alene Press comments section): ” I went to talk to Dan English about the military voter I had questions about, and the election office seems to have followed the directions from the Secretary of State, and correctly registered the former Post Falls resident using Dan Englishs office address. The serviceman did own a home in Post Falls, and sold it in 2006, so he did reside in the area. My question is why the Secretary of State would direct that people who did not live in CdA in the past, but in Post Falls, vote in the CdA city elections. It seems to me that if a person moves away to go to school or serve in the armed forces, and in so doing they retain their right to vote here, they should still vote in the city they lived in rather than the city the clerks office is in.”

Dan English: “And thank you for acknowledging the correction Spencer. He is registered at this address per directions from the Secretary of State for these types of situations and has been an active voter since at least 2002.
