I demand that you REJECT reducing the number of precincts and increasing the number of people per precinct. Precincts are an essential part of our election system, one that ensures greater transparency and integrity in our elections -- don't combine them. Also, REJECT the establishment of electronic poll books. Rather than digitalizing our elections, we must return to paper, which provides the greatest transparency and security for our elections. Jurisdictions that count votes in large counting facilities are the slowest, most inefficient, and inaccurate in posting the results. Such poor vote-counting damages public confidence in elections, and even the integrity of the elections themselves. The same is true with electronic voting machines. It's been shown over and over again that government closest to the people works better than when it's "one-size-fits-all." It's no different with precincts. Rather than decreasing the number of precincts, you must increase their number, and there should be fewer people in them (no more than 1,250 per precinct). And rather than adopting electronic poll books, return completely to paper.

I would like to express my concerns regarding Voting Centers and Electronic Poll Books. I strongly urge you to vote no on both issues. To reduce voting polls to establish voting centers is to suppress the vote. This action will discourage voting citizens from participation as these voting centers would create a greater distance from where one lives to cast their vote. It will increase the number of people having to enter in the same location. Votes ought to be counted in the areas in which voters live. I also disagree with electronic poll books and, for that matter, electronic voting machines. Electronic devices can be tampered with or hacked. There is no accountability as to what happens on the other side of a computer screen. Voting information may not be accurately stored or recorded as entered into the electronic system. These actions open this area up to a lot more opportunity for fraud. Election Integrity is of the upmost of importance otherwise we have no republic and we have only the illusion of freedom. I again strongly urge you to vote no on voting centers and vote no on electronic poll books.
