[00:00:03]
AWFUL 15 MINUTES TRYING TO TEST THE MIND, BUT WHAT WE TO DO AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE ALMOST EVERYTHING, UM, BACK UP TO THE SCIENCE HERE.
I'M NOT SURE IF THIS ALL WORK THE WAY WE HAD A PLAN, BUT WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AS IT IS.
SO WE, THE ONGOING TO NOW, UM, HAVE, UM, BOARD CHAIR COME AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND, UM, FOR OPENING STATEMENTS, PLEASE RISE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
UM, SO THE PURPOSE OF US BEING HERE TODAY AND THANK YOU FOR ALL BEING TOGETHER AND GET ON THE SAME PAGE, AS FAR AS OUR BOARD OPERATIONS FOR THE BOARD OF VOTER REGISTRATION.
UM, SOME OF THAT INCLUDES OUR DUTIES OF THE BOARD.
WHAT IS REQUIRED OF US BOTH DURING THE ELECTION AND NOT DURING ELECTION.
AND THEN THERE WILL ALSO BE AN ELECTION WASH UP AND THE CHANCE FOR ALL OUR OPINIONS ON THINGS THAT MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE MY SHIFT TEAMS, THINGS THAT WE ARE NOT DOING AND JUST KIND OF WORK TOGETHER.
SO THAT AS A BOARD, WE ARE ONE CLEAR VOICE.
SO BEING HERE TODAY, AND WITH THAT, I'LL HAND IT BACK OVER TO MARIE, OKAY.
AMBER IS GOING TO BE LIKE RUNNER TODAY.
SO IF YOU NEED TO SAY SOMETHING, WE ALL BE RECORDED, UM, BEING BROADCAST ON FACEBOOK.
SO WE GIVE YOU ONGOING YOUTUBE, YOUTUBE, YOU ARE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING OF, AND SO AMBER, PAM, UM, THAT YOU HAVE THE MIC AND YOU WILL BE HEARD.
SO WHY DON'T WE GET THIS MORNING? I THINK WE ALL MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT VISION OF WHY WE SHOULD COME TOGETHER AT BEFORE.
AND, UM, WE HAVE SOME OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS HERE, BUT, UM, WE DON'T HAVE EVERYBODY, BUT CHRIS WILL BE REPRESENTING THIS MATH AND THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE PRETTY MUCH GIVE US A BRIEFING ON THAT.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A NEW BOARD FROM A REGIONAL BOARD THAT WE FIRST STARTED WITH AND, YOU KNOW, EVERY NOW AND THEN I THINK THE LAST WORKSHOP WE DID IN 2018 AND, UH, WE HAD NEW MEMBERS COME ON.
AND WHAT WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO DO IS STOP JELLING AS A BOARD, WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
AND I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT THAT THE OFFICE AND THE BOARD OF TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES, EVEN THOUGH THEY KIND OF OFF, BUT YOU'LL DO THESE AND ONTO THESE MIRROR OF IT.
SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO TODAY IS LET'S GO OVER.
IS THAT ME? YEAH, IT'S LESS GO OVER.
UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AS A BOARD, AND THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN BECAUSE OF THE ATMOSPHERE OF OUR COUNTRY AND HOW WE, AND I'LL SAY, WHAT WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO IS BE BETTER THAN THE REST.
AND WE, FOR YEARS, BUFORD COUNTY HAS CARRIED THE BANNER SO FAR, IT'S FULL SO FAR AS ELECTIONS ARE CONCERNED TO HAVE STELLAR ELECTIONS.
AND, UH, OF COURSE WE HAVE A LOCAL IMAGE ON OUR RECORD NOW, BUT WE CAN OVERCOME THAT.
AND, UM, BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND INTO A T WHAT OUR RESPONSIBILITIES.
SO PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS, UM, SO THAT WE CAN, UM, TRY TO ADDRESS THEM.
AND WE MISSING CELL PHONES SO THAT WE CAN BETTER REPRESENT US IN THE PUBLIC.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
WE NEED TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGH WHERE WE CAN, UM, PROVIDE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS THAT ARE TRUE.
[00:05:01]
TO KNOW.AND IF WE DON'T KNOW, OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE ANSWERS THAT REALLY, REALLY NEEDED.
SO WE PUT TOGETHER, AND THIS IS VERY SKETCHY, BUT THESE ARE BASIC POINTS THAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
AND I KNOW WE HAVE A COUPLE OF NEW MEMBERS HERE, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
IF THIS IS GOING TO BENEFIT, THE NEW MEMBERS GETS CALLED HALSALL ARE LONG TIME MEMBERS.
SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALIGNED WITH TO DISCUSS TODAY, WE GOT ON LOOK AT OH, YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE EVERYBODY TO THEMSELVES? LET'S DO THAT.
AND SAY THE AREAS, YOU KNOW, WE REPRESENT YOU FOR COUNTY, BUT WE ALSO REPRESENT CERTAIN AREAS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SELECTING FULL MANAGERS, UM, AND, UH, WORKING ON ELECTION DAY.
SO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT, BUT WOULD YOU STAND, IF YOU CAN SO SLOW THAT CAMERA CAN SEE YOU AND WHAT AREAS DO YOU DO REPRESENT ON ELECTION DAY? AND SO DEFINITELY
AND MY NAME IS AMBER BLACK STAFF IN BEAVER COUNTY.
AND I WORK WITH CHRIS MURRAY AS WELL AS WINDOW AND TRAINING AND OUTREACH COURTNEY GOOD MORNING.
UM, I'M CHRIS, I'M THE VOTER REGISTRATION MANAGER AND I'VE WORKED WITH MURRAY AND WINDOW AND HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH AMBER, CHRIS, YOU KNOW, ME, I AM WINDOW ROPES AND I'M THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR.
NO OTHER STAFF MEMBERS WALKING IN RIGHT NOW, VERNON CAMP, UM, THE IT SYSTEM ELECTION SYSTEMS MANAGER, ADMIN ACCOUNTABLE, 15 YEARS, AND PROGRAMMING, ELECTIONS AND ELECTIONS.
SO WE DON'T TALK TODAY, UM, BRIEFLY ABOUT SOME OF THEM DO THESE OTHER BOY.
WE GOT TO SUMMARIZE WHAT THE OFFICE DOES.
AND, UM, CHRIS IS GOING TO PRESENT THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO MENTIONED THE ISSUES AND HOW WE CAN ADDRESS AND HANDLE THOSE ISSUES THAT WERE GOING ON AT THE LAUNCH.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LUNCH BREAK, AND THEN WE KIND OF TALK ABOUT THE FACILITIES UPDATED, UM, WHERE WE ARE SO FAR AS POLLING PLACES AND, UM, OFFICE EXPANSION PLAN.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF HOPE WORKERS.
UM, WE GOT TO THEN TALK ABOUT,
[00:10:03]
YOU GOT TO TALK ABOUT SOME, UM, VOTING EQUIPMENT PREPARATION AND VERONICA WILL BE PRESENTING THAT, GIVING YOU A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE WORK WITH ON ELECTION DAY AND PRIOR TO ELECTION AFTER ELECTION.UM, AND THEN WE WILL GO TO HAVE, UH, AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE 20, 22, UM, PRIMARIES AND RUN OFF HOTWASH.
AND, UM, THAT'S JUST US TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE SAW HAPPENED ON ELECTION DAY.
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, THAT, UM, WITH MEDICINE, WHAT CAN WE DO TO CORRECT SOME OF THOSE ISSUES THAT WE SAW, ALL THE ENCOUNTER AND JUST WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN REFERENCE TO WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE ELECTIONS BETTER IN BUFORD COUNTY.
SO I'M GOING TO START OFF THE PRESENTATION, UM, WHEN THE DUTIES OF THE BOARD, AND FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SHOW YOU WHAT OUR MISSION IS.
THIS IS OUR MISSION, THE MISSION OF EACH COUNTY BOARD.
AND THAT'S NOT JUST A BEAUTIFUL COUNTY.
THAT'S ALL OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTIES, UM, IS TO ENSURE EVERY ELIGIBLE CITIZEN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER, TO VOTE AND PARTICIPATE IN FAIR AND IMPARTIAL ELECTIONS WITH THE ASSURANCE THAT EVERY VOTE WILL COUNT.
AND THIS IS THE MISSION THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED IN BUFORD COUNTY.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A POT OF OPERATIONAL MANUAL.
THIS IS A POT OF WHAT WE'D SHARE WITH THE ENTIRE COUNTY SO FAR AS GOALS.
AND THIS IS HOW WE ARE SET UP BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HOW WE OPERATE, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF US.
WHY DID WE DO THE THINGS WE DO THOSE TYPE THINGS, BUT THIS IS HOW IT WORKS.
THIS BOARD IS WHAT WE CALL A WORKING BOARD.
YOU GUYS DON'T JUST SHOW UP AT BOARD MEETINGS AND, AND DO WHAT YOU DO, BUT THIS IS OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE.
KNOWING THAT YOUR POSITION YOU ARE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR UPON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION.
I DO NOT IN PHYSICAL TERM REPORT TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, I REPORT DIRECTLY TO YOU.
SO I AM ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU AND THAT NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD, UM, BECAUSE THEY ARE, THERE ARE A LOT OF CONFUSION AS TO MY DEPARTMENT.
WE WORK AS A BOARD, OUR DEPARTMENT, OR OUR DIVISION IS A PART OF YOU.
WE DON'T REALLY OPERATE INDIVIDUALLY.
NOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF INDIVIDUAL THINGS THAT WE DO, BUT WHEN WE DO IT, WE DO IT AS YOU.
SO WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE OPERATE AND WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IN ELECTIONS IS DEALT WITH, BY STATE LAWS OR FEDERAL LAWS.
WE DON'T MAKE THESE THINGS UP.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE CHAIN OF COMMAND NOTICE FROM ME.
A WINDOW IS LIKE THEY HAVE TO BE AMBER REPORTS TO ME.
AND SO DOES CHRIS, THESE ARE THE THREE PEOPLE THAT REPORTS DIRECTLY TO ME AND UNDERWEAR.
NO, WE HAVE VERNON WHO IS THE IT MANAGER.
UM, AND HE HAS TWO PEOPLE WORKING WITH HIM.
AND UNDER CHRISTINA, SHE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SATELLITE OFFICE, UM, AND THE ELECTION AND VOTER REGISTRATION AND COLLECTION TECHNICIANS.
AND IT WOULD BE, I GUESS, IDEAL.
AND I KNOW SOMETIMES YOU HAVE QUESTIONS THAT I CAN'T ANSWER, BUT FLOAT INFORMATION FROM THE BOARD SHOULD COME TO ME, FLOWING INFORMATION.
IF YOU NEED SOMETHING DONE, OR IF YOU NEED TO GET A PROJECT THAT THEY SHOULD COME TO ME.
AND I WILL FARM THAT OUT BASED ON WHAT THE SITUATION IS.
AND THAT IS SO THAT WE CAN ALL BE IN THE LOOP AND WE WILL ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON INSTEAD OF, AND I'M NOT SAYING THIS TO, TO, TO SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THAT PERSON.
SOMETIMES I, I'M NOT AT MY OFFICE.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THAT'S FINE.
[00:15:01]
WHY WE HAVE HAVEN'T.THE AVENUE DEFINITELY IS NOT IN PLACE THAT WE HAVE CHRIS, BECAUSE THEY REPORT TO ME AND THAT INFORMATION WILL BE CIRCULATED BACK TO ME SO THAT I CAN BE IN THE LOOP.
IF I WILL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AT ALL TIMES, ARE YOU GOING TO FULFILL THAT POSITION? WE, IN THE PROCESS OF DOING IT RIGHT NOW, THE QUESTION WAS, ARE WE GOING TO FILL OUT A VACANT POSITION? YES.
THE POSITION THAT WE HAVE VACANT BECAME VACANT, UM, RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO, AND IT WAS NOT AN OPPORTUNE TIME FOR IT TO BE BECAUSE WE NEEDED EVERYBODY WE COULD GET, BUT OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED ITSELF.
AND SO WE, THE ONLY THING WE COULD DO WAS LET THAT HOUSE, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
WHAT IS ON THE CHAIN OF COMMAND? SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT YOU DON'T WORK FOR THE COUNTY, THAT YOU WORKED WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND I, I GET THE BOARDING CONDITION CONSTRUCT, BUT YOU HAVE FUNDING STREAMS AND OVERSIGHT TO THE COUNTY.
YES, WE WILL TALK ABOUT, OKAY, THAT'S KIND OF A MISNOMER.
THAT'S KIND OF DECEIVING TO THINK THAT WE'RE AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION, THAT DOESN'T REPORT TO ANYONE EXCEPT FOR SCC, BECAUSE WE DO REPORT TO THE COUNTY THEY'RE FUNDING.
THAT'S A SEPARATE ENTITY FUNDING, AS LEGISLATED IS THROUGH THE COUNTY.
THE COUNTY IS THEY PROVIDE OFF BUDGETS OPERATE, BUT I REPORT TO YOU GUYS, ACTUALLY, JEAN, NO, I DIDN'T.
I SAID I DON'T REPORT TO THE CABINET MINISTRY.
AND THAT'S SOMETIMES WHEN WE HAVE ISSUES GOING ON, I MEAN, WE COLLABORATE AND WE HAVE A LIAISON BETWEEN BUS AND THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR JUST AS YOU HAVE, MY DEPARTMENT HAVE, UM, ARE THE LIAISON BETWEEN US AND THE ADMINISTRATOR.
AND YOU HAVE A LIAISON BETWEEN YOU AND COUNTY COUNCIL.
UM, COUNTY COUNCIL, UM, DOES APPROVE OUR BUDGET, BUT YOU GO THROUGH THE SAME COUNTY BUDGET PROCESS AS EVERY OTHER COUNTY, WHICH IS WHAT'S REQUIRED BY LAW.
SO IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE SEPARATING OURSELVES FROM THE ACADEMY.
WE DON'T, ALL STAFF MEMBERS ALL COUNT.
ALL OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE COUNTY BENEFITS.
THEY FOLLOW ALL COUNTY POLICIES AND EVERYTHING.
IT'S JUST THAT IF SOMETHING GOES BY RIDE, THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE.
YOU ARE, YOU KNOW, LIKE, LIKE SAY, UM, PUBLIC WORKS OR SOMETHING.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH COMPANY WORKS OR IN PUBLIC WORKS, THEY GOING TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR.
YOU KNOW, IF I GO TO THE CAMPUS MINISTRY OR SOMEBODY CALLED THE COUNTY, I MEAN, IT'S STRAIGHT ON ME.
YOU KNOW, WHEN HE'S SAYING CALL THE BOY, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE RELATIONSHIPS, BUT I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT JUST SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T THINK WE'RE SEPARATE FROM, WE ARE NOT SEPARATED FROM THE COUNTY.
BUT IF YOU LOOK ON ONE OF THE COUNTIES, UM, UH, ORGANIZATION, CHALK, YOU GOING TO SEE US OUT THERE, US AND THE VETERANS OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY, THEY DON'T CONNECT US UP UNDER THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR.
UM, YOU WANT US TO BE DIFFERENT THAN MINE SO SHE CAN, SO YOU JUST SAID YOU WANT US TO COME DIRECTLY TO YOU AND NOT TO LINDELL OR IN CHILD COMMUNICATION.
SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN HANDLE INTERNALLY.
IF I NEED WINDOW, IF I HAVE TO COME TO YOU FIRST, AND THEN THAT'S THE IDEAL FORM.
UM, SAY, IF YOU PUMPING ABOUT CO-WORKERS OKAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, WINDOW HANDLE FOR, SO YOU CAN GO BACK TO WINDOW FOR POLL WORKERS WITH THEM.
DON'T TELL ME WHAT THE DEAL IS ON THAT WAY.
BUT IF YOU HAVE ISSUES ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON, INSTEAD OF CALLING THE EMPLOYEE DIRECTLY OR ADDRESSING THEM DIRECTLY ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT YOU MAY HAVE, THAT'S WHEN YOU NEED TO COME TO ME, I THINK BECAUSE
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED CONCERNING EMPLOYEE, PLEASE DON'T ADDRESS THAT.
I THINK THAT SHOULD BE STAYED.
WELL, IF WE DON'T SAY IT, THEN WE CAN'T ASSUME HE'S INSANE.
I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
SO WHAT WE TRIED TO DO TODAY IS BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW
[00:20:01]
WE OPERATE AND YEAH, I'LL BE, I DON'T NEED YOU TO CALL ME FOR EVERY ISSUE.I JUST NEED YOU TO TELL ME ABOUT ISSUES THAT CANNOT BE, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S A BODILY EMPLOYEE, ESPECIALLY, OR IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE HEARING OUT THERE IN THE STREET ABOUT ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES, THEN THAT'S NOT GOOD.
AND THEN THERE'S THE TWO THAT YOU SAID SUCH A, SUCH A, SUCH A SUCH DON'T DO THAT.
COME TO ME AND LET ME DO THE INVESTIGATION.
WE HAVE A NINE MEMBER BOARD AND ALL OF YOU ARE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR AND THE GOVERNOR, UM, REQUIRES CERTAIN THINGS OF YOU.
UM, YOU WILL SERVE A FOUR YEAR TERM UNLESS YOU DECIDE THAT ELECTION IS NOT WHAT YOU THOUGHT.
WELL, I, FOR A SIGNED UP FOR POSITION AND YOU QUIT.
AND IF YOU QUIT, IT'S GOING TO LEAVE A VACANCY.
AND THEN THE GOVERNOR WILL HAVE TO APPOINT SOMEONE ELSE.
UM, IF SOMEONE IS FEELING, YOU KNOW, UNEXPLAINED OF TERMS PUT UP TO TWO YEARS AFTER THAT FIRST MAJOR ELECTION, YOUR TERM IS STILL GOING ON.
SO SOMEONE WILL NEED TO COME IN AND FEEL THAT VACANCY.
AND THEN YOUR TERM, IF YOU APPOINTED AND AFTER THAT ORIGINAL PERSONAL TERM ENDS, AND THEN YOU CAN, UM, REALLY, UH, ALL REQUEST TO BE REAPPOINTED.
AND ALL OF THAT HAS TO STILL BE DONE BY THE GOVERNOR.
EVERYBODY TERMS SHOULD BE EXPIRING IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.
I KNOW THAT MAY BE EVEN BETTER, STILL SHOWING UP AS MARCH, BUT WE'LL OFFICIALLY DO SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE OF DECEMBER ONE, I BELIEVE ABOUT FOUR YEARS FROM THE TIME YOU WERE APPOINTED, UM, YOU BE LIKE YOUR OWN CHAIR OF THE BOARD, RIGHT? UM, YOU ALSO DO LIKE, UM, OTHER POSITIONS, LIKE IF YOU'RE A TREASURER AND SOMETIMES THE CHIEF CAN JUST APPOINT SOMEBODY AND YOU CAN JUST APPOINT SOMEBODY JUST SUPER, YOU CAN APPOINT PEOPLE ON COMMITTEES, BUT, UM, BUT YOU CAN ALSO LOOK LIKE ON THE OFFICE.
THERE IS LIKE YOUR SECRETARY AND, UM, WE DON'T HAVE A TREASURER.
AND BASICALLY, UM, YOU GUYS, LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, HIRES ME, WELL, MY POSITION IN MY POSITION, UM, YOU MUST ATTEND, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT.
YOU MUST ATTEND SCHEDULE MEETINGS.
I KEEP TELLING HIM TO STOP SIGNALS TERMS. THAT'S ABSOLUTE LIKE HERE BECAUSE OF, YEAH, THAT'S REQUIRED.
IT'S NOT THAT YOU HAVE AN OPTION.
UM, IF YOU MISSED THREE CONSECUTIVE SCHEDULED LEAVE, YOU COULD BE OFF THE BOARD.
NOW, TYPICALLY THERE ARE REASONS WHY YOU MISSING MEETINGS AND IF THEY ARE ALL OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, BUT KNOW THAT WHEN YOU DO NOT ATTEND THREE SCHEDULED MEETINGS, THAT YOUR APPOINTMENT COULD BE IN GENERAL.
AND ON THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS THAT, UM, YOUR 18 MONTHS REQUIREMENT GET CERTIFIED.
NOW, IF THERE ARE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OR THE CHAIR PERSON OF THE BOARD CAN, UM, TALK WITH THE GOVERNOR OFFICE AND TRY TO GET AN EXTENSION BECAUSE OF WHATEVER THAT THOSE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE.
BUT GUESS WHAT? ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU ALL HAVE TO DO, YOU DO GET THANKFUL.
AND I JUST KNOW YOU CAN'T WAIT EVERY QUARTER TO GET YOUR SITE.
AND NOT JUST YOU GUYS, I KNOW, UM, UH, I SAY THIS TO THE CALL MANAGERS AS WELL.
YOU DON'T DO THIS THE TIME THAT YOU DIDN'T FAST, ANY ELECTION IS, UM, WE CAN REALLY CAN'T PAY FOR IT.
IS THIS A FULL-TIME JOB, RIGHT? THOSE OF YOU WHO WORK REAL, REAL HARD AND ALL YOU CAN DO, IT'S A FULL-TIME JOB.
AND SO THE STIPENDS THAT TO DO THAT, IT'S NOT SUFFICIENT, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.
BELIEVE THAT YOU, IN THIS ROLE, BECAUSE OF THE MONEY I MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT WE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM, THE OFFICE STAFF AND THE BOARD SHOULD WORK TOGETHER ASSETS.
THAT'S HOW WE ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT WE NEED TO ACCOMPLISH AND FULFILL OUR
[00:25:01]
MISSION.NOW, IF YOU LOOK UNDER THE STATUTE, WHICH I DID WRITE DOWN, THEY WILL TELL YOU, THESE ARE YOUR DUTIES.
NOW TELL ME IF YOU DO THESE THINGS, DETERMINE THE QUALIFICATION OF ALL VOTER REGISTRATION, AFRICANS YOU DO.
THE OFFICE STAFF DOES IT ON YOUR BEHALF.
SO YOU DO DO IT CONDUCT CANDIDATE FILING, BUT YOU DO, YOU SAID NO, BUT YOU DO.
THAT'S WHAT THE OFFICE STAFF IS.
WE CONDUCT CANDIDATE FILING ON YOUR BEHALF.
SO AS THE EARLY VOTING CENTER, OUR OFFICE, SO AS THE EARLY VOTING CENTER IN ALL ELECTIONS, BEFORE IT WAS CONSIDERED AN ABSENCE OF CENTER LOCATION, BUT NOW IT'S EARLY VOTING.
THAT'S WHAT THE JOHN DROUGHT OFFICE IS ABOUT.
THE SIGNATURES FROM PETITIONS OF CANDIDATES AND NEW POLITICAL PARTIES.
DO YOU DO THAT? YOU DO, YOU DO DO THAT.
MATTER OF FACT, WE JUST DID SOME FOR YOU FOR THE
SO, UM, MAINTAIN VOTER REGISTRATION RECORDS.
Y'ALL HEARD THE INFAMOUS,
A LITTLE REGISTRATION RECORDS, UM, FILES, BUT FRIENDS IS, UM, THE SYSTEM, ALL THE VOTER REGISTRATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS WHAT WE USE IN THAT PROCESS AND HELP MANAGE ALL FILE FOLDERS.
WE MAINTAIN STREET FILES, DISTRICT AND PRECINCT ASSIGNMENTS.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE JUST GOT THROUGH UPDATING THE DISTRICT INFORMATION FOR THE TOWN OF HILTON.
DID YOU GUYS
UM, YOU WALK INTO THESE COMMUNITIES AND, UM, YOU ARE OUT THERE LOOKING, I KNOW, GO RIDE ON SATURDAYS JUST TO SEE WHAT NEW BUILDING IS UP THERE.
THAT WE MAY BE ALLOWED OR ABLE TO USE THAT A POLLING PLACE.
OH, I JUST SAW A NEW CHURCH OUT THERE.
IF WE CAN CONTACT THAT CHURCH TO SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE A POLLING PLACE, YOU KNOW, SO WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR EYES OPEN ALL THE TIME.
WE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF FOLDING LOCATIONS.
AND WE'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT, LIKE RECRUIT AND TRAIN POLL MANAGERS.
I KNOW YOU GUYS RECRUIT THEM AND GUESS WHAT? YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAINING THEM AS WELL.
AND YOU DO THAT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HOW AND THE CLEAN OUR REGISTRATION AND MOVE INTO THAT, HOW WE GET DEAD PEOPLE MOVE PEOPLE OFF.
SO YOU HEAR A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT OTHER ELECTION BOARDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT ARE TOTALLY OUT OF WHACK.
THEY'VE GOT 200 OR MORE PEOPLE ON THEIR ROLES THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE ON THE GROUP.
THE WHOLE REGISTRATION ROLE IS, UM, AND THEN WE MAINTAIN THE ROLE, THE VOTER REGISTRATION ROLE UNDER THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION, WHICH IS, I GUESS OUR CURRENT ENTITY FOR THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN PLACE THAT THAT DICTATES HOW A POLL MANAGER, HOW A PHOTO GET OFF THE ROAD.
THE BEST WAY IS WHEN THE VOTER HAS SENT US A LETTER OR CALL US, THEY'LL ACTUALLY LEAVING A SENTENCE, A LETTER OR SOMETHING TO SAY, I AM MOVING AND I NEED TO CANCEL MY VOTER REGISTRATION.
BUT DOES THAT USUALLY HAPPEN? A COUPLE OF THEM, WE GOT EMAILS.
UM, LET'S SAY WE GOT PEOPLE DO SAY THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO CANCEL IT.
VOTER REGISTRATION, UM, RECORD YOU FOR CANADA BECAUSE THEY LEAVING ALL.
WHEN THEY GET TO THEIR NEW COUNTY, THEY WILL FIND OUT THAT, OH, THEY WILL PROBABLY GET ASKED THE QUESTION.
UM, ARE YOU REGISTERED SOMEWHERE ELSE? AND WE ASKED THAT QUESTION AS WELL ON, ARE YOU REGISTERED SOMEWHERE ELSE? AND IF THEY OPERATE
[00:30:01]
THE STORE SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEY HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK TO THEIR HOME.WE'LL SEND THEM A LETTER SAYING THAT I'M REGISTERED.
PLEASE CANCEL MY REGISTRATION BAIL.
SO FAR AS PEOPLE WHO WANT THE CEASE, UM, WE CAN, WE CANNOT TAKE THE SAME PEOPLE OFF OF THE ROLL.
UM, THOSE PEOPLE ARE PUT IN AN INACTIVE OR ON-CALL STATUS ONCE THEY RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION, EITHER FROM FAMILY MEMBER OF THEIR CERTIFICATE OR SOMETHING, UM, FROM A FAMILY MEMBER SAYING THAT THIS PERSON IS DECEASED OR THE STATE GET INFORMATION FROM ANOTHER COUNTY AGENCY, LIKE, UM, DINA, UM, VITAL STATISTICS.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ALSO SEND INFORMATION INTO THE STATE, UM, WITHIN A TIMELY FASHION, AFTER THE PERSON DCS TO NOTIFY THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION THAT THIS PERSON IS DECEASED.
AND, UM, WE GET INFORMATION FROM OTHER STATES AND THEY VOTE AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A REGISTRATION RECORD AND THEY NOTIFY US THAT THIS PERSON IS NO LONGER, UM, NO THAT THEY WERE ENROLLED IN ANOTHER STATE TO VOTE.
SO WE NEED TO TAKE THEM OFF OUR OLD, THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO IT'S NOTHING LIKE IF SOMEBODY DIES TODAY, THEY'RE GOING TO BE OFF THE RECORDS TOMORROW.
NO, IT'S NOT USUALLY A SMOOTH PROCESS.
UM, WE WOULD HOPE FOR IT TO BE, UM, YOU KNOW, QUICKER, BUT IF WE'VE HAD PEOPLE TAKE IT OFF THE ROLL AS THE SEAS THAT WERE REALLY DECEASED, THEY WERE STILL ALIVE.
AND BECAUSE THEIR NAME WAS DIFFERENT, ALL THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER WAS INCORRECT OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
SO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND THEY ARE NEVER, EVER COMPLETELY WIPED AWAY.
THEY JUST PUT IN AN ARCHIVE STATUS, WHICH MEANS THEY ARE NOT AN ACTIVE VOTER ANYMORE IN OUR SYSTEM.
SO IT'S NOT A PRETTY, IT'S NOT PRETTY, BUT IT'S, IT IS WHAT IT IS GOING TO MISS THAT WITH.
I ATTENDED, UM, TRAINING AT THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION THAT OUTLINED A RESPONSIBILITY OF FUNERAL HOMES TO ACCOUNT FOR DECEASED.
WELL, MAYBE IT WAS, UM, AND ANOTHER STATE AGENCY, YOU, ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY REQUIREMENT THAT NEW HOMES NOTIFY THE STATE AGENCY OF THE DEATH OF PEOPLE? UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY GO BACK DIRECTLY TO THEM.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HEAD BIOSTATISTICS AND FUNERAL HOMES WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE PERSON DIED, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SEND THEM RECORD TOASTY AND LET THEM KNOW.
BUT THE ISSUE IS, LIKE SHE SAID, IT'S NOT PRETTY PEOPLE DIE IN OTHER STATES.
AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT AN AVERAGE DAY FOR THE FUNERAL HOMES TOO.
I THINK THAT FOR THEM, YEAH, I THINK IT IS.
AND SO TO SEE THE FUNERAL HOME, I HAVE TO REPORT IT TO D HECK AS WELL.
SO THERE'S, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF, AND THEY WERE ALSO NOW LOOKING AT TRYING TO GIVE SOCIAL SECURITY TO DO THE SAME THING.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT.
I DON'T THINK THAT HAS BEEN FINALIZED, BUT I KNOW, I THINK A PART OF THAT NEW LEGISLATION, THE ELECTION LAW LEGISLATION, THEY ARE LOOKING AT MAKING SOCIAL SECURITY RESPONSIBLE AS WELL, NOTIFYING THE ELECTION OFFICES.
UM, IF THAT HAPPENS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLEANER RECORDS BECAUSE EVERYBODY CAN HAVE IT.
AND I'LL TELL YOU SOCIAL SECURITY KNOWS WHEN THAT THEY HAVE IT.
WE'LL KNOW IT WHEN YOU'RE DONE THAT'S FAMILIES.
DON'T, UM, TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SEND THE DEATH CERTIFICATES TUESDAY TO DA YEAH.
SOMETHING, SOME ACT, YOU KNOW, SPOUTING PARENT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE, SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSCIOUS ABOUT THAT, THEY WILL DO IT.
UM, SOMETIMES WHEN, WHEN YOU GO TO THE PRECINCT DEVOTED, YOU SEE YOUR LOVED ONE'S NAME, STILL ON THE ROAD.
AND THERE THEY SEES THAT WILL TRIGGER SOMETHING.
AND WE HAVE A FORM THAT WE GIVE OUT TO OUR PRECINCT THAT THEY CAN FILL OUT AND SAY, THIS PERSON IS DECEASED.
AND, UM, WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE WILL CONTACT THEM AND SAY, DO YOU HAVE A DEATH CERTIFICATE OR DO YOU KNOW? WELL, UM, THE DEATH CERTIFICATE IS SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS PERSON OFF THE ROAD, MAYBE A GOOD IDEA TO SHARE THAT FORUM COMMISSIONERS SO THAT WE CAN TRACK.
WE CAN MAKE YOUR RED BAGS TOO.
[00:35:02]
ONE LAST QUESTION.SOMEBODY ASKS YOU, IF SOMEBODY ASKS YOU HOW CLEAN OR BEAUTIFUL KELLY'S REGISTRATION ROLLS, WHAT WOULD YOUR ANSWER BE? YOU MEAN A PERCENTAGE, HOWEVER YOU WANT.
I WOULD SAY THAT, UM, IS AS CLEAN AS OUR FOLDERS ALLOW IT TO BE BECAUSE THAT, THAT THERE'S SO MANY, THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER AS AN OFFICE.
EVEN IF WE KNOW THAT SOMEBODY MAY, THAT I CAN'T SAY THIS PERSON THAT THICK, BUT MY MOM PASSED AWAY.
YOU KNOW, IT HAS TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS.
I COULDN'T JUST GO IN THERE AND BEAT HER OUT OF THE SYSTEM OR PUT HER ON YOUR BACK THEIR STATUS.
THERE THERE'S A PROCESS THAT THEY GO THROUGH AND HAD ASKED HER A CERTAIN LENGTH OF TIME, UH, FOR PEOPLE WHO MOVED OR WHATEVER ELSE.
UM, THEY HAVE TO BE ON THE ROLL FOR A CERTAIN TIME BEFORE THEY MOVED TO AN INACTIVE STATUS.
SO AGAIN, IT'S NOTHING, UM, UNIVERSAL THAT MAKES ALL RULES BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE'S ROLE IN THE STATE, BECAUSE WE ARE ALL UNDER THE SAME MONTH.
WHENEVER YOU'RE NOT ASKING, I'M GOING TO ASK HIM THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS, THEY SEE THESE ARTICLES IN THE PAPER ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THEIR LOWER SCHOOL RULES.
AND THEY SAID, HOW DOES THAT WORK HERE? AND I SAID, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT TAKE THEM OFF AS QUICK AS WE CAN WITH THE CAVEATS OF THE DEATH CERTIFICATE, BUT THAT HOW LONG, AND AGAIN, WE, WE DIDN'T SAY THAT EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, BUT EVERY STATE IS DIFFERENT.
AND SO I KNOW SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO BE RIDICULOUS AT SOME OTHER STATE, HOW THEY DO THINGS.
BUT THE WAY I THINK IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE ELECTION, SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS, I THINK GOT MOST OF IT, RIGHT? I'M NOT GOING TO SAY EVERYTHING IS RIGHT, BUT MOST OF OUR PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES THAT PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT IN OTHER STATES, WE ALREADY HAVE, WE ALREADY HAVE.
AND THIS IS WHAT, AND THIS IS WHAT THE SESSION IS ABOUT TOO, IS UNDERSTANDING YOUR POSITION IN THIS.
BECAUSE WE RUN ELECTIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA, WE DON'T RUN ELECTIONS IN ARIZONA OR
AND WE ALL KNOW THE STORY BEHIND VACATIONS.
ALL THEY KNOW IS WHAT ONE PERSON'S OPINION IS.
OR TWO PEOPLE OPINION IS WE NEED TO FOCUS.
AND WE GOT ENOUGH STUFF IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
THEN WE CAME TO DEEP WITH RA INSTEAD OF US TRYING TO DEAL WITH OTHER STATES AND THEIR ISSUES.
SO AS A BOARD, LESS UNDERSTAND SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION BALLS AND UNDERSTAND HOW IT AFFECTS WHAT YOU DO AS A BOARD.
AND LET'S, LET'S PUT MOST OF OUR ENERGY ON ALL OF OUR ENERGY AS A BOARD MEMBER, AS STAFF ON THAT.
WE READ ABOUT SOME OF THOSE OTHER THINGS AS WELL.
I HAVE TO IT'S LIKE, WHY, HOW COULD THEY HAVE LET THAT HAPPEN? BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY.
DID CAROLINE WRITE THAT NOTE FOR YOU? I BET YOU THAT YOU ALREADY ASKED THREE QUESTIONS.
I THINK I HAVE THE ANSWERS, THE CS WASHINGTON ABOUT MOVING PEOPLE UP THE ROAD BECAUSE THIS LISTS THAT I BROKE UP MEMBERS, MY FATHER AND SISTER.
SO IF THEY HAVE FOOD THAT YOU DON'T WANT SOMETHING THAT MUCH MONEY TO GET IT, I KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS BECAUSE WORKING WITH A STATE, I HAVE TO GO AND GET LIKE SEVERAL
MY QUESTION IS, I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S A WHITE EDDIE CAN BE FLUID UP IN THE BACK, YOU KNOW, KEEPING THIS ON THE LIST OR WHATEVER.
I, LIKE I SAID, AND WE'VE MENTIONED IT EARLIER, THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS, UM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY RIGHT OF DEATH CERTIFICATE COSTS, BUT HER FAMILY MEMBER, BUT THAT'S WHY
AND THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR IS IN THE LOOP BECAUSE THEY SENT ALL THAT INFORMATION UP TO THE STATE ELECTRONICALLY.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF, WHAT FORM IT COMES IS THAT A COPY OF THEIR, OF THEIR CERTIFICATE, BECAUSE ALL, IS IT JUST A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO DIED IN THEIR DATA HAVE, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET IT, BUT THEY DO GET THE CORNERSTONE OF RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL.
NOW, THE CORRIDOR THAT I DON'T
[00:40:01]
THINK, UH, I THINK THE COURT, I GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, IF A CAUSE OF DEATH IS, IS INCLUDED ON THE DEATH CERTIFICATE, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE PERSONALLY HAVE TO, TO DO ANYTHING IN THE PROCESS.WE HAVE THIS, UM, IT IS A WAY TO HELP CLEAN UP, UM, OUR PROCESS.
IS IT POSSIBLE? I KNOW WHEN I WAS CLERK, I USED TO ALWAYS BE ABLE TO TELL ME THAT SOMEBODY GOES ON THE ROAD TO REMIND OUR POLL WORKERS, THAT THIS IS THAT THEY HAVE THOSE IN THEIR KIT AND THAT WHY IT HAPPENED IN THESE KIDS.
AS PEOPLE COME IN TO THE BRIEFING, THAT IF THEY FAILED, THAT THEY HAVE TO, THEY PROVIDE THAT, UM, THEY COMPLETE THAT WHOLE TWO, THREE MINDED.
THIS IS HELPING US CLEAN UP THE WAY YOU HAVE FULL LICENSE, TRAINED WORKERS, TRAININGS THAT WE REMIND THEM THAT THIS HELPS THEM TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT.
AND THAT'S JUST AN OBSERVATION FOR ME WHEN I WAS A WHOLE WALKER, THAT'S THE RIGHT WORD.
I KEPT SAYING THAT PERSON, THAT PERSON, THAT CAUSE OF COUNSEL BUSINESS, I USED TO KNOW NOTHING.
AND I KEPT TELLING HIM EVERY YEAR WHEN I WAS A POLL WATCHER, I WOULD TELL A WORKER, I SAID, THIS PERSON'S DEAD THIS FIRST DAY OF THEIR SELECTION TO ALL STAY WITH ME ON, ON THE RIGHT.
BUT BEING YOUR WORD CANNOT TAKE
MY QUESTION IS I KNOW THEY, THAT I SAW AT THE HOUSE
LET'S FOLLOW UP AND SEE IF WE CAN GET THE NECESSARY DOCUMENT, BECAUSE SEE THAT FORM.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE NOTIFIED ABOUT HE HAD OF THAT.
ALL I'M SAYING IS BASED ON MY LIMITED AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE, WHOEVER'S SUPPOSED TO BE NOTIFIED NURSES, NOT DOING THEIR JOB BECAUSE THEY HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT I WASN'T GUESSING.
AND I'M SOME OF MY OPINIONS OR VIEWS YOU CAN ASSIGN.
YOU KNOW, THAT THERE'S STILL THREE YEARS AGO, DID THEY STEAL, UM, DID HE HATE NOT LOVE TO SNOW? SIT ON MY FIELD, THAT ELECTION IT WAS SENT IN AND NOBODY EVER CHECKED THAT THIS, I JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
UM, IF WE HAVE AN ELECTION WITHIN THAT, WE HAVE TO DO, WE HAD A JUNE ELECTION AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A NOVEMBER ELECTION.
THAT'S ALL IN THE SAME YEAR, THE LABOR LAW WAS WRITTEN AFTER TWO GENERAL ELECTION.
NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT PERSON IN JUNE.
YOU WILL SEE IT AGAIN IN NOVEMBER, UNLESS WE GET A DEATH CERTIFICATE.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT THAT, AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE THE CYCLE HASN'T BEEN COMPLETED, WHERE THEY WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE REMOVED.
SO NOT GOING TO BE, UM, IN TWO GENERAL ELECTIONS, AND I'M GOING TO PUT THIS ON THE RECORD.
THERE ARE PEOPLE DON'T VOTE HIM FOR COUNTY UNLESS THEY ASK FOR AN ABSENTEE BALLOT AND DOT BEFORE YOU MENTIONED THERE, WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE VOTING FOR COUNTY.
AND IF SOMEBODY GETS VOTED, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU.
THEY MAY BE FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, FRAUDULENTLY VOTING UNDER SOMEBODY ELSE'S NAME, BUT THAT'S NOT THE DEAD PERSON.
SO THIS TERM THAT'S GOING AROUND ABOUT DEAD PEOPLE VOTING, THEN PEOPLE ARE NOT VOTING THEIR LOSS.
STOP FALLING INTO THE, THE, WHAT DOES IT GO? YEAH.
T H E Y PEOPLE THERE, PEOPLE CANNOT FOLK.
AS LONG AS THEY'RE ON THE ROLLS, THAT LIT UP.
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME FRAUD.
PROBABLY THAT MEANS WHOEVER IS DOING THAT.
[00:45:01]
FOR SOME REASON THEY AREN'T CAUGHT BECAUSE THERE ARE PROCEDURES IN PLACE THAT COULD PRETTY MUCH, SOMETIMES YOU FIGURE THAT OUT.YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE GO THROUGH THIS A LOT.
UM, THEY'RE JEOPARDIZING THEIR FREEDOM, WELL TO CAST A BALLOT.
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT ALL WORKERS DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
THEY VERIFY THAT LEADS PEOPLE OFF.
IF THEY GO THROUGH THAT VERIFICATION PROCESS, WOULD THEY COME UP TO VOTE? UM, THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN.
NOW, IF I SEE SOMEBODY COME WRAPPED IN MONEY, CLOTHING, AND THEY LAUGH AT US AND I WANT TO VOTE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN THAT'S SERIOUSLY A PROBLEM.
IF THAT WAS ON OUR ROAD MAP, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO VOTE.
BUT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESSES THAT WE GO THROUGH TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A PERSON IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.
AND IF THAT SMITH THROUGH OFF FIGURES.
SO THAT'S ON US, THAT'S ON US.
IF THAT'S THE WELFARE, BECAUSE WE SHOULD VERIFY EVERYBODY AT THE CASTLE, YOU FOR COUNTY, AND NOBODY SHOULD BE TESTING MORE THAN ONE BALLOT.
UM, RECRUIT AND TRAIN POLL MANAGERS.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN, WE HAVEN'T GOT SPOILED BECAUSE WE DO ALL WEEKEND AS AN OFFICE STAFF TO TRAIN EVERYBODY.
BUT THAT'S YOUR JOB TO TREAT MANAGERS AND WE'D DO IT AGAIN AS NEXT AN TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE TO TRAIN FOR ONE ON ONE ONE-ON-ONE BASIS OR TWO OR ONE BASIS, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
UM, BUT ACTUALLY, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT? IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM YOURSELVES, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE RULES.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRAINING THEM ON.
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND SO THAT YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, RELAY THAT OVER TO YOUR POLL WORKERS.
WHEN YOU GO TO YOUR POLICE LIGHTS ON YOUR ELECTION DAY, SORRY, THAT'S GETTING INTO MY STORE AT MAINTAIN VOTING SYSTEMS. YOU DO THAT.
THAT'S WHY WE FIGHT SO HARD FOR THEM NOT SPACE TO PUT THEM IN, YOU KNOW, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.
CANVAS AND CERTIFIED ELECTIONS RESULTS.
WE, SO THAT WE KNOW THAT'S WHAT SHE'S EATING.
THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE ELECTION BECAUSE YOU, EVEN THOSE PEOPLE WHO COME UP TO VOTE IN POPPY CHALLENGE BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS, THEY, THEY UP GOING THROUGH THE CORRECT PROCESS.
FOR SOME REASON THAT PHOTO QUALIFICATION IS BEING CHALLENGED.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM VOTE AND TELL YOU GUYS, DO THE RESEARCH TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU CANVAS THOSE CAP, THOSE BALLOTS THAT COME IN, UM, TWO OR THREE DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION, YOU GO THROUGH IT BECAUSE A POLL MANAGER OR CLERK DECIDED SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR, UM, VOTER.
SO I CAN NOT ALLOW THEM TO LOAD UNTIL FURTHER INVESTIGATION GOES ON.
AND AFTER YOU DO THAT, AND IF THOSE PEOPLE WERE PROVEN TO BE, UM, QUALIFIED VOTERS, THEIR VOTE GETS TO CUT.
AND IF THEY DON'T GET TO COUNT, BUT THERE ARE RULES IN PLACE FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IS REALLY SHOULDN'T THAT THERE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE A VOTER, UM, WHOSE BALLOT IS COUNTED.
THAT'S NOT COMPLYING IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE ELECTION LAWS.
SO IT'S, IT'S NOT THAT WE WANT TO VISIT FRANCHISE EVERYONE.
THEY ARE LAWS GOVERNING EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.
IT'S NOT THE, I LIKE THIS PERSON.
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A CERTAIN, UM, FOR SEVEN 70.
DO WE ALWAYS AGREE WITH THE LAW? NO, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THE SPEED LIMIT IS GOING TO BE 65.
AND IF YOU BREAK THE LAW, YOU'RE GOING TO GET CAUGHT.
SOMETIMES NOW YOU MIGHT GET AWAY A LOT OF TIMES, BUT THE TIME THAT YOU GET CAUGHT AND GET THAT, GET THE TICKET, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT.
SO WE DON'T ALWAYS LIKE COME ON, BUT IT'S OUR JOB TO COMPLY WHOLE PROTEST HEARINGS.
WE CAME CLOSE TO, WE CAN'T CLOSE TO A HEARING GETTING THIS PROTEST HEARING, UM, COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN WE HELD THAT HEARING.
BUT A PROTEST HEARING IS TYPICALLY HELD BY A CANDIDATE.
I WOULD SAY A LOSING CANDIDATE WHO WANTS TO CHALLENGE THE RESULTS
[00:50:01]
OF THE ELECTION.FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY CAN COME UP WITH WHY THEY CAN NOT WIN THAT ELECTION.
SO PROTEST HEARING IS SET UP SIMILAR TO THAT HEARING.
WE HAD A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, UM, IN BOTH OF THEM WHERE PEOPLE WERE CHALLENGING OUR VOTERS, UM, REBS RESIDENCY.
SO, BUT THAT'S AS CLOSE AS WE CAME SO FAR.
SO I THINK MR. PRESIDENT MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH A CHALLENGE BEFORE.
I MEAN, A PROTEST HEARING BEFORE AND THAT HE, UM, HE MAY BE THE ONLY ONE I THINK THAT HAS GONE THROUGH A PROTEST HERE THAT WILL USUALLY BE THERE ALL THE TIME.
YOUR 10TH YEAR IS YOUR POSITION.
IS THERE EVER BEEN A FATHER, UH, CONVICTED OF A FRAUD AND BUFORD COUNTY SINCE YOU'VE, HAS THERE BEEN A BORDER OF A CONVICTED OF A FRAUDULENT VOTE FOR KIND OF, AND RON, YOU SAID YOU'VE BEEN HERE A LONG WE'RE ALL OF US TOGETHER.
NOT SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE AND WE CAME AROUND ABOUT THE SAME TIME I'VE BEEN THERE FOR 17 AND YOU'VE WORRY ABOUT, THEY DID A PROCESS.
IF SOMEBODY WAS OUT VOTING ILLEGALLY, WHAT IS, IS BOARD MEMBERS? WHAT WOULD WE DO TO WHO THEY ARE A FRAUD SHOT, BUDDY? WE HAVE TO PREDICT MUCH, UM, TURN MAN INTO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
NOW THEY HAVE A SLED TASKFORCE.
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BUILD A SIGN TO FALL OFF THE REPORT FRAUD AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO YEAH, IF WE KNOW OF SOMEBODY THAT MAY FEEL, IT'S A BIG THING, I MEAN, IT'S COMMITTING A CRIME, THEN THERE'S A PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH TO REPORT THEM TO THE PROPER AUTHORITY.
AND I THINK WE COULD START WITH THE SHERIFF, THE BLOCK, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHEREVER WE ARE.
I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IN MY POSITION.
I SAW AN AD AND WHAT THAT DID YOU NEED TO, UM, BRING IT TO, LET'S SAY BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION AND YOU BET, UM, I WOULD THINK THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING AND GET YOUR WITNESSES AND STUFF TOO.
BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO PROVE IT.
AND IF YOU HAVE INFLAMMATION AND DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE IT, UM, YOU'D NEED TO HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A CASE, YOU WOULD HAVE A LEGITIMATE CASE, BUT WE CAN'T CONVICT THEM HOW THEY HAVE TO BE CONVICTED BY THE COURTS.
BUT WE, IN TERMS OF ME, WE HAD ONE CLOSE ONE, WE TALKED ABOUT ONE OF OUR BIGGEST THINGS, BUT THEY WERE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME STIPULATIONS ON IT THAT WE DO NOW.
BUT SOMEBODY, WHEN WE USED TO HAVE ABSENTEE VOTING, YOU CAN VOTE ON MONDAY.
YOU COULD GO TO ON MONDAY, THE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION.
AND WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT, ME, CHRIS AND MARIE WAS SENDING AN EMAIL OUT TO ALL THE CLERK, LETTING THEM KNOW WHO VOTED ON MONDAY, BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD THE LAPTOPS, ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY VOTED WELL, ONE PRECINCT DID NOT GET THEIR LIST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT DIDN'T, IT DIDN'T COME BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY BECAUSE IT DIDN'T COME.
AND, UH, WHAT HAPPENED, A PERSON CAME IN AND VOTED ABSENTEE IN THE OFFICE AND THEN SHE WANTED TO TEST THE SYSTEM.
SO SHE ACTUALLY WENT AND JUST AT ONE PRECINCT OUT OF 93 AT THE TIME HAPPENED TO BE HER PRECINCT.
THEY DIDN'T GET THE NUMBER, THE NAMES TO SEE ZD.
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? AND SO SHE WENT THERE TO VOTE.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO PRETEND TO VOTE.
AND SHE ACTUALLY ASKED THE GIRL, SHE SAID, CAN I VOTE? AND SHE LOOKED AT HER AND SHE'S NOT IN, SHE'S NOT IN THERE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET THE LIST UPDATED.
AND SO SHE SAT THERE AND SAID, YOU SURE I CAN VOTE? AND THE GIRL SAYS, YEAH, YOU CAN VOTE.
SO SHE PICKED UP THE PEN AND THEN SHE PUT IT BACK DOWN.
BUT SEE IF SHE HAD SIGNED THAT LIST, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ATTEMPT TO VOTE.
LIKE YOU SAID, ATTEMPTING TO VOTE TWICE AS A FRAUD AND A FELONY.
SHE WOULD'VE GOTTEN IN TROUBLE FOR THAT.
ATTEMPTING, ATTEMPTING TO VOTE.
HOW ARE YOU BACK OLD? WATCH YOUR BANGS IN ONE ELECTION.
MY FRIESEN, WE HAVE 11 PEOPLE.
THEY JUST CAN'T GET THEIR BOAT.
AND THEY, WHEN THEY WERE QUESTIONED, THEY ADMITTED THEY WEREN'T THE PERSONS FOR, WE HAVE A PICTURE.
[00:55:01]
AND WHEN QUESTIONED THEY IMAGE IS THEY WANT THE PERSON AND THEN THEY, WE DIDN'T LET HIM FUCK.BECAUSE ONE PERSON SAYS THAT'S NOT THE PERSON AND THE BOAT WORKER RECYCLE FOR YOU, SUSIE SPIRIT.
AND THEY ADMITTED IN LIGHT, BUT I DIDN'T GO LAST TIP IN THE BOAT.
IS IT FELL OUT THE HEAD OF THE BOAT, YOU KNOW, ATTEMPTING TO VOTE.
NOW IT IS VALIDATED ALWAYS SINCE THERE'S NEW LEGISLATION PASSED, ATTEMPTING TO VOTE TWICE AS A FELONY, EVERY POLL WORKER SIDE OF AFFIDAVIT TO SWAY ON THAT.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THAT VOTING AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT WE TRIED TO TRAIN OUR BOARD, BUT STILL REMIND VOTERS WHEN THEY COME IN AND THEY GET CERTIFIED AT THAT TABLE THAT THEY ASSIGNED HIM TO SAY, I SMELLED, THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME VOTING IN THIS ELECTION.
AND IF YOU DID, BUT THE PROCESS WORKED, YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? IT PREVENTED SOMEBODY THROUGH THE VERIFICATION PROCESS FROM VOTING TWICE.
NOW, IF THAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE, KNOW THAT THAT EVEN THAT PERSON ATTEMPTING TO VOTE COULD BE CHARGED WITH A FELONY AND THEY SPIN UP THE THREE, FIVE YEARS IN JAIL.
NOW
PEOPLE THAT USED TO TEST THE TSA OUT IN YEARS AGO, WHEN YOU HAVE NINE 11, YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU GO TO SAVANNAH AGAIN, INTERNATIONAL CARRY ON BAG, THEY CAN, IF YOU WANT TO TRY AND TEST OUT THE SYSTEM, WHEN YOU THINK WHAT PUTS YOU AT ONCE, THEY FIGURED OUT THAT YOU GOT A LOT ABOUT IMMEDIATELY.
AND THAT'S JUST LIKE THE WAY THAT PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO BE TESTING THE SYSTEM.
YOU JUST NEED TO TRUST THE SYSTEM UNLESS YOU'RE IN NEW YORK, HAVING A GUN, OKAY.
WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE ELECTIONS.
WE HAVE THE DUTIES OF THE CHAIRPERSON.
UM, AND MR. CLIFFORD SERVED AS CHAIR FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, AND JEAN IS NOT SERVING AS OUR CHIA.
AND BOTH OF THEM DID WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.
THEY MAKE SURE THAT THE MEETING IS SET UP.
USUALLY Y'ALL GET AN EMAIL FROM
SO, UM, THEN THE LADY FROM LARRY POINT OF CONTACT WITH THE DIFFERENT THERE, AND, UM, WE KNEW THAT, UM, NOTIFY THE GOVERNOR IF THE BOARD MEMBER IS NOT THIS NONCOMPLIANT, UM, I'M SURE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, THERE WILL BE SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS AND UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHY BOARD MEMBERS ARE NOT COMPLIANT.
NOW, THE SNIPS THAT MEDIA COVERAGE, IF NECESSARY, UM, POLITICAL ACTIVITY, REPLYING CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN POLITICAL MANAGEMENT OR CAMPAIGN OR WHOSE ELECTION THE COMMISSIONER HAS JEWISH ADDICTION AND AWKWARD PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE COULD BE FOR COUNTY.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE MANAGING THEIR CAMPAIGN.
OKAY? YOU SHOULD NOT BE BETTER TO THEIR CAMPAIGN.
ALL RIGHT? YOU CAN NOT SORROW AS A POLL WATCHER, ALL PEOPLE MANAGER, AS YOU KNOW, SERVING ON THIS BOARD, YOU CANNOT SERVE AS A POLITICAL PARTY.
OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN HOLD, UM, UM, THE VICE PRESIDENCY IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE PRESIDENT IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, YOU CAN'T HOLD OFFICE IN A POLITICAL, UM, FOR ANY POLITICAL PARTY.
UM, BUT YOU CAN'T ATTEND POLITICAL PARTY MEETINGS, BUT YOU MINDFUL OF YOUR RULES.
WHEN YOU ARE IN THOSE MEETINGS, YOU MUST DEAL A MEMBER.
THAT'S BEEN APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF VOTER REGISTRATION IN THE ELECTION.
AND I THINK THAT YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE A DUTY TO REPRESENT
[01:00:01]
THIS BOARD OR THIS, THE VOTING REGISTRATION AND ELECTION PROCESS.YOU CAN BE AT SOME OTHER SOCIAL EVENT.
YOU CAN BE AT POLITICAL PARTY MEETINGS.
YOU NEED TO ALWAYS BE MINDFUL THAT YOU REPRESENT THIS SCHOOL AND YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A PARTY, BUT NOT A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE.
YOU BUMPED UP ON THE HALL ETHICS RULES.
SO YOU CAN USE THE PEACE OF, FOR, OF THESE THINGS.
AND IF THERE IS A PARTY OR KEVIN THAT YOU LOVE AND ON WHAT TO SUPPORT, YOU'D NEED TO FIGURE OUT ANOTHER WAY TO DO THAT.
BUT PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE, UM, CONTRIBUTE TO US OTHER CANDIDATE.
CHRIS IS GONNA COME UP THAT RIGHT? YES.
HOW OLD WERE CRYSTAL? YOU GOT TO CUT YOU A SHOT.
I THINK THE QUESTIONS ARE GOOD BECAUSE WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT RESEARCH.
UM, YOU WANT TO LIST UP IN HERE? I WOULD SAY THAT'S REAL QUICK TECHNICAL ISSUES.
NAH, I DIDN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE DURING THE ELECTION TIME WHERE YOU USUALLY ASK QUESTIONS, LIKE WHERE TO GO VOTE.
UM, HOW DO I VOTE? THAT'S WHERE ONE OF THE THINGS WE USUALLY ASK IS WHAT DO WE DO AFTER THE ELECTIONS? WHAT IS OUR REAL JOBS? THIS YEAR IS JUST TO SHOW PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE DO THE OTHER 364 DAYS OUTSIDE OF THE ELECTION CYCLE.
I HAVE SEVERAL TOPICS, UM, GENERAL OFFICE DUTIES, TRAVELING, TRAINING, WHAT YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH.
UM, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FACILITIES, HOW WE CAN SERVE THE ABSENTEE AND EARLY.
SO TO BE ALSO UPDATE YOU ON NEW REGISTRATIONS CHANGE ADDRESSES.
AND THERE'S ALSO THE ST LOUIS THING.
AND THEN MAINTAINING THE VOTER RECORDS, GENERAL OFFICE.
SHE KNEW JUST ABOUT EVERY BUSINESS AS THREE MAIN MAIL, PHONE CALLS AND CUSTOMERS.
WE HAVE THE SAME, OUR CUSTOMERS, NOT JUST THE VOTERS AND THE CANDIDATES, BUT ALSO OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
FOR INSTANCE, THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION, WHENEVER THEY HAVE NOTARIES STAY, CALL US OR CHECKING IN TO MAKE SURE THE C4 REGISTERED THE COUNTY COUNCIL DOES FOR THEIR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND ATTACKS STARTED
[01:05:01]
THE TREASURES AND ASSESSMENTS FOR RESIDENTS.OF COURSE, WE ALSO HAVE BILLS THAT WE PAY AND THAT'S OPENED AND SORTING AND ALL THE PHONE CALLS, WHICH MS. JEAN, WHO TESTIFIED TO NOW, WE HAVE THE TRAVEL AND THE TRAIN TRAVEL IS FOUR THINGS.
FIRST, IT STARTS WITH YOU GUYS WANT TO TAKE A CLASS OR A WORKSHOP.
IF IT'S AN OVERNIGHT STAY OR A TWO DAY CLASS, THAT SORT OF THING, THEN WE FILL OUT THE REQUEST PROCESS.
YOU GUYS DON'T EVER SEE EACH LIKE WHAT IT IS IS WE FILL OUT THE REQUEST FORM, GET THE HOTEL RESERVATION, THE CLASS, WE FIGURE OUT YOUR PER DIEM AND THE AMOUNT THAT IS THEN SUBMITTED TO THE DIRECTOR.
WHENEVER SHE APPROVES IT, THEN IT GOES TO THE DEPARTMENT FOR APPROVAL.
AND THEN AFTER THE DEPARTMENT HEAD APPROVES, IT, IT GOES TO FINANCE.
FINANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF TWO WEEKS FOR PROCESSING CHECKS AND EVERYTHING.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ALL YEAR THROUGHOUT FOR ANYTHING.
NOW, IF YOU TAKE DAY TRIPS OR JUST GOING UP FOR A COLUMBIA, THAT SORT OF THING, IF THERE'S NO REGISTRATION FEE OR NO HOTEL FEE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE TRAVEL FORMS, BUT DO YOU HAVE TO TURN IN YOUR MA YOUR, EXCUSE ME, YOUR MEAL TICKETS.
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING FROM MEAL AND ANY MILEAGE, UM, OF COURSE, IF YOU'VE TAKEN THE DRIVER'S ED, WHICH IS GOOD FOR THREE YEARS, WE HAVE THE COUNTY VEHICLES.
IF THEY'RE ASSESSABLE THAT YOU GUYS CAN USE, THE FACILITIES.
THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS FOR US, THAT THERE IS WHERE WE GET THE LOCATIONS FOR THE POLES.
UM, WE CONTACT THEM USUALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST YEAR, MAYBE JANUARY 1ST, JANUARY 2ND, FOR ANY SCHEDULED ELECTIONS.
AND WE GIVE THEM A LIST OF THE ELECTIONS, THE DATES OF THE SETUP FOR BEFORE THE DELIVERY, ABOUT HOW LONG IT IS FOR THE ELECTION DAY.
AND WHEN IT'S PICKED UP, WE ASKED THEM IF WE CAN USE THE FACILITY, WHAT ROOM IT IS, WHO THE CONTACT PEOPLE ARE AND ULTIMATE CONTACT AND AN AFTER HOURS AND WEEKEND CONTACTS.
THAT WAY IN CASE WE CAN'T GET A HOLD OF ONE OR TWO, WE'VE GOT AT LEAST A SURVEY.
AND THEN IF WE GET APPROVAL FROM THE FACILITY USE, WE GET A CERTIFICATE OF LIABILITY.
DON'T WE WORRY MOST OF THEM EXCEPT FOR THE COUNTY, EXCEPT FOR THE COUNTY ONES.
AND THEN WE PUT THEM ON EMERGENCY CONTACT LIST, WHICH IS WHAT YOU GUYS GET DURING ELECTION DAY.
AND THE CALL WORKERS GIFT FOR CONTACT INFO, THE CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE CERTIFICATE, MERCY CHURCH.
SEE WHAT, OH, I THOUGHT IT WAS LIABILITY INSURANCE.
AND THEN IF FOR SOME REASON THEY SAY, NO, WE SEARCHED FOR NEW LOCATIONS.
SO TELL THEM WHAT IT IS TO GET TO THAT.
THAT'S IN CASE, UM, WE HAD ONE AT, WHAT WAS IT, JESSE ONE, JESSE ONE OR LIABILITY WHERE SOMEBODY HAD SLIPPED AND FELL.
IT WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE PRECINCT.
I THINK IT WAS COMING IN OR COMING INTO THE PRECINCT.
I DIDN'T HEAR ALL THIS, BUT THEY WERE COMING INTO THE PRECINCT AND THEY DECIDED TO THANK SUE US, THE COUNTY THEM FACILITY.
AND THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THE INSURANCE NOW TO COVER IT.
I THINK WE STILL HADN'T BEEN THOUGH, BUT YEAH, WE JUST NEVER, I'VE NEVER HAD TO GET UP BEFORE AND SEND IT TO THE FACILITIES.
UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT.
DID THEY TALKED ABOUT
SO WE PROVIDE, UM, FOR MOST OF OUR FACILITY, A CERTIFICATE
[01:10:01]
OF INSURANCE THAT WILL COVER THEM FOR MY ABILITY AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT EXPENSE ON THEM, BUT THE FACILITY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AT THAT FACILITY WHILE WE ARE USING IT AS A POLLING LOCATION.AND SOME PLACES REQUIRE US TO HAVE IT BEFORE WE CAN EVEN USE IT.
UM, THE PLACES THAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE FOR SAY NO, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE LOOK FOR EITHER A, A NEW LOCATION WITHIN THERE, FOR INSTANCE, ANOTHER PART OF THE FACILITY, OR WE ENDED UP GOING OUTSIDE AND TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER LOCATION CLOSE BY.
WE'VE HAD THEM WHERE IT WAS BEEN ALMOST A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION WE'VE HAD TO MOVE HOME, BUT USUALLY WE FIND OUT BEFOREHAND, THEY'RE VERY GOOD AT IT.
DO YOU ALWAYS CONTACT US? WE ALWAYS CONTACT THEM ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE.
AND FOR INSTANCE, LIKE FOR THE NOVEMBER, WE CONTACT THEM ACTUALLY NOW IN JULY, I'LL BE EMAILING THEM AND CONTACTING THEM TO CONFIRM AGAIN.
AND WE DO THAT THROUGH, WELL, WE ARE STARTING TO DO NOW JUST FOR, NOT ONLY THIS SELECTION HERE, BUT FOR THE FUTURE ONES TOO, BECAUSE THEY GET SO BUSY.
LIKE FOR INSTANCE, SOME CITY IN THAT, THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE IT ON THE BOOKS, AT LEAST ATTENDANCE DATE.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A FORM THAT THEY HAVE IT, A PRECINCT THAT IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY BOLD, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY BUILD THAT SUCKER OUT.
SO THEY'VE GOT INFORMATION WOULDN'T WE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT THAT WE KNOW WHEN THEY FAIL, WHY THEY FELL, WHAT THEY SAID WHEN THEY FELL, WHETHER YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, DO THERE'S A WHOLE FORM AND
I DON'T KNOW IF THE COMMISSIONERS ALSO HAVE IT, BUT THE POLL WORKERS DEFINITELY DO IS A NEW FORM.
FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD USED THEM WAS JUNE FOR THE PRIMARIES AND THE RUNOFFS.
UM, SOME GIVE YOU THE SAME TIME IS A LITTLE LOW.
THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE IT'S BRAND NEW.
NOBODY KNOWS WE'RE OUT THERE AT THE LIBRARY YET.
WE'RE GOING TO BE PROMOTING THEM.
AND THE OTHER FACILITIES MORE CORD BLOOD IS A BELOVED FAVORITE.
EVEN THE PEOPLE FROM HILTON HEAD COME OUT THERE, THEY WERE EXCITED THAT WE WERE THERE AND DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO SLOW THEN, OR EVEN ACTIVELY BY MAIL, STILL POPULAR.
AS YOU SEE IN 2016, WE'VE HAD 41,503.
NOW THAT IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME THAT WE REACHED OVER 10,000 ABSENTEE VOTERS FOR COUNTY ALONE.
WE'VE NEVER HAD THAT MANY UNTIL THEN.
AND YOU SEE FOR 2018 AND IS PROTECTED TO KEEP DOUBLING, WHICH IS GREAT.
IT MEANS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE LESS PEOPLE, HOPEFULLY AT THE POLL THAT WAY YOUR COWORKERS DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM.
MY STAFF DOES, AND THEY'RE A WONDERFUL GROUP, UM, BY THE MAIL IT'S DONE QUICK.
NOW THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE UA CUP, WHICH IS MILITARY OVERSEAS.
THEY GET, THERE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THERE ABOUT THEY GET ON BY NOT JUST MAIL, BUT ALSO BY FAX EMAIL AND ALSO CAN DO AN ONLINE.
AND THEY JUST SIMPLY DO IT ONLINE AND GET A PIN NUMBER.
THEN THEY GET JUST THEIR BALLOT.
THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO GET IT AND THEY RETURN IT.
AND THEN IT'S NOT RAINING TILL I THINK ELECTION DAY.
UM, WE DON'T HAVE IN-PERSON ABSENTEE.
LIKE MARIE HAD SAID WE HAVE EARLY VOTING, BUT OF COURSE WE STILL HAVE YEAR ROUND REQUESTS.
THOSE START TECHNICALLY JANUARY 1ST COURTS WERE CLOSED THAT DAY.
PEOPLE WILL CALL US AND REQUEST
[01:15:01]
THE ABSENTEE.WE WILL SEND IT TO THEM, THAT RIBS APPLICATION FOR ALL SCHEDULED ELECTIONS.
IF THERE IS NOT A SCHEDULED ELECTION, WE KEEP IT ON RECORD UNTIL THE END OF THAT YEAR, IN CASE SOMETHING POPS UP, IF THERE IS ANY SURPRISE OR SPECIAL ELECTIONS, WE SEND THEM THE APPLICATION FOR THAT TOO.
AND WE JUST AUTOMATICALLY SEND IT.
THAT IS FOR ONLY THE YEAR FROM JANUARY TO DECEMBER, THEY HAVE TO REDO IT EVERY YEAR.
THERE USED TO BE 17 REASONS FOR ABSENTEE VOTING.
THEY RECENTLY CUT IT DOWN TO, I NEVER COUNTED THEM.
I DON'T THINK EVERY DAY ON QUITE A BIT, OVER 65 IS STILL POPULAR.
UM, THEY HAVE, INSTEAD OF BEING OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION, IT SAYS, UM, NOT IN THE AREA, NOT IN THE AREA AND THE COUNTY WILL BE SOON FROM YOUR COUNTY.
UM, DOING THE EARLY VOTING PERIOD AND ON ELECTION DAY, THAT'S A REASON FOR VOTING, OKAY, TO GET ABSENTEE BALLOTS, THEY CHANGED THE WORDING YET.
THEY ALSO PICK OUT THE ONES FOR POLL WORKERS AND PULL MANAGERS AND ELECTION STAFF.
NOW, YOU JUST GOT TO USE ONE THING THAT YOU ARE WORKING THAT DAY.
UM, OF COURSE THEY STILL HAVE ONES FOR THE MILITARY AND OVERSEAS VOTERS.
NOW, ONE THING I DID NOT MENTION FOR THE OVERSEAS VOTERS THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE PEOPLE FOR VACATION, YOU CANNOT GET YOUR BALLOT BY EMAIL OR FAX.
IF YOU'RE ON VACATION OVERSEAS, YOU GOTTA BE RESIGNED.
AND WHO DO YOU, UM, IF YOU'RE IN, UM, ADMITTED TO A HOSPITAL WITHIN FOUR DAYS, WHAT YOU NEED, WHENEVER YOU DO ABSENTEE, WE NO LONGER COMPLETE BY EMAIL OR FAX.
LIKE WE USED TO, IT IS BY PHONE MAIL OR IN PERSON ONLY THE INFORMATION WE NEED IS OF COURSE THE PERSON'S NAME IS THE ADDRESS OF WHERE THEY RESIDE IN BEAVER COUNTY, WHEREVER WE WANT THE APPLICATION MAIL DIFFERENT.
THE LAST FOUR OF THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, YOUR DATE OF BIRTH PHONE NUMBER.
IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS AND IF THEY'RE REQUESTING FOR SOMEONE ELSE, THERE'S ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT CAN DO A PORT.
FOR INSTANCE, PARENT, UM, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
SON-IN-LAW, DAUGHTER-IN-LAW IMMEDIATE FAMILY, IMMEDIATE FAMILY, WHICH WE NEED THE PERSON WHO'S REQUESTED NAME, THEIR ADDRESS, AND THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED INTO THE SYSTEM.
BUT WHAT WE DO IS WE GIVE THE INFORMATION AND WE WILL MAIL THEM THE APPLICATION.
THEY RETURN IT TO US BY MAIL OR IN PERSON.
THE BALLOT IS USUALLY MAILED ABOUT ONCE PRIOR, IF IT'S AVAILABLE, THEN NO WORRIES.
OBVIOUSLY NO WORLDLY ON A MONTH, BUT USUALLY ABOUT A MONTH PRIOR NOW FOR THE MILITARY FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES 45 DAYS PRIOR WOULD USUALLY ENDS UP BEING ON SATURDAY.
SO WE TRY TO GET EVERYTHING DONE THAT FRIDAY.
AND THEN I CHECK IT ON SATURDAY, JUST IN CASE, IF YOU GUYS KNOW PEOPLE WHO USE THE ABSENTEE PROCESS, PLEASE ENCOURAGE THEM.
IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO REQUEST THE APPLICATION BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MAIL THE APPLICATION TO THEM.
AND SO THAT'S GOING TO TAKE UP A LITTLE EXTRA TIME IN THE PROCESS, GETTING THE APPLICATION MAIL AND THEY HAVE TO MAIL IT BACK TO US OR BRING IT BACK IN PERSON.
SO WE, AND WE'VE DONE HAVE THE MAIL IS WE, IT'S NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE WHERE IT'S A DAILY OR TWO-DAY TURNAROUND.
IT COULD BE UP TO FOUR TO FIVE DAYS
[01:20:01]
IN THE MAIL.THIS IS SHOWING OUR NEW REGISTRATIONS AND CAME TO ADDRESSES AND OUR STATUS UPDATES.
AND YOU SEEN
STAFF GIVE YOU UPDATE EVERY MONDAY, EVERY MONDAY, THERE'S NEUTRONIC DONE.
THEY ALSO GET IT FROM ESS DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, THE LOCATION OF THE BLIND, I THINK THE OTHER TITLE, DIFFERENT OTHER LOCAL AND STATE.
WE ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT COME IN AND BRING IN
THEY'RE VERY POSITIVE FOR GOING TO THE HIGH SCHOOLS AGAINST THE SENIORS.
ONE THING I DIDN'T MENTION IS AT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE 17 YEARS OLD, YOU CAN BE REGISTERED FOR THE JUNE PRIMARY.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE 18 ON OR BEFORE ELECTION DAY FOR NOVEMBER, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT WE GET OTHER ONES WE'VE INFORMED THEM OF IT.
SO THAT'S WHY THEY GO AND GET THE SENIOR.
AND SOME OF THE JUNIORS, IF THEY'RE THEY'RE AGE APPROPRIATE, WE READ TO THEM.
WE ALSO DID CANCELLATIONS FROM THE STATE AND FROM THE STATE ELECTIONS COMMISSION.
USUALLY EVERY DAY OR EVERY OTHER DAY, WE'LL GET A LIST LIKE FLORIDA SHOWING EVERYONE REGISTERED THERE THAT USED TO BE READY FOR, AND WE WOULDN'T CANCEL IT.
WE ALSO GET TO JUST SEE EITHER PEOPLE.
AND THAT'S A COPY OF THE DEATH CERTIFICATE, LIKE WHERE YOU MENTIONED OR THOSE STOP IN WHEN WE SCAN IT INTO THE SYSTEM.
AND USUALLY WE RETURN THEM BECAUSE WE ALWAYS HAVE PHYSICAL.
RIGHT? THEN WE HAVE THE ELECTRONIC CHANGE OF ADDRESSES, CHANGE OF NAME.
THAT IS ANOTHER THING THAT WE HAVE.
AND THE ONLINE, THE THING THAT IS ONLINE, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION ALSO GOES FOR CHANGES, WHICH YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE PRIOR TO DOING THE ONLINE BOOK REGISTRY ONLINE.
YOU WILL NOTICE WHEN YOU USE JUNK FOR 2018, THAT IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE SHOULD COMMISSION MAILED OUT THEIR CONFIRMATION.
THEY DO THAT PART TO EVERY GENERAL, LIKE, AND THEN THEY CHANGE THE STATUS UPDATES.
WHENEVER THEY GET THE CARDS IN THE MAIL, MOVE ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN RETURNED, OR THEY KEEP THEM IN THERE FOR SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M STILL HERE.
I STILL WANT TO BE REGISTERED AND THEY KEEP COMING BACK STRAIGHT.
THIS IS A FUN NIGHTMARE FOR US DURING REDISTRICTING, WE REVIEW THEM THROUGH THE CIS DEPARTMENT AND THE TOWNS ALSO SEND US ANNEXATIONS.
BUT THE LBS ALSO SEND US AN EVICTION NOTICES.
SO THEN IF SOMEBODY IS IN THE COUNTY AND ARE NOW IN ACTS, WE CAN GO INTO SYSTEM AND CHANGE IT.
THIS IS PASS US ROUTES UP THE STREET.
THIS THINKS THAT THE COWORKERS, THIS IS WHAT THE STAFF DOES AND FRANCE, WE GET IT FROM GIS.
WE MAKE IT LOOK ALL PRETTY AND EASY TO READ WITH THE ADDRESSES SHOWN THE DISTRICT INFORMATION HILTON HERE.
IT ALSO SHOWS THE WARDS IN THAT, THAT WASN'T VERY HELPFUL DURING THE EXECUTIVE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WORK ON USE ABOUT, UM, ON TO SAY HELENA ABOUT DISTRICT 1 21 AND 1 24.
[01:25:02]
SO THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL.WE ALSO PROVIDE A POOL WORKERS WITH MAPS TO OF THEIR PRECINCT ONLY THAT SHOWS.
AND I THINK IT ALSO SHOWS THE DISTRICT INFORMATION, BUT AT LEAST IT SHOWS THE STREETS, THE MAJOR STREETS AND EVERYTHING.
UM, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
YEAH, THAT'S DEFINITELY MORE DETAILED.
IF WE TRY TO PUT THAT ON THE MAP, YOU JUST HAVE A BLACK BAR, THE STREETS WE GET UPDATED.
USUALLY EVERY MONTH WE'LL GET A NOTIFICATION FROM THE GIS DEPARTMENT, BUT WE GO INTO THE SYSTEM AND UPDATE THEM EITHER BY THE DISTRICT OR ADD IN A NEW STREETS.
OR IF THE RANGES CHANGE, WE ALSO HAVE TO RESEARCH AT TIMES, CAUSE TIMES WE'LL HAVE NEW REGISTRATIONS OR CHANGE.
PATRICE'S COME BACK AS UNDELIVERED WITH A DIFFERENT ADDRESS OR WITH AN ADDRESS THAT'S NOT LISTED.
UM, LIKE TODAY WE JUST HAD ONE WHERE IT WAS A BRAND NEW SUBDIVISION.
THEY HADN'T EVEN BUILT A HOUSE YET.
AND THEY WERE TRYING TO REGISTER WITH THAT ADDRESS BECAUSE THERE IS GOING TO BE A HOUSE THERE THERE'S A LOT.
THEY HAVE A NUMBER IT'S JUST, IT WASN'T IN THE SYSTEM.
LOUIS THING IS LIKE MATH OR THE STREET THING THERE SHOWS IS THE DISTRICT INFORMATION.
AND TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE GET THE RIGHT PRECINCT, THE MAPS WE USE BECAUSE OF SMALL AREAS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO READ WHENEVER THEY'RE, UM, FOUR OR FIVE DISTRICTS IN A LOCATION NOW WHERE WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CORRECT AND THE FUN PART STORAGE RECORDS, WE MAINTAIN OUR RECORDS BY STORE KEEPING THE BUTTON REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.
AND THEN WE KEEP THE PREVIOUS YEAR ALSO ONE FILE AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE MOVED THE PREVIOUS YEARS AND PACK THEM UP TO SEND TO RECORDS MANAGEMENT.
NOW WE ALSO DO THAT FOR ALL ELECTION REGISTRATIONS, UM, ABSENTEE APPLICATIONS.
SO BALANCE AND VERNON HAS OTHER STUFF ALSO IN HIS LIKE TO SEALS AND THAT SORT OF STUFF.
WE ARE GOVERNED BY BUFORD COUNTY ORDINANCES, THE POLICY, THE STATE POLICIES, OR EXCUSE ME, STATE HALLS AND THE FEDERAL LAWS ON WHAT CAN BE DESTROYED OR KEPT.
FOR INSTANCE, VOTER REGISTRATION RECORDS ARE KEPT PERMANENTLY.
WE HAVE SOME FROM THE SIXTIES STILL, EVEN LONGER AND OTHER STUFF WE'RE ALLOWED TO DESTROY MY BALANCE AND THAT SORT OF THING.
WE DON'T JUST THROW THEM IN THE TRASH.
SOME OF IT IS MANDATED BY LAW.
HOW WILL YOU DESTROY THEM? AND SOME OF IT'S BY ORDINANCE.
I'M REALLY TRYING TO REMEMBER ON WHAT ALL WE DO THAT AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
THAT'S IT ON THAT FOR RECORD QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH.
I WONDER I HAVE ANOTHER PRIMARY.
THERE WAS A FOLDER ON THE APPLICATION FOR THE PRIMARY.
IT WAS SAID SHE SHOULD HAVE CHECKED SOMETHING TO PARTICIPATE IN GIRL.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS STRANGE THAT A TWO WEEK TURN AROUND BETWEEN THE PRIMARY AND THE RENTAL, BUT SHE DIDN'T CHECK THE RUNOFF ON THE APPLICATION.
SO SHE WASN'T ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RENAULT, BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIMARY.
LET ME GET AN ABSENTEE BALLOT APPLICATION.
USUALLY WHENEVER SOMEONE CALLS, WHY ASK,
[01:30:01]
IF YOU WANT TO RUN OFF ALSO YOUR BROWN PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY GET RUN OFF BALLOTS BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF IT.UM, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT SHE WASN'T ASKED OR DIDN'T SPECIFY.
UNFORTUNATELY THE TWO WEEKS TURNAROUND IS STATE LAW.
I'D LOVE IT IF WE COULD GIVE A MONTH OR MORE, BECAUSE IT'S EXTREMELY HARD.
UM, AND THEN THE NEW LAW JUST MADE IT TO WHERE THE DAY YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REQUEST A APPLICATION, THE DEADLINE IS ALSO THE DAY THAT A STATE CERTIFIED SO THAT DIDN'T HELP EITHER.
BUT WHAT SHE COULD HAVE DONE WAS GIVE WATER BUS AND LET US KNOW.
WE COULD HAVE TRIED TO MAIL, WENT OUT TO HER.
WHEN DID SHE DO THE ACTUAL APPLICATION? DO YOU REMEMBER? UM, IT WASN'T ME.
CAUSE WE WOULD HAVE NAILED HER DEDICATION FOR THE DO.
AND IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE ON THERE FOR NO RUNOFF, WE WOULDN'T HAVE MAILED.
AS SOON AS HE FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RUNOFF, SHE COULD GIVE US A CALL AND WE WOULD HAVE JUST, UM, SIT DOWN FOR A RUNOFF.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A SEPARATE APPLICATION UNLESS YOU DID NOT VOTE THE JUNE PRIMARY.
WE WOULDN'T GET THE SAME APPLICATIONS.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE LESS, BUT SHE DID NOT TAKE THE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THAT SHE DIDN'T CHECK THE RUNOFF ON THE APPLICATION.
AND THAT'S WHY, WHEN DID HE CALL? IT'S NOT THAT SHE COULDN'T PARTICIPATE.
SHE COULDN'T BECAUSE SHE COULD HAVE GONE TO THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY.
LIKE CHRIS SAID, THAT TURNAROUND TIME WAS ACTUALLY, IT WAS SO QUICK.
IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE WE KNEW IT, THE DEADLINE WAS, I THINK THE 17 AND FOR US TO MAIL IT, IT WAS A SHORT TERM VALANCE GUY.
WHEN PEOPLE WERE REQUESTING CHECK THAT BOX FOR RENTAL, YOU MET ON 688 ON A THURSDAY, THE SECOND DAY OF EARLY VOTING BECAUSE OF THE MAIL SYSTEM.
BUT BECAUSE OF ALSO TESTING THAT I GOT THE DATABASE ON A SATURDAY EVENING, TEST IT OUT ON SUNDAY, HAD THEM RETEST ON MONDAY WHILE OTHER PARTS OF IT.
THEN WE SENT ON MONDAY, WE SEND OUT THE INFORMATION OUT TO, WE HAD TO GET THE TEST DATES FROM THE COMPANY THAT WE USE.
SO YOU HAD, AS SOON AS THE TEST ESTIMATION, WE CAN LOOK PAST, WE'LL READ THAT'S A, THEY WERE OVERNIGHT ON MONDAY.
IT DIDN'T COME TUESDAY BECAUSE MAIL IN HALF.
SO HE HAD READ OPENING IN GAME WEDNESDAY, TESTING ALL DAY, WEDNESDAY, ALMOST BALANCE AND SENT OUT THE INFORMATION WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
AND THE MOUSE GOT ME ON THURSDAY, BUT ACTUALLY I DIDN'T GET THE TRACKING UNTIL ABOUT FRIDAY BECAUSE THEY MAIL IT OUT ON THAT THURSDAY MORNING.
BUT OF COURSE THE POSTAL SYSTEM DOESN'T HAVE THEIR PROBATION TILL TWO DAYS LATER.
SO MOST OF THE PEOPLE GOT IT BALANCING FROM SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
THAT'S IT, IT'S A QUICK TURNAROUND, BUT THE ONE OFF WITH THE NEW WHOLE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO TALK TO OUR LEGISLATORS ABOUT IS TRYING TO INCREASE THAT RUNOFF PERIOD FROM TWO WEEKS, AT LEAST 30 DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
OR FOUR WEEKS LATER, INSTEAD OF THAT'S A LOT TO GO ON WITHIN TWO WEEKS THAT IT'S REALLY NOT TWO LEADS BECAUSE THE STATE DON'T CERTIFY UNTIL TWO OR THREE DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION.
SO IT'S NOT REALLY AVAILABLE TO, AND
THEY DIDN'T GET BEERS UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING.
AND HOW LONG HAS IT, WHERE YOU HAVE TO RETURN THE BALLOT THAT DAY, ELECTION DAY BEFORE 7:00 PM.
THERE'S NO PROVISION EXCEPT FOR THE MILITARY.
UM, TO TURN IT IN BY MAIL I DAYS, TWO WEEKS OR WHATEVER, AFTER THE ELECTION, WE HAD A QUESTION
[01:35:02]
WE COME BACK AT 25[01:49:16]
WE[01:49:16]
ALL HAVE TO GET STARTED.UM, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE A PRETTY TIGHT SCHEDULE AND, UM, OUR LET'S SAY MEANT AS I DID THAT FIRST SET OF HANDOUTS YOU'VE HAD IS, UM, ON ELECTION DAY ISSUES.
THE NEXT SEGMENT WE HAVE IS ON ELECTION DAY ISSUES.
[01:50:01]
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES THAT GOES ON ON ELECTION DAY.SO I'M NOT SURE IF WE DON'T LIKE TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL OF THEM, BUT WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE MORE CHALLENGE, MORE CHALLENGING TO US, WHICH IS, UM, DO YOU LIKE WITH PROBATION ABOUTS, UM, EARLIER MR. WENTWORTH WAS TALKING ABOUT DOING THE VERIFICATION PROCESS.
UM, THIS ONE PHOTO WAS, UM, KIND OF LIKE CALLED OUT FOR NOT QUALIFYING.
WELL, THIS HAPPENED ALL DAY LONG.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT ON ELECTION DAY THAT PEOPLE COME TO THE POLLS, THEY COME TO CAST A BALLOT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THEIR, THEIR RIGHT IS TO CAST A BALLOT AND YOU KNOW, TO VOTE.
BUT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DON'T ALWAYS FOLLOW, UM, FOOTBALL.
AND SO TRYING TO PUT MEASURES IN PLACE TO TRY AND COMBAT THAT.
AND UM, SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND, NOT JUST Y'ALL KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT FAIL SAFELY, JUST FAIL SAFE.
I THINK IT, WHEN IT'S US DO IT ALL THE TIME, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT TO THE POLL WORKERS AND GET THEM TO ALWAYS UNDERSTAND WHAT FAIL SAFE VOTING IS, IT'S KIND OF COMPLICATED BECAUSE THERE ARE OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THAT, UM, YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO APPLY WHEN A VOTER FAILS TO CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
AND I MUST SAY BEFORE THE BOOKS ARE CLOSED, THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA ALLOW YOU TO REGISTER TO VOTE AND PARTICIPATE IN ANY ELECTION.
IF YOU DO THAT 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ELECTION.
SO THE SAME THING GOES FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOVING AND CHANGING THEIR PRESSES.
IDEALLY, IF THEY CHANGED THOSE ADDRESS, WE AT LEAST SAY 30 DAYS BEFORE, BUT TYPICALLY IF THEY COULD DO AT LEAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION, BEFORE THE BOOK CLOSES, THE BOOK ACTUALLY CLOSES 30 DAYS BEFORE, BUT WE HAVE A LITTLE GRACE PERIOD THAT WE USE TO KIND OF LIKE GET CAUGHT UP, TO GET EVERYTHING IN THE SYSTEM BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY SHIP OUT.
AND ONCE THEY SHUT IT DOWN, UM, CHANGING AN ADDRESS IS NOT ALL THAT EASY.
I SHOULDN'T SAY IT'S NOT, IT'S EASY TO CHANGE IT, BUT WILL IT BE UPDATED IN THE SYSTEM, UM, IN ORDER FOR YOU TO BE IN THE CORRECT PRECINCT BEFORE ELECTION DAY.
BUT YOU KNOW, THE LAW SAYS THAT IN ORDER FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ELECTION OR ANY ELECTION, YOU MUST BE REGISTERED IN YOUR COUNTY AND YOU MUST BE REGISTERED IN THE FREE SAYING, AND YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT YOU IN THAT PRECINCT, IN THE DISTRICTS THAT YOU ARE ASSIGNED TO.
NOW, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN UPDATED ADDRESS, YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF.
YOU MAY FIND THEMSELVES IN A POSITION WHERE THEY ARE IN A DISTRICT WAY OF PEOPLE THAT THAT'S NOT REPRESENTED BY THE PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO VOTE FOR.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHEREVER YOU LIVE, THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE, AND YOU DO NOT CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS IN THE VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM.
THOSE THAT THAT DRESS THAT YOU HAVE IN THE VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM IS YOUR LEGITIMATE ADDRESS TO VOTE.
SO EVEN AS YOU MOVE ACROSS TOWN AND YOU MAY HAVE BEEN GONE FOR THREE MONTHS, YOU MAY HAVE BEEN GONE FOR THREE YEARS, BUT IF YOU NEVER CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS IN THE VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM, WE CAN ONLY RECOGNIZE THE ADDRESS THAT'S BENEFICIAL IN THE VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM.
SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE FAIL-SAFE VOTING ON ELECTION NAMES.
AND, BUT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHEN NOT AND HOW TO CORRECT THAT ON ELECTION DAY.
SO WE HAVE FAIL-SAFE VOTING FELL ASLEEP HOLDINGS, UM, OFF OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE, LIKE I SAID, WHO FEELS TO COMPLETE, UM, THE ADDRESS WE, WHENEVER WE TALKED TO THE MEDIA, WELL, WE PUBLISH AN ANNOUNCEMENT OR SOMETHING.
WE TRIED TO STRESS THE VOTERS, PLEASE GET YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION UPDATED.
AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO CHANGING THE UNREST WITH THE VOTER REGISTRATION.
THEY'LL GO TO DMV TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS AT MOTOR
[01:55:01]
VEHICLES AND MOTOR VEHICLE.ONE SENT US INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS CHANGE, OKAY? BUT YOU MUST CHECK THE BOX TO SAY, YOU WANT TO DO THAT.
IF YOU DON'T, IF YOU DON'T CHECK THAT BOX, THE SAME THING IS REGISTERING TO VOTE.
YOU CAN REGISTER THROUGH DMV, BUT IF YOU DON'T CHECK THE BOX AND SAY, I WANT TO BE A REGISTERED VOTER IN BUFORD COUNTY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET REGISTERED TO VOTE.
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERY VOTER UNDERSTAND THEY, OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO GET YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION FILES UPDATED, UH, AS FAR IN ADVANCE BEFORE THE ELECTION STOCKS.
BECAUSE ONCE THE BOOK CLOSES, WE CAN'T CHANGE IT.
I SHOULDN'T SAY WE CAN'T CHANGE IT.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO CHECK.
ON ELECTION DAYS, WHEN YOU UPLOADED A FAIL, SAFE OUT FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO MOVE WITH OUR COUNTY, THEY MOVED FROM HILTON HERE.
THEN WE HAD A LOT OF THIS DUDE IN THE PRIMARY, THEY MOVED FROM HILTON TO 12TH, OR THEY MOVED FROM BLUFFTON TO FIELDS.
AND THEY FAILED TO UPDATE THE ADDRESS.
WELL, THAT PERSON SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO VOTE.
BUT THEY MUST VOTE AT THE PRECINCT WHERE THEY GOT REGISTERED.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS LAW.
SOME OF THEM DO YOU SEE FAIL, SAFE BALANCE, NOT BE COUNTED.
BUT THE LAW DOES SAY THAT YOU MUST VOTE AT THE PRECINCT WHERE YOU ARE REGISTERED.
SO GOING TO YOUR NEW PRECINCT, THAT'S IN YOUR NEW NEIGHBORHOOD.
DOES IT QUALIFY FOR THE VOTE IF YOU'VE NOT REGISTERED THERE? SO IF YOU GO TO THAT PRECINCT AND VOTE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU REGISTERED, LEAVING,
GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THAT FOLDER.
YOU KNOW, NORMALLY MENTIONED, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ALL THEIR CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT BECAUSE A FAIL-SAFE BALLOT IS A STRIPPED DOWN BALLOT.
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY DISTRICT INFORMATION ON IT.
WHO CAN TELL ME WHAT'S ON TAPE.
THEY'LL SAY ABOUT VOLUNTEERS, SMARTER COUNTYWIDE AND STATEWIDE COUNTY WIDE AND STATE AND FEDERAL LINES.
SO WHICH MEANS HOUSE RACES WILL NOT BE ON FIELD SEAT.
BALLOT COUNTY COUNCIL RACES WILL NOT BE ON THE FIELD, SAFE SCHOOL BOARD RACES.
WHEN THAT COMES, WE'LL NOT BE ON A FAIL, SAFE BALLOT.
THOSE ARE JUST RACIST PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THOSE DISTRICTS, UM, REPRESENT YOU WHERE YOU LIVE.
AND SO IF YOU GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTY AND YOU TELL THE POLL MANAGER THAT YOU NOW LIVE ON HILTON HEAD, YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE BOAT FROM THAT.
UH, HOW'S 1 21, OR HOW'S THE ONE 18 OR COUNTY COUNCIL, THE LEVEL OF COUNTY COUNCIL TELL SCHOOL BOARD.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE VOTE FOR THOSE OFFICES, BUT THAT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU.
OR YOU CAN COME TO THE OFFICE WITH GENERAL.
WHAT IS CALLED SIR ON ELECTION DATE, ONLY ONE ELECTION MADE AND VOTE A FAIL-SAFE OUT, WHICH WILL BE A FULL, OKAY.
WE CAN CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS AT THE OFFICE AND ALLOW YOU TO VOTE.
THE OTHER PART THAT IS ON ELECTION DAY, THAT IS THE ONLY REASON YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A VOTER COME TO THE OFFICE.
I SAID, YOU GO BACK AND BUILD THE IMPLANTATION IN BOTH.
IF THAT'S WHERE THE MAN WAS SHOWING UP ON THE BOAT AND THEY SIT OVER HERE, I DON'T HAVE TIME.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU CAN'T ALLOW THEM TO VOTE THERE WITHOUT DOING, UM, PROVISIONAL BALLOT.
IT WOULD BE A, IT WON'T BE A FAIL SAFE NOW BECAUSE THE FAIL SAFE FOLLOWUP, UH, FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THAT PRECINCT AND POPE, HE IS VOTING OUTSIDE HIS PRECINCT.
[02:00:01]
MEANS IT'S A PROVISIONAL BALLOT.WELL, WHY? BECAUSE HE IS NOT IN THE PRECINCT WHERE HE IS REGISTERED ON THE IMAGE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS.
YOU UNDERSTAND, EVERYBODY MOVES AROUND AND THEY COME TO FOR LIKE A MONTH.
THEY DON'T USUALLY GO BACK TO THEIR OWN PRIESTS.
I KNOW YOU TOLD THEM THAT LOVES THEM.
I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME ON GRADE.
AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY VOTERS HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOME OF IT.
I THINK MOST OF YOUR DONORS AND FOOT PROVISIONAL FAIL SAFE AND I'M NOT SURE I DID, BUT THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY.
NOW THE FAIL SAFE IS A PROBATIONAL VAL.
AND WHEN I SAY COMPLETE NOW, THINK OF PROFESSIONAL AS AN OPTION.
WHEN WE USE EMERGENCY SLASH PROVISIONAL, THOSE BALLOTS ARE USEFUL EMERGENCY SITUATION AND OR CHALLENGE FOLDERS.
FAIL SAFE FOR VISUAL IS A VALID THAT IS PROVIDED BECAUSE OF A SITUATION THAT EXISTS, FORGOT TO CHANGE THAT ADDRESS BEFORE ELECTIONS.
AND WE ARE ALLOWING THEM TO THE LAWS ARE, IS ALLOWING THEM TO VOTE UP ABOUT IT, BUT NOT WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE NORMALLY GOTTEN IN THERE IF THEY HAD CHANGED THE ADDRESS.
SO A FAIL SAFE, VALID IS LET'S SIT DOWN BALLOT THAT ONLY HAVE FEDERAL WIDE COUNTYWIDE STATEWIDE.
AND IF IT'S SOMEONE THAT'S A FULL ELECTION, WHEN THERE'S A FULL WIDE OFFICES ON IT, OKAY, THEY WON'T GET ANY OF THE DISTRICT RACES LIKE THIS.
YOU KNOW, COUNTY COUNCIL SCHOOL, ONE HOUSE, 1 21, EVEN A SENATORIAL RACE THEY WON'T GET.
AND THE REASON THEY WON'T GET IT, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT THAT YOU REGISTERED A VOTE ON, UM, YOU NO LONGER LIVE IN THEIR DISTRICT SO YOU CAN VOTE FOR THEM.
BUT EVERYBODY GETS TO VOTE FOR THOSE THINGS.
NOW FEDERAL LAW, WHICH IS WHAT THE PRINCIPLE THAT YOU DON'T MATTER, WHERE YOU LIVE.
EVERYBODY GETS TO VOTE FOR THE SHERIFF.
WHY IT'S A COUNTY LINE, EVERYBODY GET THE BOOK, EVERYBODY GET THE VOTE FOR THE GOVERNOR BECAUSE THAT'S A STATEWIDE.
IT DON'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE.
SO THOUGH, IF THAT'S A MAP OF WHERE YOU LIVE, COULD, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE FOR THE COUNTY, FEDERAL AND STATE POTTY ELECTION.
IT ONLY MATTERS FOR THOSE DISTRICT RACES.
SO WE HAVE TO ENCOURAGE, UH, VOTERS TO OFFICIALLY CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS SO THAT WHEN THEY GO TO THE PRECINCTS ON ELECTION DAY, THERE WON'T HAVE THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES.
WE HAVE, WE HAVE TO SEND THEM FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE OTHER.
AND ON ELECTION DAY, THE ONLY THING THAT WE DO AT THE OFFICE, I SHOULDN'T SAY THE ONLY THING THAT WE DO.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO AT THE OFFICE ON ELECTION DAY IS FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO COME AND CHANGE THE ADDRESSES, WE CAN'T DO A PROVISIONAL BALLOT THERE.
WE CAN'T SAY, OH, THIS PERSON, THE LINE IS TOO LONG AT THAT PRECINCT.
SO I'M GOING TO GO TO THE OFFICE TO VOTE.
UNFORTUNATELY, ON ELECTION DAY, THE WAY THE LAW IS WRITTEN, YOU HAVE TO VOTE AT YOUR PRECINCT ON ELECTION DAY WHEN YOU'RE NOT WHERE YOU LIVE, WHERE YOU ARE REGISTERED.
AND THAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT VOTERS UNDERSTAND.
AND WE TRY AND GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO VOTERS.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DO AS WELL.
WHEN YOU GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS, MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE, UM, THE ELECTION IS ON NOVEMBER THE EIGHTH.
PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION IS UPDATED.
PLEASE MAKE SURE IF YOU MOVE THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR ADDRESSES SO THAT THE VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM, I MEAN THE VOTER REGISTRATION OFFICE COULD GET YOU IN THE RIGHT PRECINCT.
I THINK ONE OF THE THING THAT CONFUSES THE HOMEWORKERS AND WORK IS THE PROVISIONAL BALLOT SAYS PROVISIONAL SLASH EMERGENCY.
THAT IS A FULL, THE OTHER ONE SAYS COMPUTERS, YOU GO TO SLASH SAFE.
AND, AND WE SAY, THEY ALL SAY, THEY BOTH SAY PROVISIONAL ONE.
THAT'S WHAT SCREW PEOPLE UP THAT ACTUAL PROVISIONAL BALLOT IS A FULL BALLOT.
THAT FEUD FOR DIFFERENT SITUATIONS.
IT'S CALLED EMERGENCY SLASH PROBATIONAL.
IT'S USED FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.
AND IT'S REALLY USED FOR THOSE PEOPLE.
THE TWO REASONS THAT WE USE THE EMERGENCY SLASH PROVISIONAL BALLOT AND IT'S WRITTEN AT THE TOP OF THE BALLOT.
[02:05:01]
SO POLL WORKERS WILL NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT.THEY SAID, YOU VOTED IN AT TAPE.
HE SAID, NO, I HAD, THAT WAS MY FATHER.
I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT.
AND HE VOTED A PROBATION BECAUSE WE COULDN'T VERIFY THAT HE WAS THE RIGHT PERSON OR BECAUSE THE POLL MANAGER PULLED UP THE WRONG PERSON, EARLY BUGGY.
THEY CHECKED HIM AND I LOOKED AND I SAID, AND IT WAS JUST A MISTAKE.
YOU GOT A SON AS I'M HAVING THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, CHEERING ON MY SON.
SO PROBATIONAL, OH, THE PROBATIONAL EMERGENCY SLASH PROBATIONAL ISSUE.
LET'S JUST SLOW THIS RIGHT NOW.
THE ONE LET'S SAY, UM, UM, FAIL-SAFE SLASH PROBATION.
AND REMEMBER THE PROVISIONAL PART IS JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN OPTION.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWING THE VOTERS TO VOTE ON VOTING ISSUE, BUT YOU ARE GIVING THEM AN OPTION TO POST AGAIN, IF YOU WANTED TO USE, EXCUSE US FOR TECHNICAL BREAK CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? ALL RIGHT.
SO FAIL SAFE SLASH PERMISSION IS USED FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE, UM, WHO FORGOT TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS FOR SOME REASON ON AND, OR, UM, WELL, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, BUT THEY DO GET A STRIPPED OUT BALLOT.
AND WHO WANTS TO VOTE A STRIPPED DOWN BALLOT? WELL, YOU MENTIONED IT.
SO WE HAVE TO TRAIN OUR CO-WORKERS TO KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW THEIR OPTIONS.
IF THEY GO BACK TO THEIR PRECINCT ON ELECTION DAY TO VOTE A FAIL-SAFE OUT, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET A FULL BALLOT, BUT IF THEY GO TO THE OFFICE, THEY WANT TO GET A FULL FILE BECAUSE THE OFFICE HAD THE CAPABILITY OF CHANGING THEIR ADDRESS FOR THEM AND ALLOWING THEM TO FLOAT ON THE HOLIDAY MACHINE.
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO VOTE A PAPERBACK.
AND THAT'S WHEN WE LOAD THOSE RESULTS.
ON ELECTION NIGHT, WE HAVE A SECTION JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO VOTED PROVISIONAL BALLOTS.
OKAY? SO THEY BOUTS WILL BE SHOWING UP AS A SEPARATE COLUMN ON ELECTION DAY, JUST LIKE ABSENTEES AND AT THE PRECINCT, UM, VOTERS, WE HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB LOOKING INTO HOW POLL MANAGERS DON'T DOING THAT ON ELECTION DAY.
UM, NOW IN THE RUNOFF ELECTION, IF Y'ALL CAN RECALL, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FAIL SAFE NOW, BUT WE HAVE VOTED.
WE HAD, UM, POLL MANAGERS WHO WAS TRYING TO MAKE A FAIL, SAFE BALLOT OUT OF THE PROVISIONAL PURPOSE.
THEY WERE NOT, THEY WERE NOT AT THE FREEZING.
WE DIDN'T SEND OUT ANY, UH, FAIL-SAFE ABOUT WHY YOU THINK, BECAUSE WE CAN CHANGE THAT, CHANGE THE ADDRESS RIGHT THERE.
IF WE'RE ALL STATEWIDE OFFICES THAT WERE FORMED ABOUT ALL STATEWIDE OFFICE.
AND SO IT DIDN'T MATTER WHERE YOU VOTED, IT
[02:10:01]
DIDN'T MATTER.I SHOULDN'T SAY THAT BECAUSE IT DOES.
NOW, IF YOU HAD GONE TO YOUR PRECINCT AND YOU, UM, NEEDED TO CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS, ALL YOU NEEDED TO DO WAS TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS AND CALL THE OFFICE.
WE CAN ELECTRONICALLY CHANGE THAT ADDRESS FOR YOU.
AND ALLOW THAT PERSON TO VOTE.
WE DON'T RECOMMEND THAT WHAT WE YOU TO DO ON ELECTION DAY WHEN THERE IS NO FAIL SAFE.
NOW AT THE PRESENT, YOU CAN ONLY GO TO THE OFFICE AND BOTH.
SO ALL, I THINK WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE WHO VOTED A FAIL SCHOOL, WANTING TO VOTE TO FAIL SAFE.
NOW YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE, ON THE WALL BECAUSE THERE WERE NO FAIL, SAFE OUT APPLICATION.
IT FEELS SAFE OUT OF THE OFFICE, ON THE PHONE.
AND THE REASON WHY WE DON'T RECOMMEND DOING IT THE OTHER WAY.
BECAUSE ONCE THEY CHANGED IT AND DRESSED, WHO KNOWS WHAT PRECINCT THEY WERE GOING TO END THAT DAY.
SO THAT'S WHY WE REFER THEM TO THE OFFICE.
WELL, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO THE OFFICE.
I THINK WE HAD SEVERAL, UM, COME TO THE OFFICE AND CHANGE THE ADDRESS.
AND THEY'LL SAY, AND THE OTHER THING, AND I KNOW MR. UH, MR. HEWITT, HE USED TO BE ON THE BOARD.
HE WOULD ALWAYS ARGUE IN SITUATION LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW, WHY WOULD JUST LET THEM VOTE HERE OR OVER, DOWN IN THE BOOK? WELL, THE PERCENTAGES ON THE NUMBERS IN THAT PARTICULAR PRECINCT HAVE TO BE RIGHT.
THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO VOTE IN YOUR PIECE AND NOT YOU AND SAY EVERYBODY, SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF IT.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, BUT THAT'S WHY, BECAUSE THOSE NUMBERS HAVE TO BE RIGHT IN THAT PRECINCT OR WHATEVER.
AND YOU CAN'T REALLY, HOW CAN YOU SET SOMEBODY UP TO VOTE WHEN THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T PULL THEM UP TO VOTE.
THAT'S THE THING TO LOOK AT BEHIND THAT.
NOT THE OTHER OPTIONS WILL FEEL SAFE VOTING.
THE PHOTO COMES TO US FROM ANOTHER COUNTY.
THE ONLY TIME THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE, ALMOST REGISTER AND PULL IT AT THE SAME TIME.
IF THEY MOVE FROM ANOTHER COUNTY TO OUR COUNTY WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THAT ELECTION.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT'S NOT, IT'S ALMOST LIKE SAYING THE REGISTRATION, BUT THAT VOTER PLUS VERIFY THAT THEY MOVED FROM JASPER COUNTY TO BE USED FOR COUNTY IN THE, WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEY CAN COME TO THE OFFICE.
WE WILL REGISTER THEM TO VOTE AND ALLOW THEM TO VOTE.
IT MUST BE WITHIN THAT 30 DAY TIMEFRAME.
AND THEN PROVE THAT WITH A LEASE OR A MORTGAGE DOCUMENT, THEY PROVED THAT WITH YEAH.
THEY HAVE TO SHOW US PROOF THAT THEY JUST MOVED TO HOW DO YOU CHECK THE PICTURE? THEY WERE REGISTERED.
IF THEY WERE REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, WE KNOW, UM, VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEM IS STATEWIDE.
SO THAT'S WHY WHEN WE DO OUR THAT'S ABOUT WHEN WE DO OUR, UH, INVESTIGATION FOR, FOR THE CAMPUS, WE CAN TELL Y'ALL WHERE POLICE PHOTOS CAME FROM.
WE CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS PHONE WAS REGISTERED IN COLUMBIA COUNTY.
WE CAN TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A RECORD OF ALL WHILE THEY WERE REGISTERED IN SOUTH CAROLINA, WE HAVE THE ITEM INFORMATION.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S HOW YOU DON'T HAVE IT.
YOU DON'T HAVE
AND WE DO THE INVESTIGATION
[02:15:28]
THOSE WERE THE TWO OPTIONS.SO THIS IS A LITTLE DIAGRAM, A FAIL SAFE FOR ME.
IF THEY MOVE WITHIN THE COUNTY, JUST IMAGINE I GOT JASPER COUNTY IN BUFORD COUNTY AND THE LITTLE BLUE DOTS IS THE BOULDER THAT VOTER NOW, AND P TWO, WHICH IS PRECINCT NUMBERS.
THEY EITHER ACCURATELY, THEY LIVE IN PRECINCT.
NUMBER FIVE, THEY HAVE TO GO TO PRECINCT NUMBER TWO, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE REGISTERED ALL GO TO THE OFFICE TO VOTE.
AND THIS ONE CAME FROM JASPER COUNTY.
THEY CAN GO BACK TO JASPER COUNTY AND BOTH OFF, THEY CAN COME TO THE OFFICE.
AND THIS IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT REALLY THE MOTORS.
AND WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM JASPER COUNTY COMING OVER HERE BECAUSE RIGHT.
UM, JESSE, AND WHAT'D, THEY CALL IT, THEY MOVED BACK AND FORTH.
AND THEN I'LL, UM, PRECINCT, NOT PRECINCT LINE, BUT BOUNDARY LINES BETWEEN JASPER AND BUFORD.
AND SO ENTRY RIGHT UP IN THAT AREA HAVE SNAKE ROAD AND ALL OF THAT.
UM, WE, WE EXCHANGE VOTERS WITH JASPER COUNTY ALL THE TIME.
THEY ON YOUR SIDE OF THE LINE, BUT THE VOTERS THINK THAT THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT COUNTY WHEN THEY REALLY LIVE IN JASPER COUNTY.
SO WE GO THROUGH THAT A LOT WITH THAT.
SO LIKE, UM, WE ALL FOLLOW OUR FAVORITE THINGS.
UM, THIS IS CALLED A PROVISIONAL BALLOT.
ENVELOPE IS USED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING CHALLENGED BECAUSE OF THEIR QUALIFICATION.
AND IT'S USED FOR FAILS, LIKE AS WELL, MANAGERS NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SUPPORT MEMBERS.
WHEN YOU GO TO THE PRECINCT, GOT INFLECTION BAY, CHECK YOUR PROBATION OF OUR OFFLOADS.
MAKE SURE THAT IT'S FILLED OUT COMPLETELY, YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS ANYBODY ELSE THAT IF THESE THINGS ARE NOT FILLED OUT COMPLETELY, IT WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE HOT BURN ON A CAMPUS TIME.
SO WHAT WE WANT TO TRY AND MINIMIZE IS INCOMPLETE FORMS. INCOMPLETE ENVELOPES.
THESE APPLES ARE PROVIDED TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO, UH, ARE DOING A PAPER BALLOT AND NOT VOTING ON THE MACHINE.
WE ALLOWING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW WHY.
SO THE TOP SECTION OF THE BOWL OF THE ENVELOPE IS BEING COMPLETED BY THE POLL MANAGER.
EVERY PHOTO THAT FILLS ONE OUT, OKAY, IT'S NOT A SELF IT'S FOR ALL.
AND POLL MANAGERS ARE THE ONE THAT'S DOING THAT, NOT THE VOTER, RIGHT FOR FAIL-SAFE ONLY MEANS TO FILL OUT THE TOP SECTION AND SECTION EIGHT, WHAT VESSEL, UH, IS, UH, AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE OF THE POLL OF THE BOULDER, AUTHORIZING US TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS.
WE CANNOT CHANGE A VOTER ADDRESS BY EMAIL.
IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING SIGNED.
AND I NEED YOU TO CHANGE MY ADDRESS AND MY VOTER REGISTRATION.
FRANKLY, WE GET THEM ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN WE GET IT, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO, WE SEND THEM A FORM THAT THEY NEED TO PHYSICALLY SIGN, AUTHORIZING US TO CHANGE IT.
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THAT JUST NEED TO PUT THE BALLOT AFTER THE BALLOT, THIS COMPANY AND LEON FLOWS AND SEAL IT.
BUT IT MUST HAVE, MUST BE A FAIL, SAFE OUT.
I KNOW VOTERS DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, BUT POLL MANAGERS NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIELD SLEEP SLASH PROBATIONAL AND THE EMERGENCY SLASH PROVISIONAL, RIGHT? THE EMERGENCY SLASH PROVISIONAL.
IT'S NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE AND YOU CAN'T JUST, AND WE HAVE ALL OF THOSE SALAD LABELS.
THEY COME IN OUR ENVELOPE JUST
[02:20:01]
TO HAVE ONE.THEY COME IN AN ALCOHOL, THIS AND EACH ONE OF THEM IS LABELED WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A FAIL SAFE BALANCE OR PROVISIONAL.
THIS ONE I THINK IS EMERGENCY PROVISION ABOUT WILL BE STUCK ON THE FRONT OF IT.
AND THEY ALL SEPARATED OR IS IT NOT A GOOD WORD? BUT IT'S LIKE, THEY ALL LABELED.
AND AT THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER, IT WILL HAVE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A FAIL SAFE VERSUS LIKE EMERGENCY PROBATION.
ONE ARE DOING THEN THAT MR. CLIFFORD'S INDIAN STUFF, THE STUFF SHOULD BE PLACED.
YOU CAN PLACE THE STUFF IN THE LIBERAL BLACK BOX, OR YOU CAN PLACE THE STUB IN THE BIG BALLOT BOX.
WE GOT TO PULL THEM OUT ANYWAY.
SO WE CAN COME UP WITH, WHAT DO YOU PREFER IN THE LITTLE BLACK BALLOT BOX OR THE PAPER BALLOT BOX? THE LITTLE ONE.
SO IT'S LITTLE ONE FROM NOW ON.
WE HAVE TO VERIFY THAT ALL THE BALLOTS THAT NETWORK ISSUED HAVE A STUB SO THAT WE CAN SAY
ONE OF THE THINGS YOU READ ON, ON, ON, UM, WELL, WHENEVER YOU FILL OUT THE DIVISIONAL, YOUR MEMBER, WE USED TO HAVE THE BORDER DO IT.
YOU HELP THEM, BUT NOW YOU'RE DOING IT OR COWORKERS DOING IT.
IF YOU LOOK UP THERE IN THE BLACK SECTION ON THE FIRST PART WITH INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO PUT IN, IT SAYS AS REGISTERED, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU PUT THAT THEY'RE NOT WHERE THEY LIVE NOW, BUT WHERE IT SAYS IT IN THE SYSTEM, BECAUSE THAT LETS US KNOW THAT THERE'S A CHANGE WHEN YOU DO IT IN A, IF YOU PUT THE TAPE THING FOR A AND THE SAME THING UP THERE, IT'S NOT A CHANGE OF ADDRESS FORM ANYMORE.
IF I SAY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, IT SAYS AS REGISTERED.
SO WHATEVER YOU SEE IN THE SYSTEM, THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO GO IN THAT TOP SECTION IS BAR THE INFORMATION FOR THAT MOWER.
SO JUST REMEMBER TO DO THAT OR FIND HIM TO DO THAT.
UM, ONE, WHENEVER YOU DO THE PRECINCT POLLING PLACE, PLEASE PUT MORE AND JUST TO A NEW FOR, AND SECONDLY, PRINT READABLE.
THE SCRIPT IS BEAUTIFUL FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS, BUT WE GOTTA BE ABLE TO READ THIS STUFF IN THE MORNING.
RIGHT? BUT YES, WE, WE, WE EXPRESSED THAT IS, UM, TRYING TO FRED NEATLY SO THAT YOU KNOW, YOUR HANDWRITING.
AND THAT'S WHY WE STOPPED OLDER IS FROM I'M GLAD THINGS DON'T REQUIRE THE BOATERS TO DO IT ANYMORE.
WE WANT POLL WORKERS TO DO IT BECAUSE, UM, THE MOTORS DON'T GET THE WHOLE STORY, BUT THE POLL WORKERS, WE TELL HIM THEM IN OUR TRAINING THAT YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THE, UM, THE TOP SECTION AND YOU NEED THE PRINT.
AND WE TELL THEM EVERY ELECTIONS, IT'S NOT YOUR PRECISE IS NOT JUST TO PAINT
SO THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF FAILING TO CORRECT INFLAMMATION.
AND OF COURSE THEY WILL GET THAT INFORMATION AGAIN.
NOW, UM, SECTION B UM, UH, UM, PROVISIONAL BALLOT ENVELOPE IS USED FOR THOSE VOTERS WHO QUALIFICATION IS CHALLENGED.
LIKE THE INCIDENT THAT MR. WETTERAU TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, ALL RIGHT.
THEY NEED TO BE IN THE PRECINCT WHERE THEIR NAME IS ON THE BOOK OR IN THE, UM, THE EBOLA.
ALRIGHT, THIS TOP SECTION IS GOING TO BE COMPLETED FOR EVERY SITUATION, THE VOTER'S NAME.
WE SHOULDN'T BE GETTING A WHITE PROVISIONAL BALLOT ENVELOPE FOR NO REASON.
WE WON'T KNOW WHO TO CREDIT ABOUT TO EMPATHY.
YOU KNOW, IF IT'S, SO WE NEED TO GET COMPLETE INFORMATION, NOT REGISTERED NAME, LEGAL REGISTER NAME.
SO READ THE SECTION VOTER QUALIFICATION CHALLENGE.
IF OUR CALL WORKERS, UH, ARE DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, THEY MAKE MOST OF THE CHALLENGES IT'S BEING CHALLENGED BY THE POLL WORKERS.
[02:25:01]
THAT THEY UNDOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.VERY SELDOM A CHALLENGE FROM A POLL WATCHER OR A POLL WATCHER TO A MANAGER OR POP BY ANOTHER VOTER TO A MANAGER.
VERY SELDOM IT'S USUALLY THE MANAGERS THAT ARE CHALLENGING THE VOTER, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
THEY ARE GOING THROUGH POST PROCESS AND DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
BUT WE HAVE A LIST OF REASONS HERE WHY THEY MAY BE CHALLENGED.
AND ONE OF THEM IS, IS THAT THEY ARE INCORRECT PRICING.
OKAY? AND THAT'S A LEGITIMATE REASON TO CHALLENGE A VOTER AND GIVE THEM A PAPER ABOUT ALL THIS IS DOING AND SAY THAT I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY, BUT POLL WORKERS AND, AND EVEN YOU IN THE, IN THE FIELD AS AN INDIVIDUAL MANAGER, I MEAN, AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER CANNOT RULE ON A BALLOT AT THE PRECINCT.
IT CAN ONLY BE RULED BY THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT BALLOT IS GOING TO COUNT OR NOT COUNT MR. WENTWORTH.
THIS GOES TO WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
PORT ROYAL PEOPLE, NOT WANTING TO GO BACK TO HILTON HEAD.
THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD DO THAT IN THE B SECTION, BUT YOU DON'T THAT'S YOU CAN'T TELL THEM THAT.
BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN'T RULE AS AN OFFICIAL BOARD MEMBER.
YOU CAN GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE AND THEN IT COMES BACK TO THE BOARD AND THE BOARD WILL MAKE THAT DECISION.
YOU ALMOST KNOW IT, BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T WANT YOU TO TRY AND TAKE THAT WHOLE BURDEN ON YOUR SHOULDERS BY YOURSELF BECAUSE THE WAY THE LAW IS WRITTEN, YOU CANVAS THE VOTES AND, UM, YOU CERTIFY THE ELECTION, BUT IT MUST BE THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD DOING THAT.
SO THAT'S ALL THEY NEED TO FEEL OUT ON THIS PALETTE.
I MEAN, ON THIS ENVELOPE AND THEY GET OUT OF THE CHALLENGE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO FLIP IT OVER AND SIGN THE BACK OF IT.
THEY JUST NEED TO FILL OUT THE TOP INFORMATION IN SECTION B, IF IT'S NOT A FAIL SAFE, DON'T MESS WITH SECTION EIGHT.
IT'S JUST SECTION PROP SECTION IN SECTION B.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS THE BACK OF THE ENVELOPE.
AND THIS SECTION C IS USED FOR THOSE VOTERS SINCE THEY GOT TO BRING THEIR ID, WE DON'T GET A WHOLE LOT OF THESE.
THEY KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO, TO BRING TO THE PRECINCT, UM, IN ORDER TO QUALIFY, BECAUSE THAT'S A QUALIFYING, UM, THING IN ORDER FOR YOU TO VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, YOU HAVE TO PRESENT A PHOTO ID.
SO, BUT SOME PEOPLE MAY JUST, FOR SOME REASON, WALK OUT THE HOUSE, THEY HAVE THEIR WALLET OR PERSONAL WHENEVER AND GET TO THE PRECINCT AND REALIZE THEY DON'T HAVE IT.
AND I ALWAYS SAY, THIS IS WHERE YOUR GRETA WILL COME INTO PLAY BECAUSE THE GRETA WILL ASK THEM THAT QUESTION AFTER DOOR IS WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE THEIR PHOTO ID, KNOWING THAT THEY CANNOT VOTE, UM, ON THE VOTING MACHINE WITHOUT PRESENTING A PHOTO AT THE SERVICE STATION TABLE TO GET QUALIFIED, TO VOTE IN THE PERFECTLY.
SO, HEY, THAT PERSON SAYS, I DO HAVE ONE.
I CAN'T GO BACK HOME AND GET IT BECAUSE I'M RUNNING LATE FOR WORK, BUT CAN I STILL VOTE? YES, THEY CAN.
BUT THEY NEED TO VOTE PAPER ABOUT WHY THEIR BALLOT IS BEING CHALLENGED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PRESENT ALL THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEEDED TO PRESENT TO QUALIFY, WHICH IS THAT PHOTO ID IS ONE OF THEM, RIGHT? SO THEY GET, FILL THIS SECTION OUT.
UM, WE CHECK AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN ORDER FOR THAT BALLOT TO COUNT IS BEFORE ELECTION DAY, COME TO THE OFFICE, BRING THAT PHOTO ID WITH YOU.
WHAT OTHER STAFF WOULD NEED TO BE THERE? THEY CAN GO TO THE BLUFFTON OFFICE.
WE WILL HAVE THE HILTON OFFICE.
WE WON'T BE IN SOME HOUSE AND WE WILL BE AT THE BEACH FOR OFFICE.
WE NEED TO LOOK AT THEM AND THEIR ID TO VERIFY JUST LIKE THE POOL MANAGER WOULD HAVE ON ELECTION DAY TO VERIFY THAT THAT PERSON DID RETURN.
AND EITHER ONE OF THE OUTLINE OFFICES WILL CALL BACK TO THE MAIN OFFICE, BUT THEY'VE GOT TO DO IT BEFORE THEY MEET PAUL AT THE THERE'S NO PAIRING AT THE CAMPUS HERE.
IF THEY DON'T DO THAT BEFORE, THEN, THEN GUESS WHAT? THEY DON'T QUALIFY THAT BALLOT CAN NOT COUNT.
SO THEY COME TO THE OFFICE
[02:30:01]
COME THURSDAY, AS LONG AS THEY GET THERE BEFORE WE GET TO THEIR MAIN ON THAT LIST.UM, BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, BECAUSE I KNOW, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE A SAFE SPOT.
I DON'T FEED JULY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S ILLEGAL.
RIGHT? SO I THINK THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE GOING FORWARD THAT ALL MANAGERS ALSO THE CLERKS AND THE BOARD MEMBER NEVER IS SAFE TO THOSE WORKERS THAT SAID, NO, NO, HAVE YOU SEEN THE JOB? YOU DON'T NEED TO BE HERE BECAUSE THAT COULD CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEM THAT SO PEOPLE STOP.
YEAH, NO, THERE'S NO SNIFFING HERE.
NO, BUT I'M SAYING, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE'S, WE CAN'T HAVE SLIPPING BECAUSE GUESS WHAT? PAUL MANAGERS ARE WATCHING YOU PROCESS VOTERS.
AND SO OUR POLL WATCHERS WATCH IT.
AND IF THAT PHOTO IS NOT SHOWING AN ID, GUESS WHAT? THE ISLAND PACKET OR THE MUSIC EXEMPT, WE'LL GET A CALL SAYING THAT WE ARE PROCESSING VOTERS AND NOT LOOKING AT THEIR ID.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CALL YOU WHOEVER THEY'RE GOING TO CALL THE DUDE'S FACE.
YOU JUST NEED TO EXPRESS THAT GOING FORWARD.
SPEAKING OF SPEAKING OF THIS I YEARS AGO WHEN I WENT TO WORK, UM, I NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR CAME IN
YOU GO THROUGH, THEY'RE GOING TO JUMP OVER ME.
SO HE WENT BACK HOME AND GIVE HIM BACK THERE FIVE MINUTES, BUT THE LICENSE.
YOU CAN'T EVEN LET YOUR MAMA OR YOUR SISTER OR YOUR BROTHER.
YOU CAN'T LET ANYONE GET PAST THE PROFIT.
AND YOUR JOB IS TO, I'M SAYING YOU, BUT YOU HAVE A POLL WORKER WILL NEED TO STILL FOLLOW ALL THE RULES AND REGULATION, REGARDLESS OF WHO NOT SAY, BECAUSE THERE IS A POLL WATCHER.
SOME DAYS SOME PRESENTS YOU'RE NOT HAVING FULL WATCH.
IT NEEDS TO BE THE STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD.
NO, YOU CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT IT.
WHO'S WATCHING YOU, BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU SIGN OR WHEN YOU RAISE YOUR HAND THAT MORNING THAT YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO FOLLOW ALL THE RULES AND REGULATIONS, YOU DON'T MAKE EXCEPTIONS.
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS, EVEN THOUGH GOOD EXAMPLE, NURSING HOME RESIDENTS.
BUT WE KNOW THAT THESE FOUR PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED.
BUT THE LAW DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO THEM.
IF THEY DON'T HAVE IT, FORTUNATELY, WE WANT THEM TO HAVE ALL THAT.
THEY NEED TO HAPPEN ON THE PHONE.
BUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE IT, THAT'S NOT AN EXCEPTION THAT THAT SHOULD NOT BE AN EXCEPTION BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE LAW DOESN'T HAPPEN.
SO ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE WHO OUTLINE A QUALIFIED ID, THEY JUST HAVE TO BRING IT WITH THEM.
YOU BUILD OUT THE FRONT SECTION, THE FRONT SECTION AND SECTION SEAT, RIGHT? AND THAT SECTION D SECTION D R B IS FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO, FOR SOME REASON, DON'T HAVE A PHOTO ID.
THEY DECLARED IT LONG TIME AGO.
WE DON'T GET A WHOLE LOT OF, AND BY THAT, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF THEM.
IF A PERSON COMES TO THE PRECINCT ON ELECTION DAY WITHOUT ID, BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS REASONS, BUT NOT HAVING, UM, A PHOTO ID THAT'S ACCEPTABLE, EXCUSE, AND GUESS WHAT? ANY EXCUSE THEY MAY COME UP WITH, WHY THEY DON'T HAVE A PHOTO ID, IT'S AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE, ACCORDING TO THE STATE LAWS, BUT THEY MUST ALSO HAVE A COPY OF THAT PAPER VOTER REGISTRATION CARD.
SO THEY HAVE TO HAVE BOTH THINGS ON EXCUSE AND PEOPLE WHO MOTOR REGISTRATION CARD THAT EXCUSE ME TO BE
[02:35:01]
INDICATED ON THIS FORM.AND THEN THEY MUST SIGN THIS APP, MAKE, THIS IS REALLY AN AFFIDAVIT, WHICH IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT.
UM, THEY'RE FINE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE FULL ID, WHICH IS ONE OF THE QUALIFYING EVENTS.
AND THIS IS THE PROVISION OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA PHOTO ID OFFICE.
AND YOU HAVE A WHOLE MAP, A FULL WAS ALSO SIGNED WITH THE SAME, THAT PERSON'S SIGNATURE.
ACCORDING TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, YOU MENTIONED LAW, THIS ABOUT AUTOMATICALLY COUNT UNLESS YOU ASK THE BOARD TO COOL A LOT.
I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT AND EVEN 1, 2, 3, THAT SOME COLLECTIONS WE DON'T HAVE AT ALL, BUT IN THE
YEAH, I PERSONALLY CAN'T BELIEVE
I'VE BEEN ASKING WHO DOESN'T HAVE A PHOTO OF, ONE OF THE TRAINING SESSIONS.
ONE LADY SAID SHE HADN'T HAD ONE, NONE OF THE OTHER COUNTIES, IF THEY SPECIFIC, IF WE CAN GET, WE GOT THEM EVERY NOW.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE SITUATION CHANGES FOR PEOPLE OR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT WE CAN HAVE A FLOOD, WE ARE ON, YOU KNOW, POSSESSION TO GET WASHED AWAY FOR.
AND I KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOSS FROM, WELL, THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS FLOODED AND TH THEIR, UH, PERSONAL INFLAMMATION STUFF AND CMP.
SO DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO GO TO
MY, MY ID GOT WASHINGTON LADY, THE FLOOD.
AND, UM, I JUST HAVE GOT A CHANCE TO GO TO, I NEED TO SHIFT.
SO THEY GET WHAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE THAT PAPER FOR REGISTRATION CARD.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY GOING TO NEED TO DO IF THEY DON'T HAVE THAT DOCUMENT WITH THEM, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME TO THE OFFICE AND GET A NEW FLOOR REGISTRATION, BUT THEY CAN COME TO THE OFFICE AND YOU CAN'T LET THEM VOTE BECAUSE JUST THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT CAR PEOPLE COUGH.
SO, BUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE THAT, YES.
WHAT IS NOT
THAT'S WHAT IT WILL BE, BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS AT.
EVEN GOTTEN TERRIBLE BECAUSE IT LEAVES THE BLUE MOTOR REGISTRATION CARD TELLS YOU SOME.
YES, BUT WITHOUT ANYTHING, WE HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, LET'S RUN QUICKLY.
UM, POLL WATCHERS MUST BE QUALIFIED.
THEY MUST BE A REGISTERED VOTER IN OUR COUNTY IN ORDER TO SERVE IN THAT ROLE.
AND THEY TAKE A PLACE OR A FALL PARTY OR CANDIDATE.
SO, UM, A LOT OF US POLL WORKERS SOMETIMES GET IRRITATED WITH POLL WATCHERS.
AND I WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE POLL WATCHERS HAVE A ROLE IN THIS PROCESS.
SO IT'S NOT THAT THEY ARE THE ENEMY OF THE ELECTIONS THEY OFFER
AND THEN ALL OF THAT FOR THE ELECTION, WHICH IS COOL, BECAUSE LIKE, I'LL EVEN SAY, IF SOMEBODY IS NOT MAKING, SHOW ME DOING WHAT WE SUPPOSED TO DO, THEY'LL DO IT.
SO EVERYBODY, OUR ROLE TO PLAY IN THE ELECTION PROCESS.
SO WATCHERS, THEY ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY.
WE CANNOT ALLOW WATCHERS TO, UM, THINK THAT THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF THAT AND BE OFF FRAME OF THEM OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
ALRIGHT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU, AS A FULL MANAGER, A FULL BOARD MEMBER
[02:40:01]
IS CONDUCTING NOR DO THESE.THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BE INTIMIDATED BY ANY PRESENCE OF EVERYBODY.
UM, UM, THE ELECTION PROCESS SHOULD NOT BE IN THE FIELD AND YOU, THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE ASSIGNED TO THAT PRECINCT HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT PROCESS STAYS INTACT.
AND A PHONE POLL WATCHER IS JUST PAIRING OR TRYING TO INSERT THEMSELVES IN THE ELECTION IS OUR ROLE AS BOARD MEMBERS AND OUR ROLE AS WHOLE PEN DUES, TO KEEP THEM IN THEIR PLACE.
IT'S UP TO THE MANAGER WHERE THAT POLL WATCHER SITS, WHAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE, BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO OBSERVE THE PROCESS, BUT THEY NEED TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE ABSURD, BUT NOT INTERFERE WHOLE WATCH.
IT SHOULDN'T BE NOWHERE NEAR THE VOTING EQUIPMENT.
THEY SHOULDN'T BE BREAKING DOWN THAT WHOLE MANAGER'S NECK.
THEY SHOULDN'T NOT DO THESE THINGS.
A POLL MANAGER, QUOTE, BLOCKERS.
WE NEEDED TO RESPECT THE POLL MANAGER, ANY CHALLENGE OR CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE NEED TO BE REPORTED TO THE CLERK AND THAT POLL FOR DEALING WITH THAT SITUATION.
IF THE BULL COURT CAN'T DEAL WITH IT, THEY KNOW HOW TO REACH THE BOARD MEMBER AND FOLLOW THE OFFICE.
BUT PAUL, THE MANAGERS SHOULD NOT BE RELINQUISHING.
THEY ARE FORANTI BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO TUNE ME OUT TO DO SOMETHING.
AND I'M GOING TO SAY THIS YOU'RE THAT LAST ELECTION, THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING FROM POLE FROM PRECINCT TO PRIESTS LIKE THAT WAS TO ME, AN INTIMIDATION TECHNIQUE.
AND WE HAVE TO EDUCATE OUR HOME MANAGERS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THOSE SITUATIONS BECAUSE I WAS AT THE PRECINCT, BUT I FELT WHAT THEY WERE FEELING THAT I STOPPED GETTING PHONE CALLS ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I MEAN, I WAS LIKE, THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS.
THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COLD WALKERS.
BUT I DID SAY PULL WATCHERS, FOLDERS ON SERVICE, WHOMEVER.
THEY DON'T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY PULL MANAGERS WHERE ONCE, BUT WHEN I DID NOTICE, ONCE THE POOL MANAGER DECIDED TO EXERCISE THEM, RIGHT, HAVE THEM REMOVED FROM THE CALL IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, THEY LEFT, WE CAN'T BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT WE WERE SWORN IN TO DO WHAT ELECTION MADE, WHICH HAS MADE, KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTION IN PLACE.
AND IF THAT MEANS EXPELLING SOMEBODY WHO WAS CAUSING A LITTLE ROCKETS AS THE NEXT STEP, AND I'LL TELL YOU THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, UM, THEY WILL NEED TO COVER BECAUSE ELECTION IS A SAFER THING, A JOKE, AND PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY, OUR STATE HOUSE COUNTIES SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE WITHOUT BEING INTIMIDATED BY ANYBODY.
AND I THINK I'VE ALREADY COVERED EVERYTHING.
WELL SERVICE BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED FROM SERVERS, THEY CAN'T BE A FULL PACKAGE.
THEY CAN'T BE A FULL WATCH OBSERVERS.
DON'T HAVE THE PERCENT, ANY, UM, STREAM TO SEE WHO THEY ARE.
THEY CAN SAY THAT IN YOUR POLICING POLL MANAGERS NEED TO KNOW WHO THAT PERSON IS.
THEY NEED TO BE PLACED SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY CAN OBSERVE THE VOTING PROCESS.
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER RIGHTS THAT OFF SERVING A COURTESY.
YOU CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AND WHATEVER, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE.
THEY ARE, THEY HAVE TO OBSERVE THE PROCESS.
SO WHEN YOU GIVING PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A PROPER PAPERWORK FOR A PARTY OR THE CANDIDATES THEY CALL THEMSELVES, NO SIR.
WE DON'T MIND THAT IS MOCK ISSUE ON THE RULES OF THE PRECINCT.
YOU STAND HERE AT SOMEONE'S SERVER AND YOU HAVE, THIS WAS A PRETTY GOOD SIZE, PRETTY SAYING, BUT WE GOT THREE, THREE SAINTS IN THIS LOCATION.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ALLOW MORE THAN ONE OR TWO, GET A LOCATION AT ONE TIME.
THE SAME THING FOR, UM, WATCHES.
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME LIMITATION ON HOW MANY YOU CAN HAVE IN JANE AT ONE TIME, BASED ON WHAT COMPANY LECTURE THEY ARE.
[02:45:02]
SO KNOW THAT.AND WE WILL DISCUSS THIS AGAIN, DURING WHOLE MANAGERS TRAINING ON WHAT THE POLL WORKER'S ROLE IS.
AND YOU, AS BOARD MEMBERS WILL NEED TO REITERATE SOME OF THAT DOING YOUR, UM, VISITS.
UM, WHEN DO I NOT HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, SO WE TALK ALL THE TIME ABOUT WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE ELECTIONS BETTER? WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU ALL? WHAT CAN WE DO? MAKE IT EASY FOR POLL WORKERS AND A LITTLE BIT LATER ON IN THE SESSION, YOU CAN GO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THAT STUFF.
BUT WE WERE THINKING ABOUT, AND Y'ALL TELL US.
SO WE WON'T GO TO SPEND A WHOLE BUNCH OF TIME CREATING A CHECKLIST.
SO THINGS THAT BOARD MEMBERS CAN SAY, YOU MAY HAVE TALKED ABOUT TWO THINGS THAT BOARD MEMBERS TO LOOK FOR WHEN THEY TAKE THEIR PRECINCTS DOING TODAY.
AND THAT WAY YOU WILL HELP THE PULL MANAGER.
YOU WILL ALSO HELP THE PROCESS TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SECURE, AND WE WILL HAVE MORE, UM, YOU'LL HAVE COMPLETE FORMS BECAUSE YOU WILL KNOW THINGS TO LOOK FOR ON ELECTION DAY, GOING TO A PLACE ON ELECTION DAY, JUST TO SAY, I'VE BEEN THERE.
YOU NEED TO GO GET THE, A PURPOSE.
AND THERE ARE FINE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED AND CONDUCTED IN THE CORRECT WAY.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO CORRECT YOUR POOR MANAGERS.
IF THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING INCORRECTLY, DON'T BE AFRAID.
WE WANT THEM TO COME BACK CAUSE WE CAN PULL MANAGERS, BUT WE DON'T NEED ONE NEXT TIME DOING IT RIGHT.
YOU CAN'T PICK UP THE RULES AS YOU GO.
YOU GOT TO FOLLOW AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BEAT THE
WE HAVE LAWS THAT WE HAVE TO COME HERE TOO.
AND THAT'S WHAT OUR ROLE IS ON ELECTION DAY.
SO THAT, THAT THING WAS SAID, OKAY, THREE MINUTES OF MY TIME, GO AHEAD TO THE GENTLEMAN OVER THERE.
UM, ALSO, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER STAFF, WE WERE IN THE MEETING.
CRAIG CAME UP WITH A GREAT IDEA ABOUT A POSTER SIGN THAT WE PUT UP WITH.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID.
I REMEMBER OBSERVING AND PUTTING UP A SIGN, BUT, UH, I GUESS FOR ME, IT MIGHT COME IN WHEN THE, UH, THEY SIGN, IT WOULD TELL YOU IF YOU'RE A POOR WATCH OR, OR WHAT TO, YEAH.
YOU HAVE TO REPORT TO THE CLERK, TELL HIM WHO YOU ARE.
AND AT THAT TIME, THE CLERK WILL TELL HIM, YOU WILL STAND HERE OR SIT HERE.
BECAUSE LIKE SHE SAID, THAT WAS, WE FELT SORRY FOR OUR PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING SCARED TO DEATH WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING IN AND DOING THIS.
AND THEY HAD THEIR, THEY HAD THEIR LITTLE THING PLANNED OUT REALLY WELL.
BUT ON THE SAME TIME, WE NEED TO BE PREPARED WITH STUFF LIKE THAT HAPPENED.
BUT YEAH, HE SAID, WHAT WE, WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT IS HAVING TO SIGN AND WE'LL PUT IN EVERYBODY'S BAG BASICALLY SAYING, IF YOU ARE A POOR WATCHER OR OBSERVER, YOU NEED TO REPORT TO THE CLERK PERFORMED BEFORE YOU, YOU DON'T GET IT.
WHEN YOU COME INTO THE PRECINCT AND THEN THE CLERK WILL TELL YOU, AND THAT'S WHEN THE CLERK TAKES CONTROL, SAYING, OKAY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE AN OBSERVER TODAY, THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE.
AND YOU CAN OBSERVE THE ENTIRE PROCESS.
DO NOT QUESTION OUR VOTERS OR WHATEVER, BUT IT OUTSIDE THAT'S ON THEM.
WHEN THEY'RE IN HERE, YOU CANNOT QUESTION OUR VOTERS.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION THAT YOU WANT TO ASK, YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE CLERK, TELL THEM THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE CLERK.
BUT THAT'S THE THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET OUR CLERKS TO UNDERSTAND IS THEIR PRECINCT.
WE'VE TOLD THEM STAND UP AND BE A CLERK THIS IS YOUR PRETEEN.
I CAN TURN TO THAT NEST SIGN BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T, THEN WE CAN KICK THEM OUT RIGHT THERE.
CAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT, NO, WE WILL, WE WILL FOLLOW THAT UP AND WE CAN GET WHAT YOU PUT FROM YOU.
ALL THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP BETTER THAT YOU ELECTION.
I CAN'T, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE SESSION IS ALSO ABOUT IS FOR US TO COME TOGETHER IN TEAM BAIL AND BE ON THE SAME PAGE.
UM, NOT JUST DOING ELECTION TIME, BUT ANY OTHER TIME AS WELL, BECAUSE 24 7 365, WE REPRESENT THE BOARD OF VOTER REGISTRATION AND THE ELECTIONS EVEN IN OUR PERSONAL LIVES.
AND THEN THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
[02:50:03]
NORMALLY HAVE THAT FACILITYTHE SUGGESTION ABOUT THE, UM, OR THE BOARD MEMBERS WHERE WE GO TO THREE, SAY 30, THEY ACTUALLY LOOK TO THE OBSERVING FORCE THAT SHOULD BE IN OPERATION.
MAYBE YOU BOYS COME HOME AND CONSIDER THAT THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE
WHEN YOU GET NEW COMMISSIONER, YOU NEED TO ONBOARD THEM.
THEY NEED TRAINING AND IT SHOULDN'T BE TWO AND A HALF YEARS INTO OUR CHART SHOULD BE THIS ONE HAVE BEEN REALLY HELPFUL OVER THE 2020 ELECTION COMMUNITIES PLAY THAT AS LIKE ANY OTHER NONPROFIT ORDER COMMISSION.
THERE NEEDS TO BE NOT JUST, HERE'S A HOT SCANDAL THAT HASN'T BEEN UPDATED IN 20 YEARS.
HERE'S AN ACTUAL ONBOARDING RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT HARTFORD
W W WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE NEED TO DO BETTER.
UM, THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION CANNOT, I SHOULDN'T SAY THEY HAVE A PORTION THAT THEY ORIENTATE THE BOARD MEMBERS, BUT WE ALSO HAD AN ORIENTATION PROGRAM THAT WE HAD PUT IN PLACE, WHICH WOULD BE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO A POLL WORKER TRAINING.
AND, UH, WE, WE TALK, YOU KNOW, WE TAUGHT YOU FOR COUNTY.
WE KNOW HOW TO TALK, YOU KNOW, STATE STUFF.
WE'VE TALKED TO YOU FOR COUNTING STUFF, THINGS THAT IS EXPECTED IN COOPER COUNTY, BUT JUST PRETTY SIMILAR TO WHAT THE STATE DOES, BUT WE HAVE, WE HAVE AN OPERATIONAL BAND, THEN WE WILL GO OVER THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
AND WE CAN REINFORCE ALL, WE CAN REINSTATE OUR, UM, ORIENTATION ORIENTATION PROGRAM, UM, FOR THE NEXT, WHOEVER THE NEXT NEW BOARD MEMBER MAY BE, UH, UPDATE THE MANUAL TO INCLUDE WHAT, WHAT THAT IS.
BUT WE HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT'S WORKING ON THAT NOW, AND I'M SURE YOU ALL WILL BE CONSIDERING ALL OF THAT.
AND THAT COULD BE A POT THAT THEY HAVE OF ORIENTATION, UM, YOU KNOW, IS CLOSE TO US AND KNOWING THAT THEY ARE, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY HAVE TO APPOINT, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT'S, THE WEDGE ROAD CAME ON BOARD.
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS APPOINTED TIL LIKE THREE MONTHS.
SO, BUT I THINK WE WEREN'T ELECTION TO ELECTION, NOVEMBER 20, 21 ELECTION.
BUT EVEN NOW WE HAVE MUCH, UM, I THINK WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SANDWICHES.
I HAVE A TURKEY TURKEY SANDWICHES ON THE TABLE.
YOU HAVE, UM, CHICKEN SALAD AND AN ANIMAL ON, SO, UM, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU EAT IT.
WE NEED TO GET A LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT IT COULD BE.
JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY SIGNED THAT CLIPBOARD THAT WAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY SAY WHO WE FED
[03:50:22]
OKAY.[03:50:23]
HELLO.[03:50:24]
WELCOME[03:50:25]
BACK.[03:50:26]
WE[03:50:26]
ABOUT[03:50:27]
TO[03:50:27]
ENTER[03:50:27]
OUR[03:50:27]
SECOND[03:50:28]
PHASE[03:50:29]
OF, UM, WORKSHOP TODAY AND, UM, I HAVE TO SAY I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE SOME OF, UH, SOME OF OUR OTHER BEERS IN THE ROOM.WE HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE TO START FROM THE TOP AND THEN GO BACK TO THE BOTTOM.
WE HAVE WITH US THIS AFTERNOON, UM, WARRANTS, LARRY, THE GALA COUNTY COUNCIL.
THEN WE HAVE A, HIM AUDRA, MR. RELAY, UM, CAMI ADMINISTRATOR.
SHE IS OUR LIAISON BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATION AND MR. ELLA, IF ALL THE A'S OFF THE CLEAN, THE BOARD AND COUNTY COUNSEL, SO WE CAN CONDUCT Y'ALL IT, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN GET IT.
SO THAT'S,
UM, WE KINDA LIKE SINCE THE LAST BOARD MEETING, THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THE ELECTION TIME AND THE PRESENT.
AND SO WE JUST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BRING THE BOARD UP TO DATE ON WHERE WE ARE.
WE TALKING ABOUT POLLING PLACES.
WE KNOW THAT, UM, SOME OF OUR POLLING PLACES ARE IN JEOPARDY.
AND I SAY THAT, AND I DON'T SAY IT LIGHTLY.
AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DEALING WITH THE SCHOOLS AND THE, UH, DEALING WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT WHERE SOME OFFICES, CITIES, UM, WE USE SOME OF THEIR FACILITIES WE USE AS POLLING LOCATIONS.
SO LET'S GO BACK TO THE SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THE RECENT BREATHS, UM, TWO SCHOOLS, THE SCHOOL SHOOTING, AND THIS, THIS GOES IN A WAY, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN THERE IS A SCHOOL SHOOTING.
UM, THE AWARENESS OF SCHOOL SAFETY IS FOREFRONT FOR EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND FOR EVERY PRINCIPAL.
IT HAPPENED BACK IN WHENEVER WE HAD THE SAME SHOOTING RED WITH THAT COUPLE OF YEARS OR SO AGO.
I MEAN, THEY WERE SHUTTING US OUT OF SCHOOLS, LIKE NOT, YOU CAN'T COME INTO THE SCHOOLS, UM, BECAUSE OF THE KIDS' SAFETY.
AND THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE AS THAT'S IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.
SO WE DON'T DISPUTE THAT, THAT WE NEED TO KEEP THEM ALIGNED THAT SOME OF THE SCHOOLS AND ALL THE ROOMS THAT WE USE, THAT SOME OF THE SCHOOLS MAY NO WALK REVEALED TO US.
UM, A GOOD EXAMPLE IS, UM, RIGHT HERE IN THE BOSTON AREA, THE PRITCHARD HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WE WERE, UM, ONCE COWS IN THE GYMNASIUM CAFETERIA CAFETERIA.
AND, UM, NOW WE CAN'T USE THAT AREA ANYMORE, BUT THEY WERE GRACIOUS ABOUT TO LET US USE ONE OF THE MOBILE UNITS, UM, FOR THE LAST ELECTION.
ACCORDING TO THE POLL MANAGEMENT, THEY HAVE, THEY MADE IT WORK.
UM, IT ONLY HAVE ONE ENTRANCE AND YOU KNOW, THIS IDEA OF US TO HAVE ENTRANCE EXIT, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.
WE DON'T HAVE, UM, PRIME PROPERTY THAT WE DID USE THE HOLDING LOCATION.
SO THIS IS BECOMING A CHALLENGE FOR EVERY NEW ACTION THAT WE HAVE THE POSITIVE POINT ABOUT THAT IN ABOUT FACILITIES THAT HAVE SCHOOL SOONER THAN THE GENERAL ELECTION HERE.
TYPICALLY WE ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL ON A GENERAL ELECTION.
THE ISSUES WE WILL HAVE IS WHEN THERE IS A SPECIAL ELECTION OR EVEN A PRIMARY BECAUSE PRIMARY, SOME OF THE SCHOOLS HAVE OFF MINUTES TO US BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORK.
[03:55:01]
WORKS, THAT THEY USUALLY DO ALL THEIR CONSTRUCTION WORK DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.SO AS SOON AS SCHOOL IS SHUT DOWN FOR THE SUMMER, THEY SLOT WITH CONSTRUCTION.
SO WE FIND ABOUT SALES MOVING FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER LOCATION, WHICH SOMETIMES CAUSES CONFUSION, UM, NOT JUST FOR THE HUSBAND, BECAUSE THE REAL CHALLENGE FOR THE VOTERS GET INFORMATION OUT TO THEM THAT SCHOOLS HAVE PREVIOUS POLLING LOCATIONS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE, BUT IT'S A TEMPORARY SITUATION.
SO BEING THAT IT'S A TEMPORARY SITUATION, WE DON'T SEND OUT MASS NOTICES TO THOSE VOTERS BECAUSE IT'S JUST A ONE TIME WITH MAYBE THE NEXT TWO ELECTIONS.
SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO KEEP IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS ON WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO, TO MANAGE POLLING PLACES.
NOW, UM, WE KNOW THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR OR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, WE WANT TO BE FOCUSING ON INCREASINGLY AND RE THINGS MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR FOUR POLLING LOCATIONS.
AND THE REASON WHY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THE SAME THING AS BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF VOTERS THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO THREE STATES RIGHT NOW FALL BEYOND THE MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT SHOULD, THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED BY LAW, WHICH IS 5,000.
WE HAVE POLLING PLACES OR THREE STATES RIGHT NOW THAT SPOKE TO 2000 VOTERS.
AND SO, UM, THAT WHOLE PROBLEM, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO, I DON'T LIKE THE WORD PROBLEM THAT COULD PROPOSE SOME CHALLENGE ELECTION POLLS TO LIKE TO USE THE WORD PROBLEMS. SO WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS SEPARATING SOTHEBY'S AND MODULE THREE SAYINGS TO A SIZE THAT'S MORE MANAGEABLE SO THAT WE CAN BETTER SERVE THE VOTERS.
NOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT WE NEED MORE PLACES TO PUT THEM IN BECAUSE AT LEAST FOR EXAMPLE, UM, PRINTED BILL, UM, HOW TO POLLING TWO, THREE SENTENCE.
THEY PROBABLY HAVE ABOUT FOUR BOUNDS OF VOTERS WHO WAS IN THOSE TWO PRECINCTS AND LONG LIVES.
AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS MINIMIZE THOSE FINES IN ORDER TO DO THAT.
WE NEED TO FAIL WELL, YOU KNOW, SOMEPLACE ELSE.
UM, WHEN YOU RIDING AROUND THE COMMUNITIES, LOOK FOR PLACES THAT COULD BE POTENTIAL HOLDING LOCATIONS.
UM, COUPLE THINGS TO SORT OF KNOW, MAYBE RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION, WE GOT, UM, WE WERE TALKING ANDRE AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THE USES OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITY.
WELL, POTTS IS SUPPOSEDLY EXPANDING SOME PROGRAMS WHICH WILL LIMIT THE USE THAT WE HAVE OF THEIR FACILITIES RIGHT OUT HERE.
YOU'LL SAY PERFECT WELLS IN BUFORD, WE USE, WELL, WE THINK THERE'S A RISK THAT YOU DON'T HAND OUT.
SOME, ALL THE FACILITIES THAT USING THE WALTER PRECINCT AT FOUR PRECINCTS THERE, IF WE OUT OF THAT FACILITY, WE NEED TO FIND, UH, HOLD FOR FOUR PRECINCT.
AND SOME, BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE ARE ALREADY OVERCROWDED.
AND WE HAVE, UM, IN BUFORD OUT THE GREEN STREET JAM, ALL, SOME PEOPLE CALL ME,
UH, WE HAVE THREE, THREE SITES OVER THERE.
THAT LOCATION IS ALSO IN JEOPARDY.
UM, IN THE BLUFFTON AREA, BESIDE BOTH WALTER AND, UM, RECREATION CENTER, WHICH WE USE AS A PRECINCT, BUT ALL THE ON ELECTION DAY, WE ALSO UTILIZE THAT OFFICE.
UM, THE OTHER HALF OF THERE'S THERE'S SELECTION OF LONDON RECREATION CENTER, WE HAVE AN A M B A IS USED AS A PRECINCT ELECTION, A POLLING LOCATION ON ELECTION DAY, THE ISSUES AS THE SATELLITE OFFICE, THE BLOCK WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING THE SATELLITE OFFICE OUT OF THAT FACILITY, BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER GOING TO BE AVAILABLE TO US AFTER THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, UM, OPERA ROSLYN AND I, AND FACILITY MANAGER OUT APPS FOR A NEW LOCATION IS A CHALLENGE FOR THAT IS THAT YOU CANNOT CONDUCT EARLY VOTING AT THAT LOCATION AT BALTER.
[04:00:01]
WE STILL NEEDED TO FIND A PLACE.AND RIGHT NOW IT'S THIS YEAR, BUT IN THE COMING YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO FIND A FACILITY TO DO EARLY VOTING.
AND YOU, IF YOU WEREN'T HERE EARLIER THAT YOU LOOKED AT CHRIS'S SLIDE THAT SHOWED BLUFFTON IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING AREA.
AND WE HAVE MORE FOLDERS IN THE WHOLE COUNTY, IN THE FLORIDA AREA.
SO WHATEVER FACILITIES WE DECIDE TO COME UP WITH A WE CAN USE IT NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE VOTERS INVOLVED IN, I DON'T KNOW.
I KNOW AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A NEW LIBRARY ON BEING PROPOSED.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S STILL IN THE PROPOSAL, BUT WE WILL NEED TO HAVE A PLACE THAT WE CAN CONDUCT, UM, EARLY VOTING WHERE WE SEE APPROXIMATELY FIVE TO 600 PEOPLE THAT THEY IN THE PEAK SEASON, EARLY VOTING IS ONLY TWO WEEKS.
IT'S NOT A FULL 30 DAYS HE USED TO BE, BUT, UM, APPROXIMATELY IS HERE THAT JASON BLUFFTON, AFTER SHE'D BE LEAVING IN A FEW MINUTES, BUT SHE WILL HAVE, SHE CAN ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT THE LAST TWO DAYS, TWO OR THREE DAYS OF THE EARLY VOTING PERIOD, SHE IS PROCESSING HER IN HER SNAP PROCESSING FIVE TO 600 PEOPLE A DAY.
AND, UM, SO WE NEED TO KEEP ALL OF THAT IN MIND.
SO WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, PLACES, CHURCHES, UM, UM, WHENEVER RECREATION CENTERS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF US USING THEM AS A FULL NAME LOCATION, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
WE WILL DO THE EVALUATION BECAUSE WHATEVER WE COME UP WITH, IT MUST MEET ADA STANDARDS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE FACILITY, UM, WITH WHATEVER DISABILITIES THEY MAY HAVE.
SO DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT NOW? UM, IF YOU, UH, I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT BECAUSE I'M PRETTY MUCH WRAPPING IT INTO YOUR EMAIL, THAT WE, WE KNEW THAT GREEN STREET JAM, THE BROWN CENTER AND SARAH WAS AUTOMATICALLY AFFECTED.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE OTHER PARKS, RECREATION FACILITY WILL BE AFFECTED AT THIS TIME.
UM, AS FAR AS THE EXPANSION OF PROGRAMS HERE.
WE HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE ON THAT BECAUSE I READ INTO IT THAT YOU'RE NOT SURE THAT EASILY, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
SO WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM, A CHALLENGE IN THE FUTURE, IF NOT IN THE 20, 22 ELECTION, THAT 20, 24 ELECTION, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A MONSTER OF ELECTION.
THAT'S WHY THAT MOVIE IS THERE.
THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN 2022, WHICH IS THIS UPCOMING NOVEMBER, BUT IT MAY BE, WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO US FOR AN OFFICE LOCATION, WHICH IS THAT'S FINE WITH US, BUT WE'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EARLY VOTING PROCESS.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE 24.
IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT IT WILL BE AVAILABLE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW EXTENSIVE PALS PROGRAM WOULD LIKE TO BE.
I THINK PALS HAS MORE PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO BE, BUT WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED BECAUSE ONCE WE DESIGNATE THOSE LOCATIONS, ESPECIALLY EARLY VOTING BY LAW, WE HAVE TO DO IT BY A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME AND THEN ADVERTISE IT AS SUCH.
SO YOU CAN'T COME TO THE DAY BEFORE, EVEN THE WEEK BEFORE AND SAY, THIS IS IN THE LONG RUN.
SO WE NEED TO KIND OF LIKE NAIL THAT DOWN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.
I THINK I'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS ONCE, BUT REENTRY, SAME THING.
WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING THAT BACK UP PRETTY SOON.
IT WOULD BE IDEAL IF WE CAN TRY AND GET THAT DONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS EVERY TIME WE MAKE A SAFE CHANGE, IT HAS TO BE APPROVED
[04:05:01]
BY THE LIPS.AND SO IT GOES THROUGH THE LEGISLATION, LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION, ALL, IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD GET THAT FIELD PRE-FILED.
AND, BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, WE NEED TO HAVE A PLACE TO NAME AS THAT THREE SEATS HALL.
SO WE CAN'T JUST CREATE A FREE SITE AND DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO.
SO WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF TIME.
WE CAN DO AN ED 20, 23, UH, BUT KNOW THAT, UM, 20, 24, WE WILL HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE.
I MEAN, NOW TEMPORARY COULD BE JANUARY, FEBRUARY, BECAUSE SOUTH CAROLINA IS ONE OF THE FIRST IN THE STATE TO HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE RATHER THAN THE COPIES OF NATION.
SO WE WILL BE CLOSE TO GETTING OVER HERE AT 2024.
THEN WE'RE GOT TO HAVE A JUNE 20, 24, BECAUSE HOW THE PRESENTATION NOW THAT'S NOT TALKING THAT'S PLAN B ELECTIONS.
WE'RE NOT TALKING SPECIAL ELECTIONS, BUT THE ALREADY GOT UP AND NOTICE THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL ELECTION IN 2023.
IT WON'T BE FIVE, SO WE CAN PROBABLY WANT NEW FOR THAT.
SO WE HAVE TO, UM, AGAIN, IT'S NOT THINKING ABOUT, WELL, HOW DO WE SPLIT THOSE THREE SITES? WHAT DO WE WANT? IT'S ABOUT TO BE ME THE AMBRA THINGS ABOUT TIMBER.
SO MR. CLIFFORD IS GOING TO COME OUT AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HE'S DOING.
AND, UH, HE DOES A LOT OF RESEARCH.
HE HAS DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH CONCERNING OUR FACILITY ADVOCATING.
UM, WE HAVE TALKED FOR A WHILE AND YOU'RE HERE.
WE'VE TALKED FOR AWHILE ABOUT BACK.
IF YOU LOOK IN OUR WAREHOUSE, WHICH WAS ADDED IN 2018, UH, WE EDITED A 1600 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE, WHICH WAS PERFECT FOR US.
DID UNFORTUNATELY ABOUT A YEAR LATER, THE STATE BOUGHT NEW ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT, WHICH IS ABOUT TWICE THE SIZE OF WHAT WE HAD BEFORE.
SO NOW THAT WAREHOUSE IS CHAPTER ONE FULL.
SO WE ARE DELEGATING OUR KEY PEOPLE TO PROGRAMMING, HOLD THE MACHINES AND A BOOT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPACE TO DO ANY WORK IN THERE.
UM, WE ASKED FOR MORE STORAGE OR REQUESTED MORE STORAGE SPACE FROM THE COUNTY.
THEY CAME UP WITH A BUILDING, THE OLD PILLOW BUILDING BACK HOME, THE 21.
AND, UH, WE LOOKED AT THAT AND IT WOULD BE OKAY FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF LONG-TERM STORAGE.
WE STARTED LOOKING AT IT OVER ALL THE STANDARDS ARE HUMONGOUS.
ALL OF OUR BALLOT, WORKING WITH JEANS OR WORKERS THAT WE HAD BEFORE.
UM, THEY'RE PILED IN, WE'VE GOT HER TED VOTING NOW, ROBERT PARKS WE'VE INSTALLED BALLOT MARKING MACHINES ON THE RULING CARTS.
AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS IT JUST THE TWO WHEEL CART? WE CAN STORE THOSE OUT THERE, BUT THEN EVERY TIME YOU DID THAT, YOU'D HAVE TO BRING THEM BACK.
AND RE-INSTALL A HUNDRED BALLOT MARKING MACHINES ON THE, UH, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE IF WE TOOK OUR MACHINERY TO THE PILLOW BUILDING THAT, UM, WE DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT FOR A OF REASONS.
WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE STORAGE CONDITIONS ARE, HUMIDITY, THEIR POSITIONING.
IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT THAT COULD BE FIT.
THE PROBLEM IS EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO DO ANYTHING, WE'D HAVE TO GO THERE AND GET THE MACHINE TO BRING THEM BACK TO OUR MISTER PROGRAM, TO PUT THE BALLOT STYLED IN THE BALLOT, PARKING MACHINE, ET CETERA.
SO THAT WE HAVE A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
WE DON'T THINK THAT IT'LL WORK AT ALL.
THE, THERE ALSO WERE RESTRICTED EASEMENT CONDITIONS IN PILLOW BUILDING THAT IF WE PUT THE MACHINES THERE AND IF WE COULD TAKE ALL OF THOSE STUFF, WE NEED TO PROGRAM THOSE MACHINES THAT ARE, THEY DON'T WANT US WORKING IN THAT BUILDING.
LONG-TERM, UH, WHATEVER REASON.
[04:10:02]
UM, WE FEEL THAT WE NEED TO ENLARGE OUR EXISTING SPACE AND, UH, WENT TO THE COUNTY.W I ASKED MARK ROSENDO AND ERIC BLOSSOM TO COME AND LOOK AT THE BUILDING.
LOOK AT THE BEHIND THE BUILDING.
WHEN YOU WALK OUT OUR BACK DOOR OF THE BUILDING, I CAN HARDLY SEE THE PLAQUES THAT ARE BACK IN THE BACK THERE, WAY BACK.
SO WE ALL AGREED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE WE COULD INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING.
WE'D BEEN A NOTE BACK AFTER SEVERAL CALLS ACTUALLY, UM, WHICH WERE ANSWERED.
WE FINALLY GOT A NOTE BACK THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY DUE TO THE PROPERTY SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR US TO ENLARGE THE BUILDING.
I'VE SAID TWO OR THREE EMAILS.
I ALSO MENTIONED THE ART GROUP TO ME.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN VERY CLAWSON, BUT I WANTED SOME DOCUMENTATION ON WHY CAN'T WE INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING? UM, I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THAT.
SO I WENT TO THE CITY OF BUFORD.
I TALKED TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OF GOT A HOLD OF RICO GIANNINI, AND HE LOOKED AT HIS RECORD.
THEY'VE GOT AERIAL VIEWS ABOUT HER LOCATION.
AND HE SAID THAT YOU GOT 70 FEET BEHIND YOUR BUILDING FOR YOU TO USE.
AND I ASKED HIM IF WE COULD GO BACK 20 FEET, I THINK WHAT WE'RE THINKING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION.
I THINK WE ADDED 20 FEET ON THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.
THAT GIVES US 800 SQUARE FEET.
THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO BE PROGRAMMING THE MACHINES.
THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO BE GOING BACK AND FORTH AND SIDEWAYS.
AND, UM, HE SENT ME IF YOU GO BACK, THAT'S IT, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED ELWHA, WHICH IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
THE REAR SETBACK IN THIS DISTRICT.
YOU'RE 10 FEET FROM MY AREA OF MEASUREMENTS WOULD BE WITH COUNTY GIS MAP.
IT APPEARS YOU HAVE ROUGHLY 70 FEET UNTIL THE REAR PROPERTY LINE FOR YOUR EXISTING BUILDING IN MIND, PRELIMINARY REVIEW.
IT WOULD SEEM THAT IT WOULD BE ABLE TO ADD 20 ADDITIONAL FEET, STILL HAVE 40 TO 50 FEET AWAY FROM YOUR REAR PROPERTY.
SO EACH SETTING IT IS POSSIBLE.
AND I GUESS, I GUESS WE COULD PUT A POINT IN HERE I'M STILL WAITING FOR DOCUMENTATION FROM MR. CLAWSON ABOUT WHY HE SAYS WE CAN'T ENLARGE THE BUILDING.
AND I GUESS IF FOR SOME REASON THEN YEAH, I GUESS WE GOT TO GO ALONG WITH IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REASON IS.
AND I'M FUCK WITH THE INFORMATION FROM THE CITY OF BUFORD.
WE WOULD THAT THIRD BULLET POINT FROM THE BOTTOM, WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD 800 SQUARE FEET FOR THE BACK OF THAT BUILDING AND GIVE US SOME WORKING SPACE IF WE, IF WE DON'T CORRECT.
UM, WE'RE OPENING OURSELVES UP TO LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO PROGRAM ALL OF THESE MACHINES FOR ELECTRIC AND YOU GOT VERY LITTLE SPACE TO DO IT, THAT INCREASES YOUR PROBLEM OF PROBLEM OF MAKING MISTAKES.
LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY, OR, UH, TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT SMALL AREA.
IT CAN CAUSE YOU SOME, UH, PROBLEMS. SO, UM, WHEREAS THE ATMOSPHERE AS IT IS TODAY WITH ELECTIONS, UH, I'M NOT SURE WE WANT TO WIN OURSELVES UP THAT YESTERDAY.
THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND, WE, AREN'T GOING TO GET MORE EQUIPMENT BASED ON THE INCREASED NUMBER OF PRECINCTS.
THAT'S GOOD NEWS AND HAVE MORE EQUIPMENT.
SO, BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S WHY WE NEED MORE WORK FACE IT SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO RUN WALLET SELECTIONS LIKE WE'VE DONE FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS.
UM, NEXT THING IS COUNTY EXISTING FACILITY BUDGET FOR POSSIBLE FUNDING.
WHAT ARE THE ANSWERS OR THAT MARIE GOT FOR HER CLOSET WAS THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR EXPANSION.
AND EVEN IF YOU HAD ROOM FOR NO MONEY FOR EXPANSION, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GET PAST THAT, BUT WE MAY HAVE TO JUST PUSH IT OFF IN
[04:15:01]
THE FUTURE, USE YOUR BUDGET.BUT I WOULD BE, I TALKED TO HIM, RANDOM MINE WHO OWNS IT, COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
HE SAID IT WOULD COST ABOUT 200, A SQUARE FOOT, $200 A SQUARE FOOT TO ADD 800 SQUARE FEET, ROLLING TALKING $16,000, WHICH I DON'T KNOW, $16,000, THE $16,000, BUT THAT'S NOT A HUGE AMOUNT, I WOULDN'T SAY IN A COUNTY BUDGET, BUT, UM, IF IT'S NOT THERE NOW WE CAN'T FIND IT SOMEWHERE.
AND THEN YOU GIVE HIM THE 20, 24 BUDGET, WHICH WE'LL JUST HAVE TO DO.
I GUESS
THAT'S A BIGGER NUMBER, BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.
WHY DO WE NEED TO GET OURSELVES OUT OF A BIND? AND, UM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT NUMBER IS, RIGHT.
THAT COULD BE HIGH, COULD BE LOW.
I'M NOT SURE, BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE.
WHAT KIND OF, WHAT QUESTIONS YOU HAVE LARRY OR ERIC OR OVER, OR WHOEVER? I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION.
I WOULD JUST MENTIONED TO YOU ALL THAT MR. GIANNI, UM, I'VE DEALT WITH HIM ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, REASONABLY FOR MY PERSONAL PROPERTY.
HE DOES NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS AND NEEDS FOR CITY CODE SETBACKS.
ACCORDING TO THE SITE PLAN IS 35 FEET ALONG, NOT WE'VE GOT 70 FEET
YOU GOT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT PRIOR ACCESS, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO GET ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BUILDING AND OUR TRUCK TO THE BACK SIDE, TO FIGHT FIRE.
SO YOU CAN POTENTIALLY HAVE ABOUT MAYBE EIGHT FEET ADD ON TO IMPACT THE POWER ACCESS TURN AROUND THAT WE HAVE.
YOU MEAN IF IT'S, IF IT'S A SOLID BALL IN THE BACK, YOU NEED TO GET AROUND THERE WITH THE FIRETRUCK YOU SAYING, BUT NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT MORE THAN THAT, YOU GET AROUND THERE.
THEY HAVE TO GO AND TURN AROUND AND GET BACK UP.
WELL, THERE'S AN EMAIL IT THERE ASKING FOR THE DOCUMENTATION OF ALL THAT, THAT COULD'VE BEEN HELPFUL TO HAVE.
SO THAT'S WHY WITH THE OTHER GROUP ACTION.
BUT, UM, I CAN DOUBLE CHECK THAT 35 VERSUS MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT? THAT IS 35.
UM, BUT WE CAN RECHECK THAT, BUT IT WOULD BE CERTAINLY HELPFUL.
I GREW A SMALL, UM, ENLARGEMENT WHERE WE ONLY WENT BACK 10 B.
HE HAD THE BUILDING ACROSS THE BUILDING WITH 15 FEET OUT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING BACK UP TO THE SIDE AND THAT WOULD GIVE US 800 FEET.
AND WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AGAIN TO BURDENED AS FAR AS THE SIZE THAT YOU NEED, OR YOU COULD ABSOLUTELY GET BY WITH BABY AND SLOWER 40 BY 40, I DON'T KNOW.
BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S ANOTHER WAY WE COULD GO.
THE STORAGE FACILITY, ARE YOU UNDER THE IMPRESSION CANCELING WORK AT THAT FACILITY AND YOU HAVE TO MOVE EVERYTHING BACK AGAINST? WELL, IF YOU'VE BEEN IN OUR FACILITY EVERY YEAR, IT'S, IT'S TOTALLY FULL RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S JUST NO PLACE TO WORK.
I KNOW IF WE MOVED EVERYTHING TO THE PILLOW FACTORY AFTER WAS READABILITY AND THE WORK YOU'VE DONE THERE, AND THE MACHINES THAT HAVE TO GO BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE, THEY'RE TELLING US WE CAN'T WORK IN THAT BUILDING.
LONG-TERM WE CAN PUT STUFF IN THERE AND LEAVE, BUT WE CAN'T STAY IN THE BUILDING IS WHAT WE WERE TOLD.
AMPLE SECURITY ISSUES, AS FAR AS, I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR EYES ON YOUR STUFF, THIS EQUIPMENT LIKE ANY OTHER KIND OF STUFF IS ONE THING WITH THIS KIND OF EQUIPMENT, YOU KIND OF NEED TO HAVE EYES ON EVERY DAY SECURITY PURPOSES.
[04:20:01]
OUR EQUIPMENT, JUST, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, RICHLAND COUNTY, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE YOU'RE IN AN OLD MENTAL INSTITUTION WHERE THEY KEEP THEIR MACHINES, BUT SOMEBODY IS THERE EVERY DAY WITH THE MACHINE.
THAT'S JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR OFFICES, SO TO SPEAK.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE WORK ON THE MACHINES.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT SITUATION IN THIS PARTICULAR, UM, WITH THIS ISSUE, WE DON'T HAVE THAT SAME SITUATION WE DIDN'T, AND WE JUST CAN'T LEAVE THEM OUT THERE.
AND, AND YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE A STATE REGULATION WHY YOU WOULD HAVE SO MANY ON THE PROPERTY.
WELL, THE ELECTION EQUIPMENT OR ELECTIONS ITSELF HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT HIGH SECURITY A PRIORITY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO VOTING EQUIPMENT, UM, WE, WE WENT TO GREAT LENGTH TO GET SECURITY AT OUR FACILITY WHERE STAFF, SOME STAFF DON'T EVEN HAVE ACCESS TO THE VOTING EQUIPMENT.
SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE AT ALL TIMES NOT ALL ABOUT VOTING EQUIPMENT, WHATEVER WE USING IS UNDER STRICT SECURITY, BUT WE NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT AS WELL.
AND, UM, WHAT MR. CLIFFORD WAS ATTEMPTING TO SAY, LETTING US KNOW COOPERATE FOR THE SAYING WAS THAT IF WE TRY TO MAKE SPACE WHERE WE ARE, WE COULD TEMPORARILY MOVE THINGS OUT.
BUT WHEN IT'S TIME TO PROCESS THE MACHINES, WE HAVE TO TASK EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT BEFORE IT ROLLS OUT FOR YOU ACTUALLY SOMETIMES TWICE.
AND WE DON'T HAVE THE WAYS TO TAKE IT OUT THERE.
BUT IN ORDER FOR US TO BRING IT BACK AND TEST IT, WE CAN STILL BE IN THE SAME SITUATION.
WE GOT TO BRING IT BACK TO OUR FACILITY TO DO ALL OF THAT.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOU MAINTENANCE, WE'RE TESTING BOTH BACK WE'RE BACK.
I THINK TIME-WISE IS THE TESTING OF THIS EQUIPMENT ISN'T DONE ON A DAILY BASIS.
IS IT 10 MINUTES, 30 MINUTES, SIX HOURS.
WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME OF THE TESTING? AND IT'S ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
SO TWO WEEKS, SIX HOURS, EIGHT HOURS A DAY, ALL DAY LONG, SOMETIME ON THAT LONG, DR.
BURNETT TELL HIM WHAT, WHAT WE, WHAT WE DO FOR ELECTIONS WHEN IT COMES BACK TO THAT.
UM, MOST OF THE TIME HER RELATION TO THE PREPPING, I MEAN, THERE'S TESTING IS ALMOST LIKE TOO, LIKE THIS LAST LESSON WAS ALMOST LIKE THREE WEEKS STUDY TESTING BECAUSE IT'S VERY EXTENSIVE LIKE BETWEEN, WE HAVE ALMOST CLOSE TO 500 2539 OF THOSE BALLOT MARKING DEVICES.
AND WE HAVE A HUNDRED OF THE SCANNERS, THE BIG TOLL SCANNERS THAT WE USE WITH THE BALANCE.
AND THE, OF COURSE, I TEST OUT MY BAIT, THE CENTRALS AND SAY, WE HAVE TWO
ALSO OF COURSE WE HAVE OUR OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WE TEST.
SO A LOT OF IT IS, IS THOROUGH TESTING AND WE DO TESTING BALANCE TESTING EVERY WHICH WAY WE ACTUALLY DO.
USUALLY WITHIN A ACTUAL THEORY, I'M USUALLY TAKING ALMOST A WHOLE MONTH JUST TO DO JUST THREE WEEKS OF TESTING AND THEN THE REST IS PREPPING.
AND IT DEPENDS ON A LOT OF OTHER FACTORS THAT COME IN, BECAUSE NORMALLY WHEN I'M PREPPING, I GOT SOME GUYS IN THE AIR, YOU GET ALL FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO TROUBLESHOOT SOMETHING THEY HAVE IN THEIR OWN PRECINCT.
YOU HAVE TO DO A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT COULD TAKE UP A LOT MORE TIME TRAINING ALSO.
SO IT'S A LOT OF HANDS-ON TRAINING IS ANOTHER THING THAT WE DO WITH OUR EQUIPMENT ALSO.
SO WE'RE, IT'S, IT'S NOT AS EASY TO PLUS THE BIGGEST PART IS WHERE TO PUT IT TO THAT STORE'S PLACE RICH TRUCKS TO GET THE STUFF BACK TO OUR OFFICE, BECAUSE THESE, THE SCANNERS ALONE, THEY ARE TOP HEAVY.
IT TAKES US ABOUT JUST A LOAD OF A TRUCK ON A SUNDAY, JUST ONE TRUCK.
IT TAKES ME ABOUT AN HOUR, NOTHING, THEN CLOSE IT.
AND THAT INCLUDES MY HILLMAN AND I'VE LOVED IT.
WE HAVE FOUR TRUCKS THAT WE LOAD UP.
AND SO IT'S USUALLY ABOUT FOUR HOURS.
SO VOTING TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PUT EVERYTHING IN THERE AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S STRAP CORRECTLY, BECAUSE IF IT FALLS OVER, THERE IS DAMAGE AS MORE MONEY THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND.
AND SO IT'S A LOT OF FACTORS THAT PLAYED INTO IT WAS A LOT OF TIMES LIKE JUST GETTING BACK AND FORTH TO THE WAREHOUSE OR TO THAT PLACE WOULD JUST BE A COST EFFECTIVE OF IT.
IT WOULD JUST BE TIMELESS LOOKING JUST TO GET IT FROM, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT'S LIKE A SHORT TWO MILES FROM OUR
[04:25:01]
LOCATION.SO IT'S NOT AFFECTED BY, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE JUST MORE LIKE A TIME ASSET BECAUSE YOU GET A TRUCK 26 FOOTER AND BRING THEM ALL BACK.
CAUSE WE HAD TO PROGRAM RIGHT AT OUR OFFICE.
OUR OFFICE IS REALLY TIGHT IN THERE.
SO USING A PROGRAM IN MY LITTLE SPACE AND THAT'S JUST A SCAM AND THE GUYS HAD TO DO WITH THE WAREHOUSE SIDE ALL AROUND THE WHOLE BUILDING TO JUST TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO KIND OF JUST PROGRAM ALL THE OTHER WITNESSES.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? THE LOADINGS IS THE FOUNDATION OF DEMOCRACY.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND YOU SHOULD HAVE PREMIER LOCATION OPERATED, MADE SURE THAT THE MACHINES ARE SAFE AND SECURE AND OPERATING PROPERLY WITHOUT PUTTING ANY STRESS AND STRAIN ON, ON YOUR EMPLOYEES.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SPACE THAT SUITS THOSE NEEDS.
IS IT POSSIBLE? I SEE YOUR FRIEND GAVE YOU $200 A SQUARE FOOT AND THAT'S FOR CONSTRUCTION.
BUT WHEN THAT IS, IF SOMETHING IS EXPANDED THERE, OF COURSE THEN IS THE AIR CONDITIONING NEEDS ADDITIONAL SECURITY, BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY FINAL PRICE.
IT HAS TO BE A LOT MORE WORK INTO THAT NUMBER.
AND WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO CONVEY HERE IS UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE WITH REGARDS TO THE TRANSPORT AND WHERE THE MAINTENANCE HAS TO TAKE PLACE.
SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU HAVE A REMOTE LOCATION, YOU CAN'T BE MAINTENANCED.
SO WE, WE WOULD, WE DO NOT WANT, NO, I SHOULDN'T SAY WE DO IT.
AND THE ELECTION, OF COURSE, IT'S NOT A CONVENIENT THING, BUT FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE TO RENT EQUIPMENT TO HAUL IT.
THERE COULD BE DELIVERED TO THE POLLING LOCATION.
YOU HAUL TRUCKS TO HAUL THINGS TO THE POLLING LOCATION, EVERY, UH, BUT YOU CAN'T DO ANY SERVICE AT A REMOTE LOCATION.
CAUSE BECAUSE ALL OF OUR STUFF IS THROUGH OUR ELECTION WHERE SOFTWARE SYSTEM THAT WE USE, WE ALSO HAVE TO TEST OUT EVERYTHING RIGHT THERE.
ONLY BECAUSE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, I CAN GO BACK TO THE OFFICE.
WE'LL GET
AND WE'RE ALL PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME BOAT WHEN IT COMES TO STORAGE.
NOW SOME HAVE A LOT MORE STORIES WITH US WHILE OTHERS ARE LIKE IN A TIGHT CLOSET, LIKE A JASPER COUNTY, THEY BARELY HAVE ANY SPACE ON ONSITE.
SO THEY HAVE TO WHAT WE ALL HAVE COLLECTIVELY HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF THING WHERE WE HAVE TO PROGRAM THINGS IN ONE CENTRAL LOCATION.
LIKE, WELL, THE WINDOW SPOKE ABOUT RISK COUNTY.
THERE MAY OFFICES LIKE DOWNTOWN COLUMBIA.
THE WAREHOUSE IS ALMOST ABOUT FIVE TO MAYBE 10 MINUTES AWAY AND ANOTHER HUGE WAREHOUSE.
BUT THEY HAVE STAFF THERE ALL DAY LONG BECAUSE THAT IS A MOLD.
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE MORE 10 TIMES MORE THAN WHAT WE HAVE.
AND SO THEY HAVE TO BE THERE TO MAINTAIN IT, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE TO TEST IT THERE.
AND YOU CAN'T JUST MOVE BECAUSE YOUR OFFICE SPACE IN COLUMBIA AT THE MAIN OFFICE, THE GOVERNOR SENT NONE, NO SPACE EVEN PUT EVEN LIKE A MAJORITY OF THE MACHINE.
SO IT'S A LOT, IT'S A LOT OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL BECAUSE THE MORE YOU MOVE STUFF, YOU ALSO DON'T MAKE YOU RUN THE RISK OF DAMAGING A LOT OF THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, ESPECIALLY IN TRANSPORT.
SO EVEN WITH,
DOESN'T KNOCK THINGS OVER BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE EQUIPMENT IS NOT JUST, IT'S VERY SENSITIVE TOWARDS ANY TYPE OF MOVEMENT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT READING VALID CARDS THROUGH A SCAN, SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT VERY STABLE, JUST SO THAT WAY IT DOESN'T HAVE ISSUES.
WHEN YOU GO WITHOUT, AFTER YOU WON, YOU HAVE PERMANENT STAFF ASSIGNED AND REPAIR ON SITE.
AND ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT RUNS OFF OF AN ACTUAL BATTERY TOO, IN CASE LIKE POWER ALSO CAN LAST FOR HOURS IN CASE LIKE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF HOURS WE HAD DURING OUR EARLY STAGES WHERE POWER WENT OUT FOR ALMOST ABOUT A GOOD 10, 15, MAYBE 20 MINUTES, BUT IT LASTED FOUR HOURS BOOKED.
SO WHAT WE DO EVEN ON WE'RE CHARGING THEM BECAUSE WE CAN'T
[04:30:01]
JUST LET THEM SIT FOR ALMOST SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS.AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THESE, OH, IF YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE TO GO TO REMOTE LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH BUILDING SUBSCRIPTIONS, YOU HAVE TO STAFF THAT DEPARTMENT.
THE WELL, THE PROBLEM IN DOING THAT IS RELOCATING THE RELOCATING, UH, THE LECTURE WAY, WHICH IS THE SYSTEM THAT WE USE TO PROGRAM IT.
AND WE NEED THAT DATA COLLECTION CENTER AT ALL TIMES, ESPECIALLY ON ELECTION NIGHT BECAUSE WE GET RESULTS FROM THE PRECINCTS AND THAT'S THEY DO IN THAT LOCATION.
THEY HAVE TWO SETS OF ELECTIONS.
NO,
THEY HAVE TO TAKE THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THEY, THEY ACTUALLY, IN ESSENCE, THEY HAVE TWO MAIN OFFICES THAT ARE YOUR BEST, BEST WAY TO KIND OF EXPLAIN IT BECAUSE THEY STAY THERE ALL DAY LONG.
THEY LEAVE FROM THERE TO GO OUT TO THE PRECINCT.
THEY DO ALL THEIR PROGRAMMERS FOR THEIR MACHINES THERE IN THAT BIG, OLD GIANT WAREHOUSE SITUATION THAT THEY HAVE.
BUT YEAH, THEY HAVE IT RIGHT THERE.
THEY PROGRAM EVERYTHING RIGHT THERE IN THAT WAREHOUSE WHERE THEY ARE, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE A WHOLE NOTHER OFFICE.
CAUSE I THINK THEY WERE WONDERING WHAT THEY WERE SPLIT BEFORE WE ENDED THE COMBINED THING.
THEY USED TO BE LIKE VOTER REGISTRATION AND ELECTIONS AND THEN TWO SEPARATE, THEY SEEM UNDER THE SAME HEADING, BUT THERE WERE TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES IN THE ELECTION.
I MEAN, BOTH, UH, VOTER REGISTRATION WAS IN BASICALLY WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE MAIN OFFICE AND THEN ELECTIONS WAS OVER WHERE THE WAREHOUSE IS THE MENTAL INSTITUTION.
SO RIGHT NOW THEY DO ALL THEIR PROGRAMMING THERE IN THAT WAREHOUSE.
THEY HAVE ALL THEIR STUFF THERE TO DO IT.
THEY'RE BIG ENOUGH TO DO THAT.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT IS DONE THERE.
BUT THEY ALSO HAVE STAMPED THERE IT'S IT'S BUILT FOR THAT.
SO THERE'S NO NECESSARILY WHERE THE OFFICE IS.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY THE LOCATION IS WITH STORAGE.
BUT THEY MOSTLY DO LIKE VOTER REGISTRATION STUFF, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
AIN'T NO MAINTENANCE IN THERE OVERLOAD.
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ADMINISTRATION, EVEN COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I THINK I SHOWED YOU THE FACILITY.
THAT'S WHAT STARTED THIS WHOLE THING, HOW CRAP THE FACILITY IS.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT, BUT UNLESS YOU SEE IT IN OPERATION, IT'S KIND OF DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN AS BECAUSE IF YOU DO PULL OUT THOSE EQUIPMENT AND IN FRONT OF IT, LET'S DO A POSITIVE THING.
AND WE HAVE TO, BECAUSE WE CAN'T SET EQUIPMENT OUT, THAT'S NOT PREPARED FOR THE ELECTION.
AND SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO TEST AND RETEST AND RETEST AGAIN.
AND ONCE WE TEST AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS RIGHT, THAT MACHINE GETS SEALED.
SO MORE SIMPLIFIED TRYING TO FIND OUT, NOT MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AS THE STAFF IS THAT YOUR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE AND THAT'S WHAT DELIVERY DELIVERING TAKE PLACE IN THE PRECINCT.
AND THEN WHEN IT'S OVER, YOU RETURN TO THAT STORAGE.
AND THEN YOU DO WITH YOUR OFFICE SPACE, WHERE, WHAT A REGISTRATION, TWO SEPARATE FACILITIES, WHAT ELECTION, WHERE I DO HAVE A QUESTION TO FREE UP SPACE AT JOHN GALT, COULD YOU NON ELECTION EQUIPMENT? COULD YOU HAVE THOSE ITEMS AT HERITABILITY IS FREE UP SPACE.
UM, THE ONLY COLLECTION EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE WOULD BE POSSIBLY WHAT
SO THEY NOT LIKE ON THE FLOOR.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE TEND TO TYPE FREE.
LET'S JUST STACK THEM AS HIGH AS WE COULD.
BUT EVEN THE, UM, THE CURBSIDE COX, WE HAVE STACKED ON SHELLS, WHICH IS NOT THE SAFEST WAY,
[04:35:01]
BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE AS MUCH ROOM AS WE CAN.AND LIKE MR. CLIPPER SAID, WE WEREN'T ANTICIPATING GRANVILLE.
WE'D, UM, REQUESTED ADDITIONAL SPACE THAT WE NOW HAVE.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE IN THE SITUATION THAT WE ARE IN.
UM, WHEN IT'S TIME FOR PROCESS OR ELECTION, THERE'S SO MUCH THAT'S GOING ON.
AND EVEN IN THE STORAGE ROOM THAT WE HAVE, WHAT WE CALL OUR, UM, FILE ROOM ON ELECTION, COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION, THINGS ARE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE SPACE.
SO THAT USE HOLDING THINGS UP IN ANOTHER ROOM.
BUT OUTSIDE FOR PROCESS, AGAIN, THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHEN I FINISHED WITH THIS ONE, I'LL TAKE THIS ONE IN AND PUT THIS ONE OUT.
AND UM, YOU GUYS MAY NOT HAVE SEEN THAT.
EVEN IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM, WE DIDN'T USE THAT.
HIS OFFICE IS FULL OF MACHINES.
AND CRAIG, BY THE WAY IN THE BACK WITH MACHINES, RAN OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE BECAUSE IT'S A PROCESS AND
AND FIRST CLAIRE, YOU DON'T VOTE ELECTION THAT THIS, THIS A WHOLE LOT MORE TO IT THAN JUST SAY THIS ELECTION.
WE PULL OUT THIS ISSUE AND PUT A TAG ON IT AND SEND IT.
FIVE MINUTES OR NINE OF THE VALMARC DEVICE, THAT'S ON CARDS.
WE HAVE A HUNDRED OF THE SCANNERS, UM, 197 OF THE POLLS.
THAT WAS THE LAST THING THAT TOOK UP.
THEY, UM, WE BUY NOW WE HAVE TO BUY IT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF NEW PRECINCTS CREATED.
WE NEED, WE WILL NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST A SCANNER, WHICH IS THE TRASHCAN LOOKING THING.
WE WILL NEED TO HAVE THAT FOR EVERY PRECINCT ABOUT FIVE.
SO IF WE ANTICIPATE, ANTICIPATING, SAY JUST 10, 10 NEW PRECINCTS, WE GOT TO HAVE THOSE AND WE NEED TO HAVE, UM, ABOUT LOCKING DEVICES AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO HAVE MORE ELECTRONIC POLL BOOKS.
UM, LOOKING AT 10, THAT'D BE 549.
AND THEN OF COURSE WILL MORE, UM, THEY FIND FOLDERS, WHICH RIGHT NOW YOU'VE GOT SHOW ALL OF THEM, BUT NOW YOU'RE THAT, THAT WILL BE, OF COURSE, BECAUSE NOW YOU ONLY HAVE MORE SHELTER WITH THE NEW SHELTER SITUATION.
10 AND 10 IS, UH, BASED UPON
WHY? SO WE HAVE, UH, OUR OTHER STAFF OFFICE, THE UNDER CHRISTINA, WHICH THEY DO, THEY ORDINARILY HAVE EXPRESSED THOSE BAGS OFF.
SO IN THE MIDDLE OF ARE PREPPING, THEY'RE ALSO PREPPING BACK INTO, SO WE HAVE ABOUT 60 CURBSIDE CARDS THAT ARE IN THAT SECTION.
SO WE HAVE THEM MOVE THEM OUT.
SOMETHING LIKE OUTSIDE OF OUR HOSPITALS IS NOT TOO HIGH, LIKE IN SUMMERTIME WHERE WE SEE MOUNT SIDE.
SO THEY HAVE SPACE TO KIND OF BREATH AND GET ALL THEIR STUFF DONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PUT ALL THAT GOOD INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE USED ON THE VESSEL.
SO WE'RE NOT LIKE ALL PREPPING ALL AT ONCE.
SO THEY ACTUALLY WORK IN SHIFTS SOMETIME I GOTTA GET MY MACHINES DONE.
AND SO TODD, YOU BETTER GET BACK THERE AND GET YOUR BALLOT BOXES FOR BETTER.
ERIC, DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR OBSERVATIONS? COVENANT PREVENTING, UH, OFFICE WORKERS IN THAT SPACE? THE BIG PROBLEM.
THAT'S ALL ABOUT UNDERSTANDING.
[04:40:01]
WE GOING THERE AND SINCE IT CAN'T BE BAD, IT'S, IT'S A POSSIBILITY.
BUT THE PART OF THAT IS ON ELECTION NIGHT, WHAT HAPPENS ON ELECTION NIGHT IS ALSO USED FOR, WELL, I THINK THAT THE REMOTE LOCATION, IF IS A POSSIBILITY AND THE OTHER THING IS, UM, THE CAMPUS WOULD HAVE TO MOVE UP THERE AS WELL BECAUSE HE LECTURED WHERE HIS VIEWS ON CAMPUS AS WELL AND WHATEVER ELSE, BUT IT'S NOT A CONVENIENT THING.
THAT'S WHY EVERYTHING WE FEEL NEEDS TO BE IN ONE LOCATION SO THAT, UM, WHATEVER HAPPENS, WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ELECTION WINNER, UM, AND ALL MY VOTING EQUIPMENT.
AND AGAIN, I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS FALL CALLS, UM, ALMOST A NECESSITY NOW AND THE NEW LOCATION.
WE JUST GET A BIG BRAND NEW BILLS.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE LIKE REALLY, THAT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA.
HOW ARE THEY LOOKING AT OUR BUILDING? WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WHEN WE BUILT THE WAREHOUSE, THEY PUT TWO SMALL AIR CONDITIONERS IN THE WAREHOUSE.
UM, AND WE DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS GOING TO WORK THAT WELL TO THESE MACHINES HAVE TO BE NUMBER ONE, KEPT COOL TEMPERATURE, LOW AND HUMIDITY.
SO WE TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS SO HOT IN THERE.
WE HAD TO PUT UP WHAT YOUR FAN, TRYING TO CIRCULATE EVERYTHING.
SO THEY DID COME OUT JUST THIS LAST WEEK OUT OF THE THREE TON UNIT TO THE WAREHOUSE, WHICH IS WORKING GREAT AIR CONDITIONING AND ADMINISTRATIVE BARRIER, ONE WORKING, THEY DID, THEY'VE WORKED ON THAT PART WITH WORKING, BUT NOW IT'S NOT WORKING.
SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOMEBODY TO COME BACK AGAIN, BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THAT.
PART OF PUTTING IT FOR AIR CONDITIONING, HUMIDITY AND SO FORTH.
SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU.
[04:45:51]
YOU NEED, I'M NOT LOCKED UP WITHOUT THAT.NOW YOU HOPE THAT I CAN WAKE YOU UP AFTER LUNCH, UM, FORWARD, THEN YOU APOLOGIZE ON THE SCREEN LIKE THAT, BUT THAT SAYS A DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO RECRUITING TRAINING AND SIGNING YOUR FORWARD.
I NOTICED IS ONE OF Y'ALL'S FAVORITE TASKS AND WE'RE GOING TO GET RIGHT INTO IT.
IF YOU'VE KNOWN SOMEONE WHO BECOMES A POLL WORKER DON'T WE WANT YOU TO THE SAM.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO DO IF THIS IS WHAT THE PROCESS WE'RE TRYING TO, WE TRIED TO MAKE THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT MORE STREAMLINED A LITTLE BIT MORE.
LIKE SHE SAID, WE WANT EVERYBODY TO BE ON THE SAME SHEET OF MUSIC.
WE GET APPLICATIONS OF PEOPLE BEING POOR WORKERS FOR DIFFERENT THINGS.
PEOPLE WILL SEND US AN EMAIL TO THAT MANY STUDENTS WORKING.
SOME OF THEM WILL TALK TO YOU.
UM, THEY DO IT ON THE ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION.
THERE'S A BIG, BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE ME ENOUGH INFORMATION TO GET YOU START.
SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING EVERYBODY TO DO, YOU HAVE SO MANY COMPANIES WHO SAY, I WANT TO BE A POLL WORK.
WE ASKED YOU TO REFER THEM TO SOUTH CAROLINA.
AND THIS IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU SEND THEM THERE.
UH, IT WILL SAY THE THINGS IS POLL MANAGER AND INFORMATION.
AND THEN ON THE VERY BIG LAKE THERE, RIGHT UNDER THE MAIN TITLE IS APPLICATIONS WOULD BE A BULK OR APPLY WITH THE POLL MANAGER.
WHEN THEY FILL OUT THAT FORM, IT LOOKED LIKE THIS, NOT WITH THE INFORMATION, BUT EVERYTHING I NEED TO GET THEM STARTED IN THE SYSTEM.
NOW I KNOW IN THIS LAST ELECTION, THERE WAS QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW WE GET SOMEBODY STARTED.
AND I THINK A LOT OF TIMES YOU JUST GO IN AND SIGN THEM UP AND GET STARTED, BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.
THERE IS ACTUALLY A PROCESS IT'S TIME CONSUMING FOR THE VOTER AND TIME CONSUMING FOR ME IN ORDER FOR US TO GET IT DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO GET THOSE THINGS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED.
SO THIS IS I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE PROCESS IS, AS MUCH AS I CAN ON THIS EXPLANATION, BUT THE FIRST THING WE'RE GOING TO DO COME UP AT THE POINT THAT I GET THAT APPLICATION, I HAVE TO ENTER THEM IN THE REMS AS A POLL WORKER AS WELL.
AND YOU'RE LISTING AS PROSPECT BECAUSE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, BUT I HAVE TO GO ON THE GROUND, FIND THAT PERSON AND PUT THAT INFORMATION IN.
AND THEN THREE OR FOUR SCREENS DID YOU HAVE TO WORK ON TO DO THIS? SO I HAVE TO PUT THEM AS A PROSPECT, BUT I ALSO HAVE TO SET HIM UP WITH ALL HIS INFORMATION.
THEY'LL BE PERTINENT AND BEING A POOR.
WE WAIT AND THEN WE WILL ARREST THEM IN THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION.
CO-WORKER ONLINE TRAINING CLASS.
WE HAVE TO GET THEM IN RAMS FIRST AS A POLL WORKER.
AND THEN WE PUT THEM INTO THE STATE CLASS RATIO FOR THIS CLASS.
[04:50:01]
ALSO ENDED THEM AN EASY GOAL AS A NEW RECRUIT.SO THOSE ARE THE THREE STEPS THAT WE HAVE TO DO BEFORE A PERSON CAN EVEN GET STARTED.
ALL RIGHT, ONCE THEY GET STARTED OR ONCE ALL THAT IS DONE, I'M GOING TO SEND AN EMAIL IN A FEW MINUTES AND LOOK AT THAT THAT'S EMAIL ALL SUSPECTED FOR WORKERS GET OKAY.
AND BASICALLY IT'S TELLING THEM THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED.
UM, WE NEED YOU TO SIGN INTO THE CLASS.
WE NEED YOU TO USE YOUR USERNAME AND YOUR PASSWORD IS YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION NUMBER, WHICH I CAN MAKE IT REALLY SIMPLE FOR THEM.
AND ONCE THEY TAKE THE CLASS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO CALL ME OR EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW THAT THEY COMPLETED THE CLASS.
ALSO AT THE END OF THIS EMAIL, THERE'S AN APPLICATION.
I MEAN, THERE'S A ATTACHMENT WITH ALL THE PAPERWORK YOU NEED SO THAT YOU CAN COME UP, UH, GET PAID THROUGH THE COUNTY SYSTEM AND ALL THAT HAS TO BE.
AND ALONG WITH THE APPROPRIATE ID.
SO ONCE THEY'VE GOT ALL THAT, THE NEXT STEP IS WHAT'S THE COMPLETED FORM TO SEND TO HR.
HR WILL SIGN THE EMPLOYEE ID NUMBER NATIONALLY.
IT WOULD BE TOTALLY QUALIFIED TO BE, UNLESS THEY'RE A VOLUNTEER.
THAT DON'T MEAN DON'T WANT TO GET PAID.
ALL I NEED FROM THEM ARE THE FIRST TWO PAGES OF AN APPLICATION IN THE LAST FEW DAYS WITH THE APPROPRIATE ID PROVEN TO BE A US CITIZEN.
SO THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE UPDATE IS DENNIS IS AS A QUALIFIED WORKER.
AND FRANKLY, WE LOOK LIKE, WE'RE GONNA SAY THIS PARTICIPANT UP UNTIL THAT POINT.
AND WE ALWAYS SAY PROSPECT, OKAY.
SO THAT'S, I HAVE TO HAVE THAT IN THERE LIKE THAT IN ORDER TO, UM, FOR THE STATE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THIS PERSON IS READY AND QUALIFIED TO BE IN ORDER FOR US.
AND THEN WHEN WE GET THROUGH, WHEN WE GET THE SAME INFORMATION BACK, THIS IS HOW WE UPDATED AND EASY.
BOOM, YOU SEE THAT CHECK MARK ON THE GREEN.
THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU GET THE LIST FROM ME FROM THAT MEANS THEY'RE GOOD TO GO.
NOW, ASSIGNING POLL WORKERS AS ELECTIONS APPROACH, WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONTACT YOUR BOARD WORK AND NO LATER THAN 60 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ELECTION, OKAY.
NOW I'LL GO TO MY OTHER GOALS.
UM, WE NEED YOU TO CONTACT YOUR COWORKER IN THE LAST 60 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ELECTION AND THEY NEED TO SEND YOUR LIST.
I MEAN, THE POLL WORKERS TO ME AT THAT TIME AND ASSIGN THE AMPLE NUMBER OF POLL WORKERS TO COVER YOUR PRECINCTS AND THE PORT LOCATIONS.
NOW, UM, A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, WHEN THAT BABY GOES OUT, LET ME TELL YOU THAT NATE, THIS IS HOW IS THIS SOFTWARE? Y'ALL YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE SAY, THAT'S A SOFT THING AND WE CAN'T, WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE IT AS A HARD THING.
AND Y'ALL KNOW SOMETIMES THEY'LL LIKE, WELL, WHY, OKAY? AND A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, YEAH, IT'S NOT THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO DO, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD FOR YOU TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS ARE FOR RESIDENTS.
I JUST TOLD YOU, THEY NEED TO BE ENTERED INTO BOTH RAMS AND EASY VOTE.
AND THAT PROCESS TAKES ABOUT 50 AND 20 MINUTES PER VOTER.
ALSO, UM, IT ALLOWS MORE TIME FOR WORKERS TO BE NOTIFIED ABOUT MANDATORY TRAININGS.
A LOT OF TIMES
WE ALL HAVE TO KIND OF TAKE THAT SAME ATTITUDE ABOUT THAT.
SO, YOU KNOW HOW YOU FEEL WHEN SOMEBODY TELLS YOU YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING OR THEY WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING, BUT THEY TELL YOU THE WEEK BEFORE AND WHAT HAPPENED, YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAN.
YOU HAVE TIME TO SET SOMETHING ELSE ASIDE.
SO YOU CAN DO THIS, EVEN THOUGH YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IT.
AND A LOT OF TIMES WE KIND OF TAKE OUR HOMEWORK FOR GRANTED IN THAT WE DON'T GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME THAT WE DON'T GIVE HIM ALL THE TIME THAT WE WOULD WANT, IF WE WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY.
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE HERE TO GET A HARD DATE BECAUSE MARIE'S PROBABLY ALREADY HAD THE SCHEDULE IN PLACE.
AND GUESS WHAT? I PUT THAT SCHEDULE UP ON THE, ON THE POLL WORKER WEBSITE.
SO THE HOMEWORK IS TIED TO SOCCER TO CLASS.
WELL, IF THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO WORK THE LECTURE AND THEY HAVE TO BE THAT MANDATORY, THEY DON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP.
AND GUESS WHAT THEY MIGHT'VE BEEN IN THE CAR IS ALREADY GONE BECAUSE ANOTHER COWORKER FROM ANOTHER BOARD MEMBERS ARE SIGNED UP FOR IT.
SO ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT THAT THAT DATE IS A HARD DATE VERSUS THE SOFT
[04:55:01]
DATE.UM, THEY ALSO NEED TO ADJUST THEIR SCHEDULES TO WORK IN ELECTION.
MOST OF THEM WHO WORK, COLLECTIONS WANT TO WORK CONNECTIONS.
SOMETIMES THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING OUT OF TOWN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME, GUESS WHAT? THEY CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.
AND YOU WON'T BE STUCK WITH THREE PEOPLE THAT ARE PREACHING OR WHATEVER.
UM, IT ALSO GIVES YOU A TIME TO ADJUST IT.
IF A WORKER DROPS OUT AND WE KNOW HOW WE EAT THAT WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS I DO, UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T DO IT.
SOMETHING CAME UP WHATEVER, GUESS WHAT? YOU STILL GOT ENOUGH TIME TO FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO PLUG INTO THAT POSITION.
IT ALSO, UM, AND THIS IS WHY I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY THE MOST.
AND MARIA ALLUDED TO IT EARLIER.
IT LESSENS THE CHANCE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO TRAIN THAT POOL WORKING BY YOURSELF.
ALRIGHT, MR. CLIFFORD TELL HIM, BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST.
WE REALLY NEED TO TRY AND GET BACK TO THIS IF NECESSARY.
BUT IF A POLL WORKER CANNOT ATTEND ANY OF THOSE 19 OR 20 CLASSES THAT WE HAVE SET UP IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORKING EVERY DAY TO WORK IN THE ELECTRIC, GUESS WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TEACH THEM.
THAT SAME BRIEFING THAT WE GYM, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE IT TO THEM, BUT WE ARE.
WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE THAT AWAY.
NOT TAKE AWAY FROM IT, BUT WE WERE WILLING TO DO IT, BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE PEOPLE TIME TO SIGN UP FOR THE CLASS.
I MEAN, WHEN WE GIVE YOU THAT DATE, WE LIKE WOULDN'T REALLY BE A HARD GIG.
OKAY? AND THE OTHER THING YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ARE GOING TO THE TRAINING.
NOW, THIS LAST ELECTION, I HAD A LOT, A LOT OF MY TODDLERS.
I HAD TO RENT UP TO ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL ABOUT USING THAT PORT, BECAUSE WHAT I'M SAYING, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM DOING IT, YOU KNOW? WELL, CAN YOU SIGN ME UP AND SAYS, NOPE, I CANNOT DO THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU COMPUTER RIGHT NOW? LET'S DO IT.
AND WE WALKED THROUGH AND YOU CAN'T, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD.
THIS IS NOT, OH, LOOK AT THAT.
AND HE WANTED TO SIT DOWN WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR, AND THEN REALLY YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS COME ON.
WHEN YOU CAN HEAR OVER THE PHONE, THE LIGHTS COME ON.
WHEN THEY NEED TO DO THIS THEMSELVES.
AND THEY CAN CHOOSE AND PICK THE ONE THAT THEY WANT TO TAKE.
THAT'S WHY WE DEVELOPED THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM MORE EFFICIENT FOR THEM.
AND IT'S MORE EFFICIENT FOR US AS WELL.
IT ALSO GIVES US A BETTER RECORD, KEEPING TIMELINE TO FIND OUT.
AND THEN EMILY, I CAN LET YOU KNOW WHO SIGN UP TO DO IT.
YOU CAN GO ON AND FIND OUT WHO SIGNED UP.
WHO IS IT? THERE'S WAYS YOU CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
WE CAN TEACH YOU THAT ON THE LEFT.
ALSO, WHEN THE SIGN BORDERS, NOW WE RECOMMEND PERSONAL COMMUNICATION WITH TWO FORWARD.
WHY? BECAUSE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS, HOW IMPORTANT YOU, YOU WANT TO, YOU WON'T LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK THEY ARE.
WE COME DOWN TO WORK A PERSONAL COMMUNICATION.
WHEN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND SPEAK PERSONALLY TO THAT POLL WORKER, THEY'RE LIKE, OH, YOU'RE OH, WENDELL TOLD ME, YOU BLOCKED CALL ON WINDOWS EIGHT.
YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION ON MY BOYFRIEND.
THEY CAN PUT A VOICE WITH THE NAME.
THE OTHER THING IS IT IMPROVES YOUR ATTITUDE AND COMMITMENT TO WALMART.
WHEN THERE'S A PERSONAL COMMUNICATION, A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP, YOU NEED TO DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP FOR YOU REALLY DO, BECAUSE THEY LET YOU BETTER ASSESS THEIR WEAKNESSES AND THEIR STRENGTHS.
SO YOU CAN MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT PLACEMENT.
OKAY? IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR COWORKERS AND YOU JUST PUT THEM OUT THERE AND THAT PERSON LIKE, CAN WE SAY, TRY TO MAKE UP THE RULES AS THEY GO OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT THE KIND OF PERSON WE WANT WORKING OUT THERE.
ALSO LET YOU KNOW IF SOMEBODY COMES TO YOU AND THEY SAID, WELL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR CLERK? AND SO I HAD PEOPLE CALL ME FOR CAUSE CALLED ME AND SAID, WELL, I'M GOING TO BE A CLERK BECAUSE THEY MAKE MORE MONEY.
RIGHT? GUESS WHAT THAT DOES FOR ME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT DOES FOR ME AND I, AND THEN, SO I SAID, WELL, YOU NEED TO CALL AND I ALWAYS TELL THEM, I DON'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS.
I ALWAYS START YOU, YOUR BOARD RECORDS, MR. SO-AND-SO, MISS SO-AND-SO.
YOU NEED TO CALL THEM AND TALK TO THEM.
AND YOU KNOW, I CALLED YOU
COULD THAT PERSON JUST TALK TO YOU? YOU KNOW,
[05:00:01]
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING MORE THAN WHEN YOU PRECINCT, JUST LET YOU KNOW.SO I LET YOU KNOW AHEAD OF TIME, LIKE I, I REALIZED THAT THIS PERSON SAID THIS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS ABOUT THIS PERSON.
THEN YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DECISION BASED ON WHAT YOU KNOW.
BUT GUESS WHAT, IF YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE PERSONALLY, BECAUSE YOU TALKED TO THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THEY KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND THEY KNOW HOW TO CALL YOU WHENEVER THEY WANT TO TALK.
WHILE I ASK A QUESTION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT HELPS YOU TO DETERMINE WHO YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, BETTER DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO.
THIS IS DORA PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AND THEY FORCE THEM TO FEEL FREE TO CALL ME WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEY NEED TO NOT BE, UM, THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO SHOW UP OR THEY HAVE TO GO INTO THE HOSPITAL AND THEY'LL CONTACT YOU DIRECTLY.
RIGHT? THAT'S A TWO, THREE TIER THIRD PERSON THING.
WHEN THEY'RE CALLING ME, I SAID, WHAT DID YOU ALREADY CALL? YOU NEVER DID YOU CALL THE CLERK? YOU KNOW? AND THEN I, YOU KNOW, I SAID, WELL, UM, I SENT YOU AN EMAIL.
I SAID, THIS IS ALSO GOING TO BE FOR YOUR INFORMATION.
SOCIAL SYDNEY CAN'T WORK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT THEY CALL YOU THE REGULAR THING.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I DID AT THAT TIME.
YOU'RE STARTING TO FIND THIS OTHER PERSON TO FILL THAT SPOT.
SO THAT'S THE IMPORTANT TO THE OTHER THING.
WE'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, AND THIS IS WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
IF YOU NEED TO TALK TO THEM BECAUSE IT, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO THEM AND THEY KNOW YOU AND YOUR VOICE, THEY KNOW WHO THEY'RE SAYING YES TO.
BUT IF YOU DON'T TALK TO THEM AND YOU JUST GIVE THEM UP EMAIL OR STOP THEM AND SAY, HEY, I WANT YOU TO ARGUE.
WE LIVE IN SUCH AS I CAN WORK IN THE PERSON.
YOU'RE NOT REALIZING THAT THAT'S NOT THE NORMAL BOARD MEMBER THEY WORK FOR.
AND THEN THE BOARD MEMBER TRIES TO CALL UP AND TALK TO THEM OR WHATEVER.
AND IT'S A LOT HARDER TO CALL ME.
YOU KNOW? SO IF YOU'RE TALKING TO THEM THAT LESSEN THE CONFUSION THEY HAVE ABOUT SAYING WHO THEY'RE SAYING YESTERDAY.
BECAUSE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST, WE'VE HAD PEOPLE WHO SAID YES TO ONE BOARD MEMBER WHEN THEY DIDN'T WANT TO WORK THERE, THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE.
AND THEY ASKED HER TO WORK WITH SUCH AS WHY MY TEAM AND I'M LIKE, HUH? NO.
SO IF YOU'RE TALKING TO THEM, THERE'S NO CONFUSION ABOUT IT.
THEY KNOW WHO THEY'RE DEALING WITH.
YOU'VE DEALT WITH THEM, YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I CAN TELL YOU.
AND THIS IS FROM MY EXPERIENCE, WORKING WITH MEXICAN RESIDENTS, I CALLED THE JUNE PRIMARY AND OUTSIDE OF THE STUFF, THAT'S IN THE OFFICE.
BUT DEALING WITH PAUL RAVAGES, IT WAS THE PERFECT STORM OF
AND WE KNOW HOW SOME OF OUR PRECINCTS, HOW WE WERE LACKING HAVING TO PEOPLE AT WORK BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TWO WEEKS BACK TO BACK.
SOME PEOPLE SAID, I CAN'T DO BOTH.
I'LL DO ONE, BUT I CAN'T DO BOTH.
AND THAT WAS A PERFECT STORM FOR STUFF THAT HAPPENED WITH THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE HAD.
AND I MEAN, THAT'S JUST SOMETHING WE CAN LEARN FROM, BUT HOPEFULLY THE FUTURE, WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE AND WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE WILLING TO GET THAT.
UM, ESPECIALLY IF YOU TALK TO SOMEBODY ON YOUR NEXT YEAH.
IF YOU'RE TALKING TO THEM AND GIVE YOU, LOCK THEM IN, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO THEM VERSUS WAITING FOR THEM TO ANSWER YOU ON EMAIL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, CAN YOU TALK TO THEM TO, HEY, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A PRIMARY.
AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY, ROB WAS TWO WEEKS LATER.
TWO WEEKS LATER, YOU THINK YOU CAN WORK BOTH OF THOSE AND YOU CAN KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER'S GOING TO BE FOR THAT.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WAITING FOR THEM.
WELL, SO-AND-SO CAME DOWN BACK TO ME YET.
AND EXHAUST, YOU'RE ALREADY QUALIFIED OR LISTS.
AND IF YOU EXHAUST THAT AND YOU CHECK WITH OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, THEY HAVE SOMEBODY THAT YOU CAN USE.
I, I MAY BE CALLING AROUND SOMETIMES OR SOMEBODY CALLS ME OUT OF THE BLUE, SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW, I TOOK THE CLASS ONLINE, THE STATE LAST, SHE TOLD ME TO TAKE AND I SENT MY PAPERWORK IN AND THE WEATHER I'LL MAKE IT WORK.
AND I'M LIKE, REALLY? HE SAID, YEAH.
I SAID, I WAS IN HERE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND THE WEATHER AND WITH ME YOUR WORK.
AND I KNOW HE'S HAD A COUPLE OF ELECTIONS ON THAT AND I FEEL BAD BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF Y'ALL ARE STRUGGLING TO HAVE PEOPLE TO WORK, BUT WE HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO'VE NEVER BEEN CALLED OVER.
AND I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S, YOU'RE NOT INTERNATIONAL YOUR PHONE.
IF YOU CALL OR WHATEVER, YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF CATCHING SOMEBODY, THEN THEY'RE MISSING THEM.
THAT WAS RIGHT AFTER WE GOT THAT 700 FULL WORTH, THE BIG RECRUITING AND THE STATE ALSO DID YOU GOT A SHEET OF 700 FULL WORTH.
I WENT THROUGH A BUNCH OF THOSE AND GOT WHAT I NEEDED, BUT I DIDN'T CALL THE OTHER 500.
[05:05:01]
BUT YOU CALL AND GOT PEOPLE THAT YOU NEED TO.BUT SOME OF THAT, MAYBE WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GO OVER.
ALL I'M SAYING IS NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT, NO, I DON'T WANT TO CALL EVERYBODY.
BUT WHAT I HAD ONE BOARD MEMBER CALL AND HE SAID, HE SAID, HEY, YOU GOT AN EXTRA OF WORKERS HANGING AROUND.
AND I SAID, OH, LET ME GO OUTSIDE TONIGHT.
SO WHENEVER I GET THAT CALL, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT I DO.
THIS IS HOW I FIND TWO EXTRA BORCHERS.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DO? I TAKE THAT LIST THAT I SENT YOU.
AND I GO DOWN THE LIST AND CALL.
AND I SAID, HEY, I KNOW IT'S KIND OF LATE IN THE GAME, BUT WE REALLY DO NEED PEOPLE TO WORK AT THIS ELECTION IS IN MY TALK.
YOU GET ABOUT WORKING
AND THEN I'LL BE LIKE, HEY, SO-AND-SO IS AVAILABLE TO WORK.
I SENT YOU THE, UM, INFORMATION FOR THAT WHOLE WORKER AND EVERYTHING.
AND Y'ALL THINK I'M GOING BLUE MIRACLES.
I'M NOT, I'M NOT DOING ANY KIND OF MIRACLE DAY.
SO I'M TELLING YOU TO WORK IT.
AND THEN THESE PEOPLE DO MORE WORK.
I MEAN LIKE RESEARCH, THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET HIM OFF.
AND THE TRUST ME THE ORIGINAL TO GET INVOLVED.
NOW, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY I HAVE RIGHT NOW.
AND I DON'T KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I GET THAT ONE.
THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT ONE FORM THAT I SHOWED YOU, I'VE GOT MY DAD'S RIGHT HERE.
NOW I'M STARTING TO WARM RIGHT NOW.
HOPEFULLY THEY'LL NEVER HAVE KIDS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO START THE SCHOOLS PROBABLY SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER, YOU KNOW, GET IN THE SCHOOLS.
SO WE DON'T WANT NOVEMBER TO LOOK LIKE THE PRIMARY AT ALL.
NOW THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS WE EXPECT, OR SHOULD IT BE TRUE ABOUT YOUR COWORKERS? FIRST OFF, THEY NEED TO BE, THEY NEED TO RESTAURANT LAW WILL STEP FORWARD FOR THE WEBSITE.
AND I THINK Y'ALL NEED TO ENCOURAGE THEM.
WELL, YOU CAN'T BE THE PEOPLE DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO READ EVERYTHING.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY MOST OF THE BIGGEST ISSUE I HAVE WHEN I SENT AN EMAIL OUT, THEY DON'T READ, YOU DON'T READ THE WHOLE THING.
UM, WHAT I FOUND OUT IS SUCH A MORE EFFECTIVE TOOL WITH THE TEXT.
YOU CAN GO LESS THAN BE TEXT PEOPLE.
AND SO NOW IT'S, WE'RE TEXTS POPPING UP.
WHO IS THIS? WHERE'S THIS COMING FROM? IT'S FROM ME AND THE EASY VOTE PROGRAM BECAUSE PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO TEXT.
I ACTUALLY REALIZED I NEVER DID, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY PAY ATTENTION TO THE TEXT AND MONITOR.
OKAY? YOU NEED THE 10 HANDS HALL PASSES AND THEY'RE AVAILABLE.
UM, MOST, WELL, ALL OF THE HANDS ON CLASSES, DIDN'T FILL UP THIS GO ROUND.
WE HAD ENOUGH FOR PROBABLY 80 PEOPLE CURT WISE, 80 IN AS FAR AS, UM, POLL WORKERS MONEY, BUT ALL OF THEM DIDN'T FILL UP.
SO WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE THAT COULD BE TAKING THE CLASS AND ARE TAKEN ALL RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONSIDERED HANDS ON.
WE CAN'T MAKE IT MANDATORY THAT EVERYBODY CAN'T COME AND OF COVID RESTRICTION RIGHT NOW.
WE CAN'T SEE EVERYBODY IN THOSE LABS.
THAT'S WHY IT'S FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
THERE'S NO,
GET IT OUT FOR EVERYBODY THAT COMES IN PLAY.
WELL, I MEAN, THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE, YOU KNOW, MOST OF IT WAS BASED ON COVID RESTRICTIONS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WE CAN SEE.
THAT WAS A LOT OF HANDS ON WHEN WE DID THE, UM, WE CALL LIKE WE, WHEN WE GET HERE, UM, IN-PERSON IN-PERSON CLASSES.
WELL, WE PUT MACHINES IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM AND EVERYBODY WAS DOING LIKE, WE HAVE STAFF WITH THEM AND SHOW THEM STUFF, BUT THEY DIDN'T NECESSARILY, EVERYBODY HAD TO DO, DO I REDO THE GUYS? SO YOU DON'T HAVE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.
WE CAN MAKE YOU LOOK AT EVERYTHING.
UM, CAN Y'ALL HEAR ME THE PANTS ON TRAIN, BUT ONE THAT I THINK THAT IT'S SO, SO CRUCIAL AND IT SHOULDN'T
[05:10:01]
BE AN INVENTORY IS THE QUARKS, BECAUSE GUESS WHAT? THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO RECONCILE.HOW TO RECONCILE AT THE END OF THE DAY.
AND IT SHOULDN'T BE MANDATORY.
YOU CAN'T MAKE IT MANDATORY TRAINING.
DID WE MAKE THAT WORK? WHAT HAPPENS IS THE STATE DOESN'T EVEN SAY THAT THING WITHOUT EXTRA A HUNDRED DOLLARS, THEY SHOW UP TODAY.
WE JUST HAPPENED TO MAKE THAT EXTRA DRAG HAS ALL NUMBERED.
THE STATE SAYS THE CARTS GO TO EXTRA TRAINING, WE'LL GET MONITORED AT ALL.
WE TURNED THAT EXTRA TRAINING AND
I'M GOING TO BE MY WARRANT FOR THAT, RIGHT? YEAH.
WE WANT, WE WANT TO WORK FOR DOING EXTRA TRAINING.
SO AWKWARD CLASS FOR HANDS ON.
WE KIND OF, I THINK WE ACTUALLY PUT OUT THERE AS MANDATORY OR SOMETHING TO SOME EXTENT, I THINK WE MISSED WELL EASY.
GO MIX THEM ALL UP REQUIRED CLASSES.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE TRUTH, BUT THE CLARK'S CLASS OF A COURT.
WHAT THE GENERAL ELECTION, WHEN IT'S, WHEN IT'S A BIG ELECTION, THAT'S SPONSORED BY THE STATE.
UM, THEY DON'T MAKE IT MANDATORY.
THEY HARDLY RECOMMEND THAT THEY GO AND IF THEY GO, THEY GET THE INCENTIVE TO GO.
WE DON'T REALLY HAVE AN ISSUE IN BUFORD COUNTY BECAUSE ONCE WE SAY WE HAVING MANDATORY OR REQUIRED, UM, CLARK'S TRAINING, MOST OF THEM COME.
THE ONLY TIME THEY DON'T SHOW UP IS IF THEY ARE NOT IN TOWN WHEN, WHEN THE SESSION IS GOING ON, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE CLERKS COME INTO THE CLASS.
NO, LET ME TELL YOU, AND THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE AND THIS IS, I ONLY HAVE THE ONE WITH MR.
HE USED THE CLERK OUT WITH PEOPLE IN THE FACILITY ONTO THE BIRD AND, UM, HE'S A VOLUNTEER AND HE MISSED ALL THE ONLY CLASS.
HE MISSED SIGN UP FOR CLASS THAT WAS CONVENIENT FOR HIM TO CATCH THE FERRY OVER.
SO HE PAID FOR A WATER TAX TO COME TO CLASS CAN BE FOR $200 EACH WAY.
YOU PAY $400 TO COME TO THE CURRENT CANCEL CLASS.
THAT'S HOW DEDICATED PEOPLE ARE.
AND I FELT SO BAD WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT.
I SAID, JUST DON'T WANT TO RAISE HIM.
NO, HE SAID, LET'S GO BEFORE THE, TO CALL.
I SHOULD'VE SIGNED UP IN TIME TO CALL WHEN THE FARRIER WAS DONE.
I SAY, NO, HE SAID HIS JUDGMENT.
BUT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, WE HAD THREE CLERKS WHO DID NOT ATTEND MANDATORY JOURNEY OR WHO DID NOT ATTEND FOR HANDS ON WHY THEY GO OUT OF TOWN.
SHE WAS TRYING TO KIND OF LIKE SHE COULD, AND ONE JUST BEING ON THE LINE, I'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE SITUATION.
I WILL SAY THIS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT MANDATORY.
ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY SAY IS REQUIRED, I REQUIRE MY THOUGHTS TO GO.
SO I TELL THEM YOU MUST ATTEND SO THAT YOU CAN WORK ON ELECTION DAY.
SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN TELL YOUR CLERKS AND WHY DON'T THEY GIVE YOU THE LIST OF ALL THE ATTEMPT, YOU KNOW? SO YOU CAN SAY, HEY, I HAVE ALL MY CLOTHES ATTENDED.
HE CAN SAY, WELL, THESE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE ATTENDED SO FAR.
OKAY, THAT'S GOOD THAT THEY'RE AT 10, BUT I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO ATTAIN SOMETHING BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN
SO WE WILL BE CONCENTRATING ON THAT EVEN IN THE REGULAR TRAINING.
SO EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
I KNOW WE TALKED A WHILE AGO ABOUT HAVING A LIST OF THINGS AND LOOK FOR WHEN YOU GO AROUND, I'VE GOT A LIST I GREW AROUND THE LAST HOUR AND A HALF ASKING EVERYONE, MY CLERKS, ARE YOU OKAY? RECONCILING YOUR BELT? IF YOU'RE NOT, LET'S GO THROUGH IT REAL QUICK.
AND I JUST GO THROUGH WITH THEM RIGHT THERE.
AND BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND IT WAS HIM USING HIS ADELE WAS BETTER
[05:15:01]
THAN HIM, BUT I JUST GO THROUGH EACH OF THEM.AND I ALSO TRY TO LOOK AT EVERYONE WHO'S OF THE BALLOT.
UM, IT WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU PUT THE INFORMATION ON THE DEN GUM THING AND MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED.
BUT THEN DURING THE CANVAS YOU CAN SAY, OH, WELL, I TALKED TO THIS CLERK AND YOU'D GIVE US A BACKGROUND, WHICH IS HELPFUL.
UM, GOING BACK TO KNOWING YOUR EQUAL, THAT KIND OF WILL HELP YOU DETERMINE LIKE, OKAY, WELL I KNOW THAT I CAN'T HAVE THAT PERSON BE IN A POSITION ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW? I MEAN, WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME AND VERNON AND ALL THE TECH, ME AND VERNON AND THE IT PEOPLE SAYING, PLEASE DON'T USE THEM ANYMORE.
THEY'RE TEARING UP THE MACHINES.
THEY'LL SEND THEM BACK BROKEN LAPTOPS AND STUFF.
THE WHOLE THING, THE SITUATIONS WHERE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THAT PERSON DO THAT.
BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE ASKED, ONE OF THE BLUE BAY ON THE BORDERLINE WAS GOT IT.
SO KNOWING THAT PEOPLE IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WHO CAN HANDLE SOMETHING WHO CAN, AND IF YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION YOU WANT MY OPINION, I'LL BE THERE ALL THE TIME.
BUT I THINK IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT USED TO BE WHEN EVERYBODY WOULD WALK UP IN FRONT OF ME TO SIGN IN WHEN THE PERSON TRAINING.
BUT I STILL TALKED TO ALMOST EVERYBODY AND I CAN GET A SENSE OF, YOU CAN KIND OF PICK UP A LOT OF THINGS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO PEOPLE.
AND ONCE HE SIGNED UP, WHEN HE ALWAYS SIGN UP FOR THE CLASSES, ONCE HE GETS TO TALK TO HIM, MEAN, I'M TELLING YOU, THEY WILL TELL YOU, THEY, I, I TRIED THIS POINT, NOT DECIDED ANYBODY.
ONE TIME I SIGNED HIM FOR A CLASS.
IT WAS WHEN THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE, WELL, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE THERE YET, BUT, BUT IF THEY REALLY WON'T BE ABLE TO DO IT OUTSIDE THEM UP, THE MOST OF THEM
YOU REALLY WORK, OKAY? THIS, THIS LITTLE BACK OF WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CHECKLIST, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR PEOPLE, FOLLOW YOUR CHECKLIST.
I CAN SAY THIS BECAUSE WHEN YOU TALK TO SOME OF THEM, LIKE WHEN THEY COME BACK FOR YOU AND STUFF THAT I KNOW VERNON, THAT'S BRINGING THE STUFF THAT, AND THEY BELIEVE THE LITTLE BOX THING ABOUT A BABY MOVE OUT BOX.
AND SO I SAID, DID YOU FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST? YEAH.
I THOUGHT IT SAID THIS AND I WANT IT BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT THERE BRINGING THE BIG BLUE BOX BACK, YOU KNOW, EVERY CLERK THAT CAME TO THE HANDS-ON CLASS, WE'LL TAKE YOU UP ON THE VIDEO AT THE END.
BUT I'M THINKING IF I LEFT THE BOX, NOPE.
NOBODY HAD OPENED THE BOX THIS TIME.
CAUSE THE VIDEO WE HAD AT THE END WAS THE BOTTOM OF DANIEL BLUE BOX.
AND HOW
ALSO A 10 MENTOR REFUND, IF ASSIGNED UNTIL NEXT TO THE OPPOSITE, YOU'LL MAKE SURE YOU PEOPLE COVER.
I EVER BE WHO YOU TO MAKE SURE THEY ATTEND THAT BRIEFING, ESPECIALLY WITH VIRTUAL VERSUS YOU HAVING TO TEACH IT.
19 CLASSES THAT WE DID BETWEEN ME MERIDIAN AND
SO THERE WAS OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY TO BE IN SOME KIND OF FINE.
UM, I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT IF ALL REMAINED STEADY WITH THE CDC AND COLWIN AND ALL THAT FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, WE WILL PROBABLY BE BACK IN PERSON.
WE MAY NOT BE DOING VIRTUAL AGAIN.
THAT DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION.
UM, YOU KNOW, IN THE NEXT COMING MONTHS.
SO LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT COVID THEY GET PAID AND WE CAN START ULTIMATE IN PERSONAL TRAINING AGAIN.
WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT
YOU WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT DOING THE JOB, THAT'S BIGGER THAN THE FRIENDSHIP THAT YOU TRY TO HAVE WITH THEM BECAUSE THAT REFLECTS BACK ON EVERYTHING THAT WE DO, THEY SCREW IT UP.
SO I MET THE PRINCIPAL THAT CAN BE MAD, BUT WE DON'T LIKE HIM NO MORE, BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESN'T.
HEY, UM, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT IT OVER AND I THINK IT'D BE MORE APPROPRIATE THAT WE HAD SOMEBODY
[05:20:01]
ELSE WHO THIS POSITION, NEXT TIME WE DID, WE ACTUALLY DID THAT MAN AT THE DOOR.AND THE PRESIDENT HAPPENED LATITUDE AT FIRST AND THEN THEY KIND OF CAME AROUND, BUT IT WAS NEEDED.
AND IT'S BEEN YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, BUT IT WORKED AND IT WASN'T THAT.
UM, NO LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY THE WAY CLOSEST
CAUSE THE DELI UNDER THE SUN CITY, YOU KNOW, I HAVE PEOPLE IF A BRIGHT DAY.
AND THEN WE SLIP IT UP AS THE WEB WORK ONCE 26 AND 1 28.
YOUR PEOPLE, THE REST OF Y'ALL.
AND SO IT'S DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO GET OR SOME CROSS OVER.
THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS USED TO SAY HAUL THEM.
AND BEFORE YOU GET THEM COMMIT, HEY, ARE YOU WORKING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE ALREADY? WHO DO YOU GO ON WITH? THEY WORK FOR ALL THE WAYS.
SHE DON'T LIKE TO USE ABSOLUTE TERMS, MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ASK THEM, DO THEY WORK FOR SOMEBODY ELSE BEFORE YOU CAN GET UP TO WORK FOR YOU? OKAY.
MAKE EVERY POSSIBLE CONCEIVABLE TO ASK THEM IF THEY WORK WITH SOMEBODY ELSE BEFORE YOU SIGN THEM UP TO WORK FOR YOU.
BECAUSE THERE'S SOMEBODY, ELSE'S PEOPLE AND FEELINGS GET BAD ON THE BOARD BECAUSE HEY, THAT'S MY PERSON.
AND THEN, WELL, THEY TOLD ME, YES.
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD KNOW, WELL, YOU GOT TO LET THEM KNOW WHO YOU ARE TO.
EVEN WHEN YOU CALL THEM TELLING YOU THAT, HEY, I'M BOARD MEMBER AND I NEED YOU TO WORK.
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO IT IS, BUT YOU IN A SENTENCE, WHAT IS THE DEAL? EVEN TELL SOMETIMES.
AND THEN THEY'LL SEND ME THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHERE THE PERSON DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY WOULD WANT TO WORK.
SO MAKE EVERY CONCEIVABLE POSSIBLE, ASK THEM, DO THEY WORK FOR SOMEBODY ELSE BEFORE YOU CAN DO IT, BUT WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON AND THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT IS ACTUALLY GIVE YOU A LIST OF YOUR PEOPLE FOR NOBODY EVER IS EASY, BUT WE WILL TRY TO GET THAT, YOU KNOW, CAUSE SOME OF YOUR PEOPLE WILL WORK WITH THEM OR WANT TO, WHICH IS THE OTHER ISSUE.
WE HAD PEOPLE WORKING IN LOVE THROUGH THE VICE VERSA, WHO WANTS TO KNOCK ARTISTS OUT OF PLACE.
THAT'S WHERE THEY, YOU DON'T LIKE SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO WORK IN THE SUZIE AND I PUT THEM WHERE THEY WANT TO WORK AND THE KIDS AND ALSO, WELL, I THINK AS LONG AS YOUR NICE YEAH, AS LITTLE WORK AS QUALIFIED, WE WILL CALL THEM OUT TO THE APPROPRIATE AREA.
SO THAT MEANS WHEN A PERSON COMES IN AND LIKE THESE PEOPLE DON'T AGREE TO DO, OBVIOUSLY I'M LOOKING AT WHERE THEY LIVE AND I'LL PUT THEM IN WHO DATABASE THEY SHOULD GO TO.
AND THEN YOU CALLED HIM AND HE SAID, WALK BACK TO WORK.
BUT WHEN THEY COME IN, I KNOW IT IN, I WANT TO PUT THEM IN THEIR APPROPRIATE TO WORK WITH THE STUDENTS.
I DON'T WANT TO TELL STUDENTS WHERE TO.
AND ONCE HE GAVE ME
SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME TO THE MENTOR BRIEF.
WE TRADE THEIR FIRST MANDATORY REASON.
ONE WOULD BE GIVEN THEIR INITIAL TRAINING AFTER THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO ATTEND.
AND THEY'RE GOOD ABOUT THAT TOO.
SOMETIMES THEY COME BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE, BUT THEY'RE VERY INTO THE POCKET.
SO WE'VE DEFINITELY TAUGHT
ANY QUESTIONS I WAS TOLD IN UNCERTAIN TIMES.
AND WE WENT FROM NUMBER IN NOVEMBER.
SO WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO GET ON THAT AND TRY TO GET HOW BAD YOU'RE TRYING TO GET AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND MANY OF THE STUDENTS THAT HAVE GONE ON TO, UM, THIS, THAT AS ONE OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS ON THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS.
AND I JUST THINK IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB.
AND WORKING WITH THOSE YOUNG HIGH SCHOOLS, SHE SAID THAT CAUSE HER SON GOT A SCHOLARSHIP, BUT NO, I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU A COUPLE OF, WELL, SHE'S GOT ONE OF MY STUDENTS AND I
[05:25:01]
HAD HER WHEN I WAS WORKING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND I'VE KNOWN HER EVER SINCE THEN, SHE'S BEEN WITH THE BEST CAR.SHE HAD WORKED A COUPLE OF ELECTIONS, TIARA.
SHE'S A, SHE'S A FORMER STUDENT WHO ENDED UP BEING A FULL MANAGER.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE QUARTER.
SO WE START ON NOW YOU STOP HERE.
SHE WENT, NO, SHE'S NOT EVEN TALKING TO ME.
SHE'S 23, 22, 23, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WE USED TO HAVE A SHEET THAT SAID I WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT THOSE BACK OUT THERE.
ONE VR AND THE LESSONS IT MANAGER.
AND UM, BEFORE I GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED, EVERYTHING, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I LEFT OUT A SLOT, BUT IT'S REALLY JUST FOR MORE ABOUT HR.
WE'RE USED TO TALKING ABOUT IT AND UH, I'LL TALK ABOUT IT WHEN I GET TO THE END ABOUT SECURITY.
JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, BUT FOR THIS PURPOSE, UM, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU GUYS AN IDEA OF WHAT MY ROUTINE ONLY DOES WHEN I GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS DURING THE PHASES OF THE ELECTION AND JUST TO KIND OF MORE FAMILIAR WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE DO BACK IN MY CELL, I HAVE MICHAEL GIBBS AND GREG DASKAL AND THEY'VE BEEN A GREAT ASSET.
ALL RIGHT, FIRST, WE'LL START OFF WITH, DURING THIS LAST SERIES OF SESSIONS, I'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY MANY GROUPS, UH, DURING MY PUBLIC TESTS AND THEY WERE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT, DO YOU GUYS HAVE A CERTIFICATE? WE EQUIPMENT ITSELF.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU WANT KNOW, UM, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY MIGHT WANT LIKE BOY SCOUTS CERTIFICATE OR MARINE HORSES IN GIVEN ALL THESE OTHER TRAINING, WHAT THEY WERE ASKING ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT.
SO AT THE TIME, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THINGS, WE ARE LIKE, I TALKED TO LINCOLN, WE WERE WORKING WITH IT'S, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A CHAIN OF COMMAND.
WE ALWAYS GO BY, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE MY CHAIN MANAGED YOUR WINDOW MARINE AND COURSE DID BOARD INSTALLATION COMMISSION.
SO, SO THE STATE POLICE COMMISSION IS PRETTY MUCH OUR HIGHEST CHAIN OF COMMAND.
AND I WAS A MEDIA WITH WHERE THEY OPERATIONALIZE THINGS.
NOW I'M JUST THE FACILITATOR OF EVERY EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE AND STUFF.
SO WHEN YOU GUYS WATCH THE TIMMY KSB CONTACT, THE STATE, THEY GAVE US PRETTY MUCH A CERTIFICATE THAT CAME FROM ORGANIZATION THERE'S WAS LIKE SHOP
SO, BUT ANYWAYS, THE CERTIFICATE COMES FROM THE ELECTION, UM, LOTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION, THE EAC, RIGHT? AND I ACTUALLY DID SOME RESEARCH MYSELF AND WENT TO THE WEBSITE AND FOUND THE RIGHT THERE ALSO, UM, WHICH PRETTY MUCH PROVES THAT YOU HAVE A CERTIFICATE THAT I HAVE IN OFFICE NOW, RIGHT? WHEN YOU BRING THE NAVAL TIME, HE ASKED ME WHAT I MADE A COPY FOR.
YOU WANT TO REQUEST OUR NEXT PUBLIC TASK SO THEY CAN SEE THAT.
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY ON THE WEBSITE, UM, WHICH THEY DO THEIR TESTING.
UM, AND THE STATE LAW FOR SOUTH ATLANTA HAS BEEN, IT'S BEEN CERTIFIED BY THE STATE SALE.
THERE'S PERMISSION TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THEIR STUFF WITH THE DAC, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, UH, DETESTED IT WAIT FOR A WEEK.
OUR CURRENT VOTING SYSTEM FOR ELECTION SYSTEM SOFTWARE, WHICH IS OUR PARENT COMPANY.
IT'S, UH, THE EBS IS ALLEGEDLY GOING SYSTEM.
HE IS OUR 6.1 0.1 0.0, WHICH IS THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE POINT SYSTEM THAT WE USE, UM, FOR ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT, FROM THEIR CONTROL, THIS ALL COLLECTION WHERE, UM, THE AC CERTIFY ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT FOR NOT JUST ONLY FOR US, BUT FOR PRETTY MUCH ALL OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND ALSO ANY OTHER STATE.
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER STATES FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO ARKANSAS,
[05:30:02]
TO TEXAS, TO SEVERAL STATES THAT U S NOT ALL OBVIOUSLY WERE LIKE US.OUR STATE IS PRETTY MUCH BEEN ONE OF THE TWO STATES THAT COLLECTIVELY ALL 46 COUNTIES USE THE SAME EQUIPMENT FROM ESNS.
SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ON OTHER COUNTIES.
OTHER STATES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA, NORTH CAROLINA, UNDER A CERTAIN, UH, EACH COUNTY IS LIKE, YOUR LAWS ARE LIKE, THEY GOVERN YOUR HOME COUNTIES AS FAR AS HAVING TO APPROVE THE ELECTRIC LIMIT.
THEY WANT TO USE, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, NORTH CAROLINA, I FOUND OUT WHERE MY PARENTS LIVE IN JACKSONVILLE, OSLO COUNTY.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE USING RDS, DO HUNTERS.
THEY USE HARVEST THIS, FOUND THAT OUT, JUST LIKE ONCE THE AC WEBSITE BREAKS IT DOWN BY EACH COUNTY, EVERY STATE WHO USES WHAT TEXAS THERE'S LIKE A SPRAY OF ANYBODY THAT USES STUFF.
SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE LET LEARNED.
THE CERTIFIED CERTIFICATION NUMBER IS NECESSARY CERTIFICATION NUMBER.
AND OF COURSE, UM, ALL THESE TESTING WAS COMPLETE IN JULY, 2020.
SO, UM, THAT PLEASE ASK ABOUT CERTIFICATIONS.
WE HAVE CERTIFICATE, THEY CAN COME BY OFFICE AND WE'LL PRESENT TO THEM, OR THEY CAN, UH, GO DIRECTLY RIGHT TO THE LINKEDIN WEBSITE
AND OF COURSE, JUST BRING IN YOUR VITAL INFORMATION.
CAUSE THAT WAS JUST A SHOCK, ISN'T IT? SO LET'S TALK ABOUT REAL QUICK.
LET ME USE, WELL, PRETTY MUCH HERE BY SOME MEDIA WITH IT, BUT THIS IS THE THINGS THAT WE MAINTAIN.
SO WE WERE, WE'VE HAD AN ELECTION WHERE SOFTWARE THAT WE USE THE EXPRESSIBLE 200, WHICH IS OUR, UM, INDIVIDUAL BALLOT TABULATED SCATTER, WHICH IS USED AT OUR OWN PLACE SITES OR ELECTION DAY, AND IS ALSO USED FOR OFF, UH, LIKE THE CANVAS HERE, WHEN YOU DO THE FAIL, SAFE OUT PROVISIONAL BALLOTS AND THE PROVISIONAL BALLOT, IS THERE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE THERE'S TWO SIDES OF ALEX.
THEY HAD ONE SEPARATELY, THEY HAD YES, FOUR 50, WHICH IS OUR CENTRAL VALLEY HAS HAPPENED LATER RULES THAT ARE TWO BIG, HUGE, LARGE ONES TO HAVE RUN PALACE THROUGH THEM FOR OUR MEAL VALUES.
UM, ABOUT THE PARTS OF THE ME TOO.
AND WE DID TEST IT OUT BEFORE TOO, SO, AND OUR EXPRESSIBLE.
SO LECTURING, WHERE, WHAT IS ELECTION WHERE THAT AREA IS OUR SOFTWARE AS A RULE BY SAILORS COMMISSION, WHICH WE USE, THIS IS HOW WE, UM, PRETTY MUCH WHAT I DO WHEN WE, UH, PROGRAM ELECTIONS.
NOW THERE IS SOME LIMITATIONS THAT WE HAVE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, FOR EXAMPLE, I'VE NOT PROGRAMMED THE WHOLE ELECTION.
MY MAIN ROLE IS AT THE SAME ELECTION COMMISSION HAS DATABASE PROGRAMMERS THAT BUILD THE ELECTION FOR US FOR ALL 46 COUNTIES.
UM, NOW WE HAVE SOME NEW STAFF THAT YOU'RE ASSIGNED TO AT THE TIME OF THE JUNE PRIMARY.
AND THEN WE HAD TO WE'RE DOWN TO TWO DEVOTEES AND NOW HE HAS SOME MORE PEOPLE COMING IN.
SO EVERYONE WAS JUST ABOUT TO BUILD A DATABASE COMPLETELY FROM START TO FINISH.
AND THEN WHAT THEY DO IS THEY WILL ZIP THAT WHOLE DATABASE.
THE OLD KIND OF SAVE THE OLD DATABASE THAT THEY BUILT FOR THE COUNTY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL COUNTY.
AND THEN THEY PUT IT INTO WHAT'S CALLED A FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL OF SITES, WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL FTB AND FTP SITES ARE REALLY PRETTY MUCH A SECURE.
AND MOST OF THE CASES THEY'RE SECURED SITES WHERE FILES LARGER THAN 25 MEGABYTES ARE SENT TO, UH, THROUGH A SECURE SITE, A SECURED LINE TO THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL, RECEIVING IT, AND TO RECEIVE A LARGE BOX.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T BE SENDING AN EMAIL AND A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THEY'LL BE SENT.
WE WANT TO SIT INTO A SECURE FILE FOR, UH, FDB SITES WHERE NO OTHER ENTITIES CAN GET ACCESS TO IT, UNLESS THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO TRY IT, BUT IT'S ALL MONITORED BY SLANT AND ALL THESE OTHER DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE FBI AND EVERYBODY'S MOC IS MONITORED, UH, CONSTANTLY.
AND THAT WAY THAT ANY INFORMATION TRANSFERRED THEY'LL GET A NOTIFICATION MEANS SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO BE TRUE INTO THE ACTUAL SYSTEM.
SO THAT'S HOW I GET MY FILE AND WE GET THE FILE DOWNLOADED TO A SECURE DUMP DRIVE, WHICH ALSO HAS, UM, A SECURITY LOCK ON IT.
SO WHERE I HAD TO PUT A CODE IN ALONG WHO IS NOT SHORT
AND THAT WAY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRANSFER FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, YOU ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT ENOUGH TRANSFERRING, MEANING THAT COULD BE VIRUSES OR ANY TYPE OF PERSONAL ATTACKS.
OUR INTERNET LINE IS MONITOR THROUGH OUR COUNTY IT DEPARTMENT.
SO WE HAVE A DEDICATED COMPUTER THAT IS MAINLY CONNECTED TO OUR COUNTY LINE TO MONITOR FOR FILE TRANSFER.
AND WHEN IT'S NOT INACTIVE USE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
[05:35:01]
SO THE COMPUTER'S NOT ON 24, 7, IT'S ON LONG WHEN I NEED TO USE IT.AND THAT IS A SECURITY MEASURE BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SECURED THUMB DRIVE AT THE SAME REPLY TO US.
EVERY COUNTY HAS A SET OF RULES, THOSE SPECIFIC SECURE COMPRISE.
IF NOBODY CAN'T GET ACCESS TO IT, YOU PUT THE CODE IN SEVERAL TIMES WRONG.
IT'S ONE OF WHITE EVERYTHING ON CONTRACT.
UM, SO LET'S SEE WHERE IT GOES.
WHEN IT GETS TO US, WE PRETTY MUCH ARE RESTORING THE ELECTION THAT THEY CREATED.
AND FROM THERE WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE, UM, WHAT DO WE CALL IT PACKAGING? SO WHAT YOU CAN DO ALL OF OUR PROGRAMMING, ALL OF OUR, UH, ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT THAT WE USE FROM THE SCANNERS TO THE, UM, VITAL MARKET DEVICES.
AND OF COURSE WE ALSO HAVE, THEY GAVE US THE PDFS OF THE ACTUAL PAPER BALLOTS THAT WE GO THROUGH EVERYTHING IN DETAIL.
AND LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE, EXPRESS BOLD, VALID, WE'VE CALLED THE BLD ABOUT MARKING DEVICE.
OF COURSE, YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT WE USE FOR ALL OUR MOTORS USED SIMILAR ON IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND WAS USES, UH, UP TO, UH, WELL, THE SMALLEST IT'S A 14 INCH BALLOT.
UM, I FORGOT THE WIDTH OF IT, BUT IT'S VERY SHORT, BUT THE LENGTH IS 14.
IF YOU GO TO, CAN TAKE UP TO 19 INCHES AND THERE ARE SOME STATES THAT USE IT BECAUSE OF PEN, DEPENDING ON THE JILL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WHERE IN CONTESTS ARE REALLY HUGE AMAL, YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE LIKE GENIUS, BUT FOR US, THE STANDARD WE'VE BEEN USING SINCE WE'VE BEEN USING SINCE 2019 HAS BEEN 14 INCHES.
AND, UH, OF COURSE IT'S THERMO.
AND SO WHILE WE'VE SEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL RADIO DEVICES AND WE'VE SEEN SOME FOUNDERS WITH IT, BUT OF COURSE WE TEST ALL THOSE THINGS, OKAY, LET'S KEEP GOING.
OF COURSE WE HAVE THE, THE END THAT HE HAS 200, WHICH IS OUR BIG SCANNER.
MOST OF YOU MIGHT'VE CAUSED THE NICKNAME, THE TRASHCAN, BUT, UM, BUT IT GETS THE JOB DONE.
UM, THIS CAN READ BOTH THE 14 INCH, UH, SMALL BALLOT CARDS.
AND WE USE FROM THE, UM, BELL MARTIN DEVICES, BUT YOU CAN ALSO READ THE EIGHT AND A HALF BY SEVEN, USUALLY FOUR TO EIGHT AND A HALF BY, UM, LET'S SEE, WAS IT BY C 14, DIMINISHED UP
AND OF COURSE WE KNOW ALL THE FEATURES OF IT.
SO THIS IS WHAT WE USE AT THE HOME PLACES, EARLY VOTING TO SUPPORT.
AND OF COURSE THE
THEY BOTH SAY, UM, HOPEFULLY, UH, I'M TRYING TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST CANDIDATES TO TRY OUT THE 9 58, 9 50, UH, AND HIS SKIN IS BETTER, BUT THIS ONE, LIKE IT DOES GET JOB DONE WHEN YOU NEED TO GET DONE IN RIO TO APPROXIMATELY 17 BALANCE.
UM, ACTUALLY THIS ONE, I THINK IT'S A 71,000, I'M SORRY, 71 MILES INDIVIDUALLY AND A PERMIT.
WE HAVE TWO OF THOSE, WHICH WE USE FOR OUR MALE IMBALANCE.
AND, UM, I CAN'T SAY THAT IT'S, UH, HAS HELPED US OUT A LOT WITH THE LESSONS.
NOW, UM, WE ALSO DO THE EXPRESS FULL ALL.
THESE ARE IMPLEMENTED TO US BACK IN 20 19, 20 20 BEFORE THE 20, 20 GENERAL ELECTION PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
AND OF COURSE THESE ARE A LITTLE MORE OF A CHALLENGE.
UM, BUT THEY'VE BEEN REALLY GOOD AS FAR AS THEY REPLACED OUR EBR LAPTOPS.
AND OF COURSE THE REST IS HISTORY.
YOU DO HAVE, UM, A NEWER CASE FOR THEM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY LIKE THE, UH, IT'S STILL, IT'S STILL, UH, IT'S LATER PHASES, EARLY PHASES OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH IT.
WE'RE TRYING TO COMMIT ME TO THINGS WITH IT, WATCH SO FAR, IT HAS DONE THE JOB.
WE JUST STILL HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO FOR ME A LOT.
SO LET'S GO INTO WHAT I NORMALLY DO.
AND, UM, I'VE BROKEN THIS DOWN INTO DATES AND WEEDS AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, TO ELECTION AND SO FORTH.
SO WE HAVE THE 90 DAYS, 60 DAYS, 30 DAYS, TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO ELECTION, TWO WEEKS THROUGH ONE VAPE ELECTION, UM, BEFORE THE ELECTION AND ELECTION DAY ELECTION NIGHT PROCEDURES AND THEN POST ELECTION AND IN CERTIFICATION DAY.
SO 90 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ELECTION, I'M REVIEWING DISTRICT RELATIONS, INFORMATION, RATIO, VOTERS, AND DISTRICT INFORMATION ALSO THAT IS, UH, I HAVE MY OWN, UH, PERSONALIZED SPREADSHEET THAT WE USE.
I PRETTY MUCH GO TO OUR VOTER REGISTRATION ELECTIONS SYSTEM
[05:40:01]
RUNS FOR SHORT FROM THE STATE, AND I PRETTY MUCH PULL UP A REPORT ON, AND IT'S A BREAKDOWN OF EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION OF BOWEL SALVAGE.YOU CAN GET FROM OUR DISTRICT RELATIONS, WHICH MEANS IT'S LIKE, WHERE DO YOU LIVE AT? SO IF YOU HAVE A HOUSE DISTRICT SENATE SCHOOL BOARD, THE ED IS BROKEN DOWN BY PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY ARE RACER VOTERS WHO LIVE IN THOSE TYPES OF COMBINATION SLEEVES.
SO I DID ONE BIG MASSIVE FIRST.
THIS IS THIS, BASICALLY EVERYTHING ALTOGETHER.
AND THAT'S HOW I BUILD MY MASTER SPREADSHEET.
UM, ONCE I DO MY MASTER SPREADSHEET THAT I'D BE ABLE TO KNOW BASED ON THE ELECTION COMING UP, FOR EXAMPLE, BACK IN THE JUNE PRIMARY, I BUILT ONE VAN IN APRIL.
UM, AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE REDISTRICTING GOING ON.
SO I BUILT IT BASED UPON THE NEW REDISTRICTING INFORMATION.
ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET THAT, ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION, I WAS ABLE TO BUILD, UM, ALL MY BALLOT STYLES, WHICH WAS AT THE TIME 120, IT WAS 129 OUT.
AND OF COURSE WHAT THE, WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE, THEIR, THEIR DATABASE AND, UM, FOR THE STATE, WHEN HE SENT IT TO US, THEY, OF COURSE IT DROPPED DOWN TO 1 23.
SO I CALLED HIM TO CONTACT THE STATE AND MAKE SURE WHAT'S GOING ON.
I NOTICED THAT WE'RE MISSING SOME BECAUSE THERE'S NO VOTER FOR THERE.
WELL, OF COURSE THOSE ARE WHAT WE CALL THOSE SLIPS ARE CALLED FAN SPLITS, WHICH MEANS THAT NOBODY EXISTED IN HERE BECAUSE NOBODY MOVED, OF COURSE, THE REST OF HOW WE ENDED UP HAVING 128 SLIDES.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE IN OUR ELECTION THAT KIND OF LIKE, WAIT A LITTLE HAYWIRE, UM, PRIMARY PRIMARY EVENT.
SO, UM, BUT THAT'S HOW I GET MY NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO I'M ALREADY WORKING WHEN I GET BACK, UH, PRIVATE NEXT WEEK, I'LL START ON THE NOVEMBER SIDE BECAUSE WE'LL FINISH THE JOB, THE STEP OF THE WARDS ON ALL THE LIVE IN A WARD, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL AWARD, UH, DISTRICTS.
SO ONCE I DO THAT, I'LL BE ABLE TO CREATE ANOTHER MASTER LIST AND GO FROM THERE, WE DETERMINE, AND ONCE THE STATE STARTS IN, THE DATABASE WILL BE LIKE THAT A LOT.
UM, THE NEXT THING IS CREATING POTENTIAL VALID STAFF.
IF YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT, UH, INVENTORY OF ALL ELECTION EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES, THAT'S THE NEXT THING THAT I DO.
SO WITH MY, MYSELF AND MY CREW, WE GO THROUGH AND WE DO A THOROUGH INVENTORY AT ALL, WORK WITH MINT, DO, UH, MAKING SURE WHICH ONES NEED TO GO OUT FOR MAINTENANCE.
AND YOU ALSO MAKE SURE WHICH ONES, UH, THAT WE GET BACK FROM THE PREVIOUS ELECTIONS WE CHECK AND MAKE SURE, OKAY, WHICH ONES ARE DAMAGED, WHICH ONES NEED TO GO FOR SERVICING.
AND WHICH ONES GAVE US LIKE A LITTLE DIFFERENT MEAL PROBLEM WITH THAT.
WE GAVE THEM OUR TECHNICIANS UPON HOME LOCATION TECHNICIANS FOR THE LAST ELECTION.
SO WE GO THROUGH A TROUBLESHOOT ON THOSE AND WHICHEVER ONES THAT ARE NOT, UH, FUNCTIONING, FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, WHERE YOU ARE SET UP, WHAT'S CALLED, UM, ON RNA TO OUR PARENT COMPANY TO BE SENT OUT TO THE MAILINGS, UM, VERIFY WE VERIFY POLLING LOCATIONS AND PRECINCTS AND CORRECT IN STATE VOTING REGISTRATION ELECTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
SO WE'RE VERIFYING HOME LOCATIONS.
ALSO, I DO THAT WITH MS. MARIE, UM, JUST TO MAKE SURE OUR POLLING LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE CURRENT ELECTION AND ALSO CHRISTINE, CHRIS, WE ALSO VERIFY, UM, ALL THE FULL SALES AND CONTACTED, AND WE'RE PREPARING TO GET A LIST OF ALL THE POLLING LOCATIONS WE'RE HAVING TO USE FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTION.
UH, THEY WERE CONTACTING, UH, PHONE LOCATIONS.
MOST OF THEM ARE SENDING THEM, UH, CONTACTING A CONE OR WHEREVER THE, OR EMAILS CORRESPONDING WITH CHECKING WITH CHRIS ALSO ABOUT THE DELIVERY OF OUR ELECTION EQUIPMENT THE DAYS.
AND YOU SAID BEFORE, UM, OF COURSE THE NEXT STEP IS WE'VE ORDERED VALID CARDS FOR BALLOT, PAPER SEALS AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLIES.
AND WE DO IT ON 90 DAYS BECAUSE USUALLY IF YOU WAIT TOO LONG, WE ALL KNOW HOW THERE WAS A PAPER SUPPLY, SHORTAGE CHANGE.
SO WE HAD TO MAKE SURE WE GET OUT OF, OUT OF THE CARDS AND EVERYTHING IN ADVANCE SO THAT WE WILL HAVE EVERYTHING PREPARED.
SO THAT WAY THERE'S NO DELAYS ON ANYTHING.
SO ANY TYPE OF SUPPLIES WE NEED IN OUR WAREHOUSE, WE ALREADY HAVE THEM.
SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WORK A LITTLE BIT LATER ON, BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU'RE REPORTING.
AND THEN WE CONTACT HOME PATIENT TECHNICIANS, I'M CONTACTING MY TECHNICIANS AND MY DELIVERY DRIVERS WAY AHEAD OF TIME THROUGH EMAIL TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTION.
[05:45:01]
LET'S SAY, HEY, I GOT TO WORK OUT OF THIS.AND WE HAVE SHORTAGE OF THOSE.
UH, IT'S NATURALIZING MYSELF AFRAID OF BEING OUT, BE DRIVING.
THAT'S FLOODED WHAT'S NEXT MONTH, 60 DAYS, UM, WE ARE IN, UH, COMMUNICATING WITH STATE PERMISSION.
THEY BUILD THEIR DATABASES AND, UH, BY THE 60 DAYS AT 7 45 DAYS, THEY'RE RELEASING THE DATABASE, ALL THE COUNTIES AND USUALLY SEND IT THROUGH A CORRESPONDENCE THAT US KNOW THAT OUR DATABASE IS READY TO BE TESTED IN FTP.
SO WE'LL THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE DATABASE, I'M CHECKING FOR CANDIDATE NAMES, CONTEST, TITLES, OFFICES, PUNCTUATION, BOUNCE STYLES, AND DISTRICT INFORMATION.
SO LIKE I SAY, WHEN THE LAST ELECTION WAS 123 BOWEL STYLES, AND I GOT THEM, I WENT THROUGH ALL HUNDRED 23, 1 BY ONE, AND IT WAS THEM DEMOCRATIC AND ABOVE CAUSE YOU HAVE TWO PARTIES IN A PRIVATE, SO YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH 246 TIMES TOTAL, WELL, 226 TIMES, ONE BY POINT CHECK IN THE NATION BECAUSE THESE ARE POTENTIAL VOTERS WHO ARE GOING TO BE IN THOSE CONTEXTS.
IF THEY'RE NOT AS ACCURATE, THEN IT CAUSED US SOME ISSUES.
AND LIKE I SAY, WE'VE SEEN THAT ALREADY.
UM, THERE WERE INVENTORY, ALL ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS, AGAIN, WE'RE USING OUR EASY BUTTON SYSTEM, UM, AND THEN RECORDING WITH, UH, THE, UH, BALLOT ON MAILING BALLOT VENDOR, WHICH IS WE USE THIS YEAR.
UH, WE USE SUN SOLUTIONS IN THEIR ESTATE AND, UM, A LOT OF THE OTHER COUNTIES, BIGGER COUNTIES WERE USING THEM BEFORE.
SO WE, UH, WENT WITH THEM THIS YEAR AND WE'RE, UH, WORKING WITH THEM ON SCHEDULING ON DISTRIBUTION OF HOW THEY'RE WORK IN THE BALANCED MEAL OUT, WORKING ON, ON, ON MARINE, WE'RE WORKING ON IN DESIGN, I'LL GO ON THE TEMPLATE OF THE UNLOADING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT 60 DAYS OUT AND WE CREATE ELECTION AND THE INVENTORY HAS ASSET MISMANAGEMENT SYSTEM CREATING A NEW ELECTION IN THERE, UH, PUTTING ALL THE EQUIPMENT, EVERYTHING, AND WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR.
AND OF COURSE WITHIN 45 DAYS YOU WILL CALL THEM UNIFORMED AND OVERSEAS CITIZENS ABSENTEE VOTING ACT.
UH, BALLOTS ARE MAILED OUT TO THE ELIGIBLE VOTERS AND WE'RE GETTING ALL THAT SIT OUT 45 DAYS, 30 DAYS.
AND WE'RE TESTING, TESTING, TESTING.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE STATE HAS IMPLEMENTED TO US.
WE TEST OUR DATABASE AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S CORRECT.
AND, UH, WE'RE DOING ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACCOMMODATIONS, SO UNFOLDING BALANCE, UM, PUTTING SPILLS ON THE BALANCE, UM, RIPPING AND TEARING THE MOUNTS TESTING EVERY COMBINATION.
CAUSE WHEN THE BALLOTS COME BACK, DON'T COME BACK PERFECTLY.
WE, WE SEND THEM OUT, THEY COME BACK WITH ALL KINDS OF RIPS AND TEARS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
NON-STOP UH, HIS LAST COLLECTION WAS THREE WEEKS OF STRAIGHT TESTING.
AND I ACTUALLY GAVE MYSELF AN EXTRA WEEK BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH ELECTION.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU GET THAT LITTLE AS IN HERE, BACK THEN WE'RE TESTING THE EARLY BOARDING EQUIPMENT.
SO WE'RE DOING ALL THAT SCHEDULING AND PUBLIC TESTS.
AND THOSE WERE INTERESTED IN MINE.
AND OF COURSE THIS LAST ELECTION, WE HAD A HILTON HEAD SPECIAL ELECTION IN FRONT OF ON THE SAME DAY AS EARLY VOTING.
THEN WE'RE SITTING ASKED TO MAIL OUT FUNDAMENTALS TO ALL THE VOTERS REQUESTED ACTION TEAM.
SO WE HAD TO CHECK ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, PREPARING THE ELECTION EQUIPMENT.
ALSO WITHIN THOSE HURDLES, WE'RE PREPARING ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AHEAD OF TIME TO GET FOR ALL OF OUR PHONES.
TWO WEEKS IN EARLY VOTING STARTS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A NEW LAW.
YES, NO MORE 30 DAYS, JUST TWO WEEKS.
AND UM, WE GOT THE LIVER TONE ON LOCATION SAY, NO, THAT WAS FUN.
UM, WITHOUT, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD, YOU KNOW, TO GO OUT INTO A LIBRARY, SET HIM UP, SET THAT LOCATION UP, YOU KNOW, PREPARE AND PEOPLE ARE VOTING AND EXPERIENCING THAT.
UM, AND THEN WE'RE FOR SOMEONE WE'RE HOLDING BRIEFINGS FOR CO-LOCATION TECHNICIANS INVOLVED WITH HANDS-ON TRAINING WITH MY PULLING LOCATION TECHNICIANS, BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF WHAT I TRAINED THEM IN CLASSES.
I HAVE TO TRAIN THEM ON EVERY DETAIL AND EVERY POSSIBLE WORST CASE SCENARIO THAT COULD HAPPEN TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE RELATIONSHIP EQUIPMENT FROM EQUAL BOOKS TO THE SCANNERS, TO THE BATTLE MARKET DEVICES.
AND, UH, I GOTTA SAY LIKE, UH, WITH MY, I USED A 10 IN THE SELECTION I COULDN'T USE, UM, I HAVE ONE THAT COULD NOT WORK.
SO I USUALLY HAVE 11 QUALIFICATION TECHNICIAN THROUGHOUT COURT COUNTY AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM DID A PHENOMENAL JOB OF COMMUNICATION.
THEY, UH, THEY SHOWED UP EARLY, THEY WERE OUT THERE AND WENT TO THE MOST, UH, TROUBLESHOOTING LOCATION, EVEN WHEN, DURING THE RUNOFF, THAT WAS EVEN A CHALLENGE.
[05:50:01]
THEY WERE ABLE TO REPORT WITH A LOT OF ISSUES THAT THEY MIGHT'VE SEEN WHEN ON, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, FOR THIS, YOU KNOW, THAT I DO ENCOURAGE ALL MY, ALL YOUR AMAZING BOARD MEMBERS TO JUST KIND OF LIKE WHEN WE DO A TRAINING, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO TALK ABOUT IT WITHOUT FIRST.AND EVERYBODY IS, UM, NOT TO BE A TECHNICIAN.
I KNOW WE HAVE HAD THIS ONE GUY THAT WAS, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, HE KIND OF GOT OFFENDED, BUT HE WAS UPSET BECAUSE HE FELT THAT WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF NOT ELECTION EQUIPMENT, BUT HIS KNOWLEDGE AND HIS WORK FIELD OF IT AND STUFF THAT HE COULD DO, WHATEVER HE WANT TO DO.
AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S LIKE, I TELL MY TECHNICIANS, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAY, IT'S HOW YOU SAY IT TO THEM.
SO WE HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE RESPECTFUL WITH THEM.
LIKE I SAID, OUR CLERKS ARE REALLY GREAT PEOPLE.
AND SO I JUST TRY TO ENCOURAGE THEM.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO NOT TOUCH THE EQUIPMENT.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU SEE A TECHNICIAN, OUR TECHNICIANS ARE REQUIRED TO TRAIN THEM, TO REPORT TO THE CLERK IMMEDIATELY.
AND THE CLERK IS REALLY GOING TO BE A WITNESS WITNESS FOR THEM TO WITNESS, WITNESS GOING ON.
AND SOMETIMES THE CLERKS OR THE POLL MANAGERS MIGHT SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND BECAUSE OF WHERE THAT POINT LOCATED THAT PLT MIGHT BE AT ANOTHER LOCATION.
AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, I WANT TO HOLD THE BATTLE CARD OUT.
OR WE HAVE SOMEBODY COOL ABOUT THE CARD OUT.
AND THEY PULLED THE WIRE THAT YOU CAN'T REACH BECAUSE IT'S SOLAR AND IT PULLED THE WHOLE WIRE OUT THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
SO, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS STRESS TO MY PHONE LOCATION TECHNICIANS, INCLUDING LUX.
I SAID, LOOK, IF IT'S NOT WORKING JUST SOCK LINE, IT IS THE LIMIT.
MY USE IT, WAIT UNTIL THE TECHNICIAN COME IN.
AND IN THAT WAY, BECAUSE THEY THEY'RE TRAINED.
I HAVE SHOWN THROW THE HANDS ON ONE BY ONE ON HOW TO PULL THAT BALLPARK.
YOU PULL UP THE WRONG WAY, YOU GOING TO PUT WIRES AND THAT'S, THAT'S A 5,000, 20, $2,900 AND 2,900, $2,900 EQUIPMENT.
THAT IS A VERY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT FOR CARE OF THIS STUFF.
AND LIKE I SAID, YOU HAVE A POLE CAUSE WE TRY TO TELL THEM NOT TO COME DOWN YET.
EVEN WITH THIS HANNAH'S THEME THAT WE TELL THEM, DON'T PANIC, JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH SERVICE, ONE PHONE, YOU KNOW, THE SCANNERS IS AN EMERGENCY DOOR SHOOT THAN THEY USE OPEN THE EMERGENCY DOOR UP OR THAT FLAP DOWN, CLOSING BACK, PUT A SEAL ON IT.
WHEN SHE SHOWED THE CORNERS WAS GOING TO BE PUT IN THE BACK GARDEN.
AND I'M JUST RUNNING BACK PART FOR THE EMERGENCY SHOE STORE UP UNTIL ABOUT MAYBE THREE TO 400 BALLOTS BEFORE IT GETS FULL.
AND UNTIL THE, OUR TECHNICIAN COMES LIVES AND THEY'LL BE ABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE BATTLE CARDS.
DON'T PANIC, DON'T, DON'T RUN, YOU KNOW? ALL RIGHT.
SO, UM, ALSO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PICK UP A DELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT.
UH, WE'LL PICK UP THE DELIVERY OF OUR TRUCKS.
SO WE USE FOR, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE USE FOUR, YOU WON'T TRUST 24, 26 QUARTERS.
UM, WE PICKED THEM UP WINDOW COORDINATES WITH THAT.
AND, UH, WE GET OVERRULED PARTICULARLY WITH THE TRUCKS UP, GAS HIM UP AND, UH, GET HIM READY FOR LOADING AND OFFLOADING.
WHEN THE TIME COMES WITH, UH, THEY WERE TRACKING WHILE YOU GOT PAST THE AND MAIL NOW WENT OUT.
SOMETIMES THE BIGGEST BULK CAN BE LIKE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION IS FOR THE STUFF WITH SOME ELECTIONS, IT MIGHT BE MAYBE 1200 VALUE BY 12, MAYBE 12,000.
MAYBE I WENT WITH THE NUMBER, BUT I'M GOING TO SAY LIKE, YOU COULD PROBABLY BE LIKE ALMOST 1500 POUNDS.
WE MIGHT BE OUT IN THE FIRST BATCH.
SO WITHIN THE TWO WEEKS, I'M ALREADY TRACKING TO SEE WHERE AND WHICH STATES AND PLACES THEY'RE GOING AT.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHEN IT HIT AND TURN BACK.
THAT'S A GOOD FEATURE OF THE NEW SYSTEM.
AND WE'VE NOT ONLY WE CAN SEE WHEN THEY GET TO THE LOCATION.
WE CAN ALSO SEE WHEN THE VOTER HAD MAILED THEM BACK TO THE POST OFFICE, POST OFFICE RECORDS IT.
AND WHEN IT'S SCHEDULED TO COME BACK TO THE OFFICE.
SO THAT'S A GREAT FEATURE THAT WE HAVE.
NOW, THE ONLY PLACES THAT WE CAN'T TRACK IS RURAL AREAS.
CAUSE THEY GOT PRIVATE MAIL CARRIERS.
SO IF THEY GOT SOME, YOU KNOW, MOST LIKE SAY YOU'RE ON ISLAND, THEY JUST HAVE SOMEBODY RIDE IN THE VAN WITH A YELLOW LIGHT AND THEY GO THROUGH THE MAILBOX, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A SCANNER.
SO YOU JUST KNOW THAT THEY JUST KNOW THAT THEY'RE VALID MY RENTAL.
I HAD TO CHECK THEM OUT BECAUSE I ASKED, SAY, WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR PALLET? SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS LIKE, I NEVER GOT IT FROM ME THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE IT IN THE SYSTEM.
AND THEN THEY FORCED ME TO TALKING ABOUT YOUR DELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT.
YOU HAVE THEM EVERYDAY DAYS, USUALLY TWO DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION, NORMALLY ON FRIDAYS, I MIGHT HAVE MY DIFFERENT SIDE DELIVERY.
MONDAYS WE'LL HAVE THE BLUFFTON AND HILTON HEAD, INCLUDING ALL OF OUR SUPPLIES BEING DELIVERED TO THE LIBRARY.
[05:55:01]
HAVE ALL THESE ELECTION SUPPLIES IN HERE AND OF COURSE ON THE HEADLIGHT AREA WOULD HAVE ALL THE SAME, BUT THE RED BOXES, THE BALLOT BOXES, ALL THE SUPPLIER WILL COMMENT, CHECK OUT, CHECKED OUT FOR THIS DISTRIBUTION.SO ALL THAT'S GOING ON ON A MONDAY, UH, THEN WE'RE SCHEDULING ANOTHER SEC, SECOND PUBLIC TEST, THE SECOND PUBLIC TEXAS FOR TAP LATER TO SHOW THE PUBLIC ON HOW OUR BOUNCE IS GOING TO BE TABULATED ON ELECTION MORNING.
AND THEY WOULD SEE THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, IF HE WILL SAY, WELL, HOW DO YOU TEST ME YOUR ASS EMAILS, ASKING MAIL BALLOTS, COME IN AND JUST RETESTING.
AND THAT'S COURTNEY USUALLY SOMETIMES THURSDAY, FRIDAY BEFORE LET YOU DO YOUR LECTURE AT NIGHT.
SO THAT'S GAME TIME RIGHT THERE FOR ME, USUALLY ZERO DARK DIRTY.
AND UM, WE'RE MOSTLY, WE'RE ASKING CALLS IN THE MORNING, RECEIVING CALLS FROM CLERKS, DEALING WITH, UH, TECHNICAL ISSUES AND ALSO MOSTLY TICKETING ISSUES IN THE MORNING, ALL DAY, THEY'RE GOING TO REPORT TO US, LET US KNOW THAT THEY'RE OPEN, BUT WE ALSO HAVE STAFF NOW RECEIVING CALLS AT THEIR OFFICE SPACES NOW, WHICH IS MUCH BETTER NOW THAN IT ACTUALLY COMES OUT.
AND UH, THEY HAVE A CHECKLIST.
THEY GO BY ASK THEM TO OPEN UP.
YOU WILL ALL THESE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE ZERO TAPE TO ZERO TAPES AND SO FORTH.
AND THAT'S BEEN WORKING OUT REALLY WELL, UH, FOR THIS LAST ELECTION.
UM, AND IF YOU PUT, IF YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT YOU LIKE, UH, IF YOU SEE THE NAME UNITY TO BE IMPLEMENTED, WE CAN DO MUCH BETTER.
I'M ONLY GOING TO HEAR THAT ONE, BUT SO FAR, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING EVERY DAY.
OF COURSE WE HAVE FOR MYSELF, I'M PRETTY BECAUSE YOU DON'T TAKE IN ELECTION WERE TO BE UPLOADED INTO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
WHAT'S YOUR WAY AHEAD OF TIME.
I'M DOING A ZERO REPORT, WHICH I AGREED THAT MORNING AND, UH, THAT INSTITUTE.
SO THAT WAY WE HAVE, UM, ALL MY REPORTS NEED TO BE IN A ZERO FOUR.
CAUSE IF SOMEBODY WAS TO SEE IT, DID YOU, HOW DID YOU START YOUR, UM, DID YOU HAVE ANY RESULTS IN BEFORE? AND SOMETIMES IT IS, IT'S A SAFE WAY BECAUSE WHEN I'M DOING TESTING, I GOT TO MAKE SURE I ZERO OUT EVERYTHING THAT I DID THAT TESTED.
SO THEN IT SHOWS UP IN THE REPORT.
SO IF I TESTED THREE, 3000 HOURS, SHOULDN'T HAVE WRITTEN OUT RESULTS ON EVENTUALLY.
SO MAKE SURE THAT THEN WHEN YOU OVER, UM, DURING THAT WHOLE TIME AT 9:00 AM OPENING HOUR KNOW IN YOUR OFFICE, MOST OF THE ASKING MALE BALANCE, YOU START WITH TABLETS AND PROCESS AT 9:00 AM ON OUR FOUR 50 VIEWS OF THE S 200 DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF ELECTION.
IT IS THE BIG ELECTION I'M USING TWO OF THOSE.
UM, ALSO HOME LOCATIONS IN THE MORNING, I PRAYED TO MICHAEL, THEY ARE USING, WHAT'S CALLED, UH, THE EXPRESS POLE, UM, EXPRESS COCONUT, UH, SIDE OF WEBSITE.
AND IT'S A SECURED SITE FOR M R E.
AND THEY'RE TRYING TO PULL BOOKS THAT WE USE THIS SITE ALLOWS US TO SEE IN REAL TIME, UH, WHEN YOUR ELECTRONIC POLL BOOKS THAT WE ISSUE OUT TO ALL THE FLIRTS, WHEN THEY'RE POWERED ON, WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF THEY TURNED ON THEIR MICROPHONE.
NOW FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ASK ME, MY MIND IS NOT CONNECTED TO INTERNET.
INTERNET, INTERNET IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
THERE IS NO ACCESS TO, UNLESS YOU HAVE A CONNECTION TO IT, BUT IT'S MAINLY FOR THE IT'S USED FOR OUR, EACH ONE OF OUR ELECTRONIC POLL BOOKS THAT WE USE FOR ELECTION CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH THOSE, MY FIVES THAT THEY'RE ASSIGNED TO ANY ONE AT EACH LOCATION FOR PUTTING IT OUT OF AN OFFICE.
AND WE'RE ABLE TO, THEY'RE ABLE TO IN REAL TIME UPDATES.
SO THE PROCESS, A VOTER, EVERYBODY HAS THE UPDATES OF WHAT WAS PROCESS.
SO IF YOU LOOK FOR JOE SCHMOE, JOE SCHMO IS OVER, DOWN IN HILTON HEAD AND HE'S ALREADY VOTED BY.
HE WON'T SHOW UP AS A BOARDER IN LIKE ANOTHER LOCATION, LIKE A BUFORD.
BUT WHEN THEY DO LOOK FOR MORE ORDERS AND SEARCH, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT SAYS ALREADY VOTED.
OKAY, BUT IT'S A GREAT PROCESS WE'VE BEEN USING.
YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE REAL TIME, BUT WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO SEE WHEN YOU'RE DOING, THEY TURN TO MY FIVE ON, BECAUSE THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU GOT TO TURN IT ON FIRST, FIRST IN THE INTERNAL, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO TAKE UP TO MAYBE 10, 15 MINUTES FOR ALL THE INFORMATION GOING THROUGH BECAUSE WE HAVE EARLY VOTING GOING ON.
AND SO A LOT OF THE VOTERS THAT DIDN'T GET UPDATED OR FINAL GET PUSHED THROUGH ON ELECTION MORNING.
SO WE'RE GONNA TO SEE ALL THOSE THINGS.
UM, SO WE MAKE SURE WE VERIFY ALL THAT INFORMATION IS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MORNING.
AND IF WE SEE IT IN A WAY I CAN TURN ON YOUR MIND BY CONTACTING OUR FULL FIELD TEAMS, NO CONTACT, UH, HEY DAVID, UM, DAVID HABITAT IS ONE OF THE ONE HE'LL GET DAVID OVER AT THE, UH, ART CENTER.
WE NOTICED THAT THE MICROPHONE IS NOT TURNED OFF.
DAVID WILL HEAD OVER THERE WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND HE'LL POWER IT OFF AND SHOW THEM OUT OF POWER AND ON, AND WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO, IF WE SEE IT'S ON AND GETTING DOWN INTO,
[06:00:01]
WE ALSO SEE IT AS A LOW BATTERY.SO IT DID NOT HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE A FLOOD DAY.
YOU ONLY GOT 40% OVER THERE AT CHARLESTON BROWN, ONE OF YOURS, THE ONE ABOUT 40%, IT'S NOT CHARGING.
SO WE'RE ABLE TO CALL OUR OTHER TECHNICIAN SHAKIRA'S SHE GOES OVER THERE, LOVES IT BACK IN.
WE CAN SEE THAT IN REAL TIME, JUST CHARGE.
DO WE HAVE A, CARRIER'S NOT, AS ON ELECTION NIGHT, HAVE CURIOUS, PICKING UP ELECTION.
THEY GO UP THERE AND PICK UP ALL THE SUPPLIES FROM BOTH OUR JEAN LONDON OFFICE.
AND OF COURSE OUR HILTON HEAD LIBRARY.
SO THEY'RE PICKING UP ALL THE SUPPLIES AND STUFF AND BRINGING IT BACK.
UM, AND WE HAVE OUR STAFF FROM, UM, AMBER, UM, AND MS. MICKEY.
AND OF COURSE WE HAVE LIKE ROSLYN AND, UM, I THINK MS.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE BLUE BALLOT BOXES THAT CAME BACK FROM THE EASIEST TO HUNDREDS.
SO THEY CHECKING ALL THAT STUFF IN TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ACCURACY THAT NOBODY'S LEAVING ANYTHING BEHIND.
AND IF THEY DO, WE SEND THEM BACK OUT TO THEIR HOME PLACE TO GO PICK UP WHATEVER IS CRUCIAL AND IMPORTANT TO PICK UP ON ELECTION NIGHT.
WE DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING BEHIND, EXCEPT THAT THAT IS CRUCIAL TO US.
SO THUMB DRIVES THE BLUE BOTTLE BOXES.
UM, THEY'RE PROVISIONALS CAUSE WE NEED THOSE.
AND THAT WAS THE THINGS THAT WE BRING BACK AND COST.
OF COURSE, OTHER SUPPLIES LET'S KEEP GOING.
ELECTION DAY BALANCE APPELLATION, UM, ON ELECTION DAY, UM, AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH DAY AT THE PRECINCT LEVEL, ELECTRONIC TABLETS BE USED 200 FOR USE VOLTS ARE STORED ON A SECURE THUMB DRIVE AND THEN PULL WORKERS, RECONCILED BALANCE CAST, AND THE RESULTS SAVES TO GET THEIR, UH, ZERO TAPES AND RESULTS SIX THEY PUT ON, ON THE DOOR AND PUT THEM INTO THEIR, UM, THEIR HEALTH THAT WE HAVE.
UM, AT LESSON CENTRAL, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE'RE PROCESSING MAIL BALANCE AT 9:00 AM OR AFTER 9:00 AM.
UH WE'RE UH, AFTER THE CALL FLOW WITH THIS, WE UPLOAD THE RESULTS ON THUMB DRIVES FROM THE PRE-SEASON WHEN WE GET BACK.
SO NORMALLY THE FIRST THING IS BUFORD.
BUFORD IS THE FIRST, UH, AREA.
AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS IS, IS YOU ASK THE TEAM.
I MEAN, I ASKED HIM, HE, UM, WILL ASK YOU BY MAIL AND EARLY VOTING BECAUSE EARLY VOTING ENDS ON SATURDAY IN THE GENERAL, THIS GENERAL ELECTION, THE LAST THING WOULD BE SATURDAY BEFORE THE ELECTION.
SO WE HAVE THE THUMB DRIVES ALREADY AHEAD OF TIME, BUT WE WON'T, WE WON'T TABLETS UNTIL AFTER 7:00 PM ON ELECTION.
SO THOSE GET RUN THROUGH FIRST OF COURSE, AND THEN WE'LL START GETTING DIFFERENT PEOPLE COMING IN BECAUSE THEY'RE MUCH CLOSER.
IT'S NOW THE BIGGEST GRIPE THAT WE HEAR FROM LEGISLATORS AND LOCAL LEGISLATORS AND EVERYBODY OUT THERE IS WHY IS IT DIFFERENT COUNTY, NOT RUNNING THEIR RESULTS MUCH AT A TIMELY MANNER? WELL, UNTIL THEY BRING THEIR BEHIND OVER HERE AND SEE WHAT WE DO WITH THEM, WE DO.
BUT I'M JUST GOING TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THE PROCESS OF, BECAUSE IT'S THE DISTANCE.
SO THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GOTTA WAIT FOR THE FUSSY ISLAND, WHICH IS BY BOLT.
UM, I WISH WE HAD A MIGRANT BICYCLE TO GET YOU OR EVEN A HELICOPTER.
YOU CAN GET THE AIR STATION, USE ONE OF THE F 30 FIVES TO DEAL WITH A HUBBARD LANDING AND GET THEIR PERMISSION.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE, UM, OUR BLUFFTON AND HILTON HEAD BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET ALL OF THEM DRIVE BACK AND CHECKED IN.
AND IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE THE DEPAUL CLERK ON SEAT PINES, YOU CAN KNOW HOW MUCH OF A DRIVE IT IS FROM SEAT PINES, FROM WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED AT ALL THE WAY TO BACK TO THE HILTON HEAD LIBRARY.
UM, EVEN IF IT'S EVENING TIME, I KNOW A LOT OF THINGS HEAL.
HE'LL KIND OF WIND DOWN A LITTLE BIT AFTER EIGHT OR 9:00 PM, BUT IT'S STILL A DISTANCE.
AND SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S BROUGHT BACK.
YOU GOT, UM, ALL THE LOCATIONS, ESPECIALLY, UM, IF, UH, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, IN BLUFFTON, IF YOU'RE ON MOSS CREEK MOSS CREASE, POLLING LOCATION IS WAY OUT THERE IN THE BACK.
AND I KNOW, CAUSE I GREW UP IN THE, ON SIMON AND WHAT I DID TO DELIVER THIS, I FELT LIKE I WAS NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE POOL AND LOCATION PORT ROYAL BEACH SHOPS, RAILROADS HERE WHILST WE DIDN'T USE ROLLS HILL, BUT I KNOW BELFAIR, WE DIDN'T USE IN BELTWAY.
YOU CAN'T GO TO THE MAIN GATE.
CAUSE THE TREES, YOU GOT TO GO, YOU'RE TAKING A 20 FOOT 26 FOOTER.
UM, WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE PICK UP THE SUPPLIES, BUT EVEN JUST DRIVING THERE, IT'S NOT AN EASY THING, BUT I MEAN, JUST EVEN LIKE, UM, UH, THE SEE INDIGO RUN IN THE VERMONT IS WAY IN THE BACK, UNLESS YOU GOT THAT ACCESS TO GET OUT TO THE BACK GATE OVER THERE AND THEN YOU GOT TO GO AROUND.
SO YEAH, PLANTATION HOUSE IS A CHALLENGE TOO.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE OVER BY THE, WE DIDN'T USE THE GOLF, UH, DOLPHIN HEAD, BUT WHEN WE USE DOLPHIN HEAD, IT'S ANOTHER FURTHER BACK THEN FROM THE PLANTATION HOUSE.
SO A LOT OF THREE PRECINCTS AND 3000 PEOPLE WAITING AND WAIT FOR ALL THEM TO VOTE AFTER SEVEN O'CLOCK.
[06:05:02]
YEAH, WE HAVE A NEAR FULL BACK.BUT ANYWAY, YEAH, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT LARGE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A GROUP HOME LOCATIONS PRECINCTS TOGETHER AND PUT LOCATION, IT'S LIKE SOME SAVINGS.
FOR EXAMPLE, SUN CITY WAS, I MEAN, IT WAS SLAM PACKED ALL DAY, BUT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE JUST COMING OUT AND GOLF CARTS AND YOU KNOW, BUT THEY'RE DEDICATED VOTERS.
I MEAN, I'M NOT ALL HARPING ON AND ON THE VOTERS THAT THEY WANT TO VOTE AND THEY'RE GOING TO STAND IN LINE.
BUT YOU KNOW, THOSE THINGS ARE VERY CRITICAL WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO BRING BACK THINGS ON ELECTION NIGHT, WE'VE GOT TO, IT'S NOT ABOUT TRYING TO RUSH TO GET RESULTS, RIGHT? SO THIS, THE STRESS THING IS ALSO AS FOR ME, MYSELF AND FROM MY, MY, MY TEAM ALSO IS THAT IT'S ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND INTEGRITY AND ACCURACY BECAUSE I CAN RUN RESULTS THROUGH, INTO OUR SYSTEM AND UPLOAD THEM INTO WHAT WE CALL THE ELECTION NIGHT REPORTING SYSTEM THAT WE USE BY THE STATE WHEN IT'S A COUNTYWIDE STATEWIDE ELECTION.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS IF YOU JUST UPLOAD RESULTS AND NOT CHECK YOUR TAPES AND NOT CHECK EVERYTHING IN DETAIL, THAT'S MATCHING UP.
SO WHEN I'M LOOKING AT ARIZONA STATE, I'M MAKING SURE THAT EVERY LINE, EVERY CONTEST, EVERY CANDIDATE GOT THE RIGHT, BOTH OF YOU WAS SUPPOSED TO GET.
CAUSE IF CANDIDATE A, IN THIS CONTEST GOT 2,239 AND THE OTHER ONE GOT 1500, BUT THEN YOU LOOK AT THE POOL LOCATION AND IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT MANY VOTERS.
AND THAT'S A, THAT'S AN ERROR.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT ANY MAKING SURE THAT ALL THEIR VOTES ARE COUNTED CORRECTLY, MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S REPORTED CORRECTLY.
AND I'M MAKING SURE THAT THE NUMBERS ARE MATCHING UP BECAUSE WE GOT, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE EARLY VOTING NUMBERS TOO.
SO THOSE NUMBERS I'M ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE TOTAL IS GOING TO BE.
WHAT YOU GOT COMBINED ALL FOR EARLY VOTING CENTERS TOGETHER AS ONE WHOLE COLLECTIVE GROUP.
AND BECAUSE WHAT WE DO IN OUR NEW ELECTIONS NOW, THERE ARE ALSO COUNTED AS PRECINCT PRECINCT, A NUMBER OF VOTES ALSO FOR ABSENTEE.
SO, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE VOTING EARLY, BUT THAT VOTER IS ASSIGNED TO A PRECINCT.
SO IF THEY'RE OVER AT, YOU KNOW, HILTON HAD ONE, EIGHT HILTON, ONE EIGHT GETS AN ASS TIVO, RIGHT? SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN THE REPORTS ON ELECTION NIGHT.
SO I KNOW OUR LEGISLATORS AND EVERYBODY WANTS RESULTS FAST, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT, WE'RE NOT BURGER KING.
WE'RE NOT, CHICK-FIL-A, WE'RE NOT WALMART OR AMAZON OR PRIME.
AND I'M MORE ABOUT NOT TRYING TO MAKE SURE NOTHING GOES AWRY AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY INTEGRITY IS INVOLVED WITH OTHERS.
HOPE SELECTION, UM, CONDUCTING POST-ELECTION AUDITS.
UH, THIS IS REQUIRED BY THE STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
SO, UM, WE'LL ADD A PORTION OF YOU.
THEY HAVE PROVISIONAL FALLACY ABOUT THOSE TOTAL SELECTION NIGHT RESULTS, OFFICIAL RESULTS WERE RECORDED.
UNFORTUNATELY RUN ALL OF OUR INFORMATION INTO ELECTION WEAR AND UPLOADED FOR ELECTION NIGHT REPORTING ON POST ELECTION.
UH, THE STAINLESS COMMISSION WILL CHOOSE TWO FREE SEATS FOR EACH COUNTY TO RECOUNT TO, TO TWO.
OR WAS THAT ONE OR TWO? THREE OF THEM? YEAH, WE GOT THREE.
WE ACTUALLY GOT THREE IN THIS LAST ELECTIONS, THREE PRECINCTS.
SO IT'S NOT AD, REMEMBER THAT THESE PRECINCTS ARE GROUPED TOGETHER IN A POLLING LOCATION.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, AT WALTER HAS FOUR PRECINCTS, BUT THEY ONLY NEED, LIKE, LET'S SAY LOVE TO BEAT.
IT'S ONE OF THE PRECINCTS, BUT YOU GOT LIKE FOUR
WELL, WE GOT ALL ABOUT THE CARDS ALTOGETHER, SO THEY GOT SEPARATE TO GET DONATED BLOOD AND TO BE PRECINCTS, BUT THEN YOU, AFTER YOU SEPARATE THE BLOOD TO BE BALLOT CARDS, THAT'S IN THAT BLUE BALLOT BOX, YOU ALSO HAVE TO SEPARATE THEM FOR THE CONTEST THAT YOU WANT.
SO IF THEY ONLY WANT TO SAY COUNTY COUNCIL, THE COUNTY COUNCIL DISTRICT, WELL, YOU KNOW THAT SOME STACKS, BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE VOTED THAT DIDN'T VOTE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE KIND OF COUNCIL TO VOTE FOR IT.
IT JUST HAD, YOU KNOW, JUST EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO THOSE ARE THOSE THINGS TO TAKE CDS.
AND THAT'S, THIS IS THE, AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE CERTIFIED ON THURSDAY.
SO THIS WAS ON WEDNESDAY, WEDNESDAY MORNING, THEY WERE PULLING THEM ALL UP AND GET THE RATE AND THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH HOW TO STAFF.
IT GOES THROUGH AND IT'S NOT ELECTRONIC IT'S THROUGH HAND COUNTS ONE BY ONE.
AND THEN YOU HAVE, WE HAVE A PRECINCT SHEET THAT WE GIVE THEM WITH THE CONTEST AND HOW MUCH THEY SHOULD BE GETTING.
SO IF IT'S 399 BATTLE CARDS AS A, AS A CAT, THAT WAS, THAT WERE CAST, THEY SHOULD HAVE THE 99 OUT OF THE CARDS IN THAT STACK WITH THAT CONTEST AND WHERE THE BOLTS WERE FOR THAT CAMP AND THOSE CANDIDATES AND THE TABLET.
AND THAT WAS WHERE THREE DIFFERENT PRECINCTS.
AND THEY'D HAVE AN AUDIT WORKSHEET ONCE COMPLETED WHERE SHE SUBMITTED
[06:10:01]
STIMULATION PERMISSION THAT SAME DAY, ESPECIALLY YOU GOT TO HAVE AN AUDIT DONE BEFORE YOU TAP YOUR CANVAS HERE, CERTIFIED RESULTS.CERTIFICATION DAY, UM, ON CERTIFICATION DATE, YOU'RE RUNNING ELECTION NIGHT ON OFFICIAL.
UM, I'M RUNNING AN ELECTION NIGHT ON OFFICIAL SUMMARY REPORT RESULTS REPORT THAT I PRINT OFF FOR EACH ONE YOU HAVE FOR MS. MARINE COURSE WOMAN, YOU'LL GET THE UNOFFICIAL ONES ON ELECTION NIGHT BECAUSE YOU NEED THAT COPY.
BECAUSE ONCE WE, UH, THE NEXT STEP IS GOING TO, UH, YOU'LL HAVE THE CAMPUS HEARING THEN OF COURSE, SHE GOES THROUGH YOUR, UH, REBALANCE.
IF YOU HAVE PROVISIONALS, YOU GO THROUGH THE PROVISIONALS AND FAIL SAFE PROVISIONALS.
ONCE THE ONES THAT'S COUNTING, THEY GET BROUGHT BACK TO MY AREA AND WE HAVE A STAFF WE GO THROUGH AND WE'LL OPEN UP EACH ONE.
IF WE HAVE SALESY PROVISIONAL, AND WE DON'T, WE JUST HAVE A VISION TO DO THAT.
WE RAN THROUGH ELECTION, WELL, HAS TO BE DEALT WITH.
AND SO, YEAH, WHICH IS NONE IMPORTANT THING AND HAVE HAD ENOUGH WORK.
THE WAREHOUSE SITE THAT HAS RIGHT THERE IN OUR RAS BEFORE THAT SOMEWHERE.
UH, ONCE WE GET THE AMOUNT OF SEPARATED DATA SUBS OFF, WE RUN THAT.
IF THERE'S, LIKE I SAID, IF THIS FAIL SAFE PROVISION WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PRECINCT.
SO YOU HAVE SALES-EY PROVISIONAL, WHICH HAS HIS OWN DESIGNATED DSU AND THE SCANNER PROVISIONAL HAS ITS OWN SCANNER.
THE ISSUE MIGHT BE IF YOU HAVE TWO SEPARATE SCANNERS, BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTION OF A CONTEST.
SO YOU RUN UP THE ROAD AND THEY WANT TO FORCE WALMART REPORT PRINTED RESULTS SAVED FOR VERIFYING, TEACH, SIGN THEM, AND THEN I'M TAKING THE THUMB DRIVES OVER IT.
SO I'VE ACTUALLY WERE RUNNING THOSE THROUGH UPLOADING THOSE RESULTS.
THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE YOUR ELECTION.
SO I'LL PRINT OFF ANOTHER UNOFFICIAL REPORT, WHICH WILL HAVE THE NEW UPDATED NUMBERS, WHATEVER CONTEXT WAS EFFECT.
SO YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT THE TOTAL OF NOR BOUTS CAST IS GOING TO INCREASE.
SO THERE WAS 10 BALLOTS THAT WERE BRED THROUGH.
YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR, WHO WAS YOUR BATTLE CAST NUMBER SHOULD GO UP BY 10.
AND OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IN THE CONTEST, THOSE VOLTS WEIGHTS.
AND ONCE YOU GUYS GO THROUGH A LAB, YOU CERTIFIED RESULTS.
I'LL HAVE YOUR OFFICIAL TITLE CHANGE.
THERE'S NO OFFICIAL FOR A NEW REPORT AND UPLOAD IT TO ELECTION NIGHT REPORTING TO CLOSE OUT THE ELECTION COURSE.
CRYSTAL HAD HER REPORTS FOR THAT.
SHE'S GOING TO GET IT OUT TO THE MEDIA, EVERYBODY THAT ALL.
AND, UM, FROM THERE IT'S, THE ELECTION IS FINE.
UM, SO THERE'S SOME THINGS I INCLUDE IN HERE, BUT OF COURSE VOTE.
WE'RE DOING A MEETING WITH MY GUYS AND SIT DOWN AND HAVE A HOTWASH.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THINGS WENT WRONG, WHAT THINGS WE COULD IMPROVE ON THIS LAST ELECTION.
YOU HAD A LOT, I'M STILL WRITING UP A REPORT BECAUSE DETAIL, BUT IT'S A LOT TO IT.
BUT, BUT EVERY LESSON WE'VE WORKED HAS NEVER BEEN SINCE 2019.
CAUSE WE STARTED HAVING STARTED TO DO THE LESSON EQUIPMENT, EVERY ELECTION GATHERING HERE, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW IMPLEMENTED BY THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION FOR US TO DO.
AND IT'S ALWAYS USUALLY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE THAT YOU DON'T NEED IT TO HAPPEN.
LIKE I SAID, THE 2020 ELECTION ALMOST TOOK ME OUT.
AND I NEVER, WHEN I FIRST CAME IN 2006, WHEN ERIC WAS THERE AND EVERY WEEK IT'S THE MIDDLE OF A GENERAL STANDARD ELECTION, LIKE A GOVERNMENT RACE OUT THE LINE I WAS TRYING, BUT AT 2020, I MEAN, IT WAS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE TWO WEEKS THEY THROW IN, I SAW THESE, THE BIG BOX COMING IN.
DID YOU KNOW, WE KNEW THAT WE HAD AN ELECTRONIC POLL WHERE WE GOT 10 OF 10 DEVILS AT THE TIME.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU DESTRUCT IS BACKED UP.
AND HE JUST KEPT COMING OUT IN THE TRUCK.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THIS WAS.
I KEPT SEEING THESE BLUE CONTAINERS AND I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? AND IT WAS ALL THE EQUIPMENT.
AND I THINK A CRITICAL IS CRITICAL.
IT WAS MICHAEL MICHAEL HAD RULED BY THE BALDHEADED.
SO WE WERE JUST OVERWHELMED WITH SO MUCH STUFF.
AND THEN WE HAD A WEEK TO LEARN AND I COULD NOT READ WINDOW, CHRIS, ALL OF US IN THIS VIRTUAL TRAINING TRYING TO LEARN FROM HOW DID YOU FIND THIS STUFF, HOW TO USE ALL THIS INFORMATION.
AND IT WAS JUST LIKE, YOU'RE CRAMMING, YOU'RE CRAMMING ALMOST A YEAR OF TRAINING INTO ONE WEEK IN THE MIDST OF COVID.
THEN YOU HAVE TO SHORTEN THAT NUMBERS DOWN TO EQUIPMENT BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE, YOU COULDN'T, I COULDN'T USE AS MUCH EQUIPMENT AS A WARRANTY.
IF YOU HAD, YOU HAD SOCIAL DISTANCING.
THAT'S ANOTHER CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE NOW, EVEN BECAUSE
[06:15:01]
IT'S MORE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PRIVACY AND SECURITY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE, WHEN THEY COME TO THE POLLING PLACE TO VOTE, THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO VOTE THE WAY YOU LOOK IT OVER.AND NOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE HUSBAND AND WIFE, THEY COME IN THERE AS A TEAM.
THEY COME IN THERE AND HE WAS LIKE, I VOTED FOR TRUMP.
AND WHAT DID YOU VOTE FOR? BUT OTHER THAN THAT, BUT ALL THAT SECURITY, THE OTHER PART SECURITY IS THAT WHAT THE ELECTION EQUIPMENT THAT WE DO, EVERYTHING IS IS, IS SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT.
AND IT'S NOT JUST SECURITY WITH THE ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT.
IT'S ALSO SECURITY WITH LIVES BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER THING.
AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR COWORKERS, THEY KNOW THEY'RE GETTING IN THERE AT FIVE 30 IN THE MORNING AND GO TO FOREIGN FOUR PLACES DARK OUT THERE, MAKE SURE THEY'RE OKAY, MAKE SURE THEIR WELLBEING.
WE'RE WAITING, MAKING SURE PEOPLE ARE NOT COMING IN THERE.
AND NOBODY WANTS TO DO SOME CRAZY STUFF.
WE BACK TESTED THIS LAST ELECTION WITH A LOT OF THINGS THAT WENT ON, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, I'M PROUD OF ALL MY COWORKERS, THE PRODUCT, ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS AND EVERYBODY OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE.
AND WE'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS MAN.
UM, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THAT'S FINE.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS WHEN THE COUNTY WAS HERE, THIS SHOWS THE CYCLING JOB THAT YOU ALL ARE DOING THIS.
THEY SHOULD HAVE
AND SOME, PERHAPS THIS IS RECORDED ALSO WHEN SOMEBODY PASSES SEE, AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, COUNTY ATTORNEY CAME IN AND WHEN WE HAD OUR RETALIATION OR HE WAS WATCHING ALL OF THAT WHOLE PROCESS, A LOT OF EVEN WITNESSES, THEY CAME IN ON THE CANVAS, THEY SEEN THE PROCESS AND THEY GET, THEY HAVE A MORE MUTUAL RESPECT FOR WHAT WE DO BECAUSE IT'S NOT EASY.
LIKE I SAID, I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT, THAT THAT'S THINKING OF SICKNESS.
NO, YOU DIDN'T GET IT EVEN IF YOU DID.
UM, THANKS THAT WE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT ELECTION.
WE KNOW BECAUSE WE'VE WORKED IN THAT ELECTION IS MORE THAN PEOPLE THINK.
AND ONE OF THE, THIS PROCESS WAS DESIGNED SO THAT THE WHOLE STORY COULD BE TOLD AND BELIEVE ME, WE ONLY TOLD HIM ON THE PHONE, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT MORE THAT WE'VE BEEN KNOCKED OUT.
AND SO, UM, I THINK CHRIS SAID IT WELL, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER 364 DAYS? YEAH, WE CAN'T WORK.
WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE NEXT ELECTION.
WE HAVE 11 STAFF MEMBERS IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT THERE'S SOMETHING TO DO.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, VERNON WORKS MIRACLES WITH THE SPACE THAT HE DOES HAVE AND WITH THE THINGS THAT HE DOES BEFORE AND AFTER I FEEL SORRY FOR HIM, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO GO HOME TO YOUR WIFE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK SOMETIMES.
UM, THOSE 30 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION AS NONSTOP.
AND IT'S NOT JUST FOR PROGRAM STAFF MEMBERS, UM, HAULING THINGS BACK AND FORTH FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE OTHER IS NORMALLY THAT LEADS TO PEOPLE FOR SECURITY PURPOSES.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT'S GOING ON.
SO FAST PROCESSING APPLICATION FOR ABSENTEE VOTERS ON WALL WITH PROCESSING APPS.
SO TO VOTERS, THAT'S COMING IN FOR EARLY VOTING.
UM, IT'S JUST A WHOLE LOT MORE AND YOU STILL GOTTA PAY THE BILLS.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE, UH, VENDORS THAT WE DO WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS AND BILLS THAT NEEDS TO BE PAID.
UM, PULL MANAGERS HAVE WHAT WE CALL SUPPLY BOX.
THOSE THINGS ARE REPLENISHED AFTER EVERY ELECTION WITH NEW FORMS, NEW PAPERWORK.
AND NOW THERE IS SOME DIRECTIVE FROM THE STATE OF THINGS THAT POLL WORKERS NEED TO KNOW.
THERE'S A LOT OF COORDINATION GOING ON TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT ELECTIONS HAVE RAN IN OUR COUNTY.
AND I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN RUN ELECTIONS IN THE COUNTY WITH TWO STAFF MEMBERS.
[06:20:01]
OUR CHAIRMAN WAS WITH US.MOST OF THE ELECTION NIGHT, THESE LAST IN THE PRIMARY, WE DIDN'T GO HOME.
SO, BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THAT UNUSUAL.
WE JUST DIDN'T GO HOME AT SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, WE MET 11 O'CLOCK IN THE LAST TIME, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN NIGHTS.
THEN WE REBEL ALL NIGHT AND THE AVERAGE PERSON OUT THERE, THE AVERAGE CITIZEN, AVERAGE VOTER, OTHER COUNTY DEPARTMENTS, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE ARE DOING.
BUT I THINK, I THINK, WELL, OUR ATTEMPT HERE TODAY WAS TO EDUCATE NOT JUST THE PUBLIC THAT'S OUT THERE SO THAT YOU WROTE OUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WHY CAN'T YOU ELECTION RESULTS? WHY CAN'T YOU GET THE COLLECTION RESULTS? IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
WE WANT RESULTS, BUT WE WANT GOOD RESULTS.
YOU KNOW? SO WHERE OTHER FOLKS ARE REPORTING FROM MAY NOT BE LIKE OUR COUNTY.
WE HAVE TO CONSIDER ON GEOGRAPHICAL AREA WHERE IT TAKES ONE HOUR OR FROM MAYBE THE TIP OF HILTON PIT TO THE VIEW FOR AN OFFICE AND FLIP ON AND ON.
SO NOW THAT IT'S NOT THAT CLOSE TO US AS WELL, AND YOU GOT SHELDON AND BIGGEST THING, I MEAN, FROM EVERY ASPECT OF THE COUNTY, AND IF I SEE YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER AUDIO GRAPHICAL LOCATION AND PROCESS, THAT GOES INTO PLACE TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE ELECTION RESULTS.
AND TRUST ME, WE CAN BE AS TIMELY AS WE CAN IS WHAT WE DEFINED TO DO.
WE KNOW THAT IT'S SUPPORTIVE FOR THE CANDIDATES TO BUILD WHO WON THE ELECTION.
AND A LOT OF TIMES I CAN TELL YOU, STAFF DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
SO WHEN YOU CALL IN AND SAY, WHO'S WINNING, WE ARE NOT FOCUSED ON, WHO'S LEAVING ME TO FOCUS ON THE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT'S GOING ON IS, UM, DONE IN A WAY THAT WE CAN ASSURE WHATEVER IS SHOWING UP OUT.
THERE IS THE CORRECT INFORMATION.
SO AGAIN, AS, AS A TEAM, WE'D BE TO UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE STORY SO THAT WE CAN PROMOTE AND SUPPORT WHAT WE ARE DOING.
LIKE I SAID, WHAT WE ARE DOING AS A BOARD, I KNOW THAT WE ARE RUNNING LATE AND WE GOT TO DO AN ELECTION HOP OFF SO WE CAN TAKE FIVE MINUTES BREAK AND DO THAT.
[06:30:44]
OKAY.[06:30:46]
READY? ALL RIGHT.WE ARE GOING TO RECONVENE FOR THE LAST SEGMENT AND GUESS WHAT THAT'S YOU, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW HE GOT SO CLOSE TO OKAY.
SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE ELECTION WATCH IS NOT GOING TO BE A GRIPING SESSION OR COMPLAINT QUESTION.
WE HAVE JUST ONE HALF CONSTRUCT CONCERNS OF WHAT YOU, AS A BOARD MEMBER, MAYBE EVEN STAFF WHAT'S TO INSERT WHATEVER THEY FEEL, WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE ELECTIONS THAT ARE IN BUFORD COUNTY, UH, AND NOT JUST BASED ON THE LAST ELECTION, BUT ON WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR.
UM, IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THINGS THAT YOU'VE MADE THAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE UPON ANY PROCESS OR ANY PROCEDURE THAT WE MAY CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T GAIN, WE ARE SOMETIMES TOO CLOSE TO THE MIRROR TO SEE WHAT WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON.
SO, UM, YOU GUYS LOOK AT WHAT WE DO FROM A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT.
SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK MAY WORK, WE DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL, BUT IF YOU THINK IT MAY WORK OR SUGGESTED THAT YOU THINK WE MIGHT BE TOO, UM, I, I SAW THUMBS UP THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE BACK, UM, IN PERSON TRAINING.
AND I REMEMBER AFTER RIGHT AFTER THE LAST ELECTION AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE LEARNED WAS HAPPENING AT THE PRECINCT, THE FIRST THING I SAID TO THE GYM PERSON TO THE CHAIRMAN WAS, UM, WE GOTTA GO BACK IN PERSON.
WE GOT, WE GOTTA GO BACK IN PERSON.
WE NEED THAT CONTACT, THAT PERSONAL CONTACT WITH OUR PULL MANAGER, AGAIN, A FULL MANAGERS, AGAIN, THE VIRTUAL WORKED WHEN IT WAS REQUIRED AND NECESSARY, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE NO COVID, UM, RESTRICTIONS OR VERY LITTLE WHERE WE CAN'T COME BACK.
SO PEOPLE CAN SEE US AND TALK TO US AND COMMUNICATE WITH US.
AND WE WILL HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF WHERE BILL A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING IS IF WE CAN SEE THEM IN PERSON, THERE'LL BE LESS BEST DISTRACTIONS.
SO, UM, WE KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL, UM, PLANNING ON DOING IN, UH, FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, BUT THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN TO YOU ALL SO THAT, UM, YOU CAN EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS AND YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT WE NEED TO DO, OR WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN, UH, TOTAL OVERALL PROCESS.
AND, UH, SO THIS WHO'S GOT THE MIC, SO WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST? YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN NOTES.
WELL, UM, I'M HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DID SEND A LITTLE MESSAGE OUT TO JANE ABOUT, UM, IN PERSON AND HANDS ON TRAINING, UH, FOR POLL WORKERS IN OUR FORKS, BECAUSE I THINK, AND I FEEL LIKE IF THEY HAVE THERE, THERE'LL BE WE'LL FOCUS.
I KNOW SOMETIMES WHEN I'M ON SOON, I'LL WALK AWAY OR I'M DOING SOMETHING ELSE, EVEN THOUGH YOU COULDN'T SEE ME, HOW WOULD YOU FOCUS AT ALL? SO I MAY NOT GETTING AS MUCH, UM, YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY DO A GOOD JOB WITH OUR COWORKERS AND OUR CLERKS.
UM, THE OTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST A HANDS-ON PERSON.
I FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE SPORT NUMBERS.
UM, THEY HAVE, UM, LIKE YOU SAY, THIS PRESENTS
[06:35:01]
IN THE AREA CHECK AND SEE WHAT COMES TO LEADING PAYSLIP AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF EARLY BEFORE THE END OF THE EVENING, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEMS, WHEN YOU'RE WAITING THE LAST MINUTE PAPERWORK SIGNING OF THE PAYROLL, THEY CAN GET THAT VERY EARLY.BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTED THAT DAY, THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET THAT DONE AND THEN KEEP THE WORK AREA NICE AND ORGANIZED.
SO THAT WAY YOU CAN GO THERE AND PUT YOUR HAND OR WHATEVER, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE WORKING OUT OF THE BOX.
IF YOU WANT TO WORK ON YOUR RED BAG OR WHAT HAVE YOU, THEN YOU PICK UP THE WRONG FORMS, A HAND TO THAT FOLDER.
AND NOW YOU'VE GOT TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.
SO I SAW THAT HAPPENING, BUT I WAS VISITING PRESET.
SO AGAIN, I DID NOT, BUT THEN I WENT BACK OVER AND EXPLAINED TO THE FULL DAY, THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR WORK TABLES SET UP.
AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE IT, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT BACK TO THIS TABLE THAT YOU NEED TO GET TO THE BORDER OUT, COMING TO THE CANVAS AND HAVE ALL THAT STUFF THERE.
SO THAT IT'S ANOTHER SMOOTH TRANSACTION THAT WILL HELP THEM TO ALSO BE ABLE TO GET ALL OF THEIR EQUIPMENT AND EVERYTHING BACK AND GET IT CHECKED IN, IN A TIMELY MANNER.
AND AT LEAST THIS SHOULD BE TWO PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER BE THERE BY HERSELF, BRINGING BACK WHAT NEEDS TO COME BACK AT ALL, BECAUSE SOMEONE SHOULD BE CHECKING IT OFF THAT THEN YOU KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN? THAT'S THE TECHNIQUE THAT I USE.
AND I'LL TELL THEM, I SAY TO MYSELF, I AGREE WITH YOU ON ALL YOUR POINTS.
THE THING ABOUT THE PAPERWORK PEOPLE WAITED UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY THAT BE HAPPENING, THAT SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE OPENING.
IT SHOULD BE BEFORE, BEFORE WE OPENED, WE DO THE CANVAS.
WE DON'T DO THE HEARING AT THE END.
WE DID BEFORE OUR WORK BEGINS.
LIKE ALMOST WHEN I WAS AT WORK, I W I PULLED THAT OUT AND WE DID IT PRIOR TO SETTING UP BECAUSE NOW WE'RE DEALING WITH ELECTION EQUIPMENT.
SO WE DID IT BEFORE EVEN SETTING UP WHEN I WAS WITH CLARK.
UM, BUT THAT, THAT WAS MY THOUGHT ON THAT.
AND THEN, UM, I WILL SAY THIS, WE HAD A MUCH FEWER PROBLEMS WITH BEING LEFT BEHIND THIS TIME BECAUSE OF THE CLOSE WE'RE CALLING IT.
SO WHEN ALWAYS PRESS IS CALLING BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR CRAZY COLLEGE, BEFORE YOU LEAVE, YOU'RE PRODUCING EXACT THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT STORIES ON GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE ISLAND OR WHATEVER.
AND I WAS TALKING TO THIS OR WAS WORRIED ABOUT THIS, ACTUALLY, DURING THE RUNOFF, HE WAS LIKE, HOW CAN WE ENSURE THAT THIS IS ZACK IN A TIMELY MANNER? AND I SAID, TELL ALL OF YOUR TOURISTS.
ALL OF MY CLIENTS ARE TOLD THREE TIMES THAT DAY ON.
I TELL THEM SOME MORNING, I SEND A REMINDER TEXT MESSAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
AND THEN THAT WAS ONE AROUND AT NIGHT.
AND THIS LAB, THIS RUNOFF, I WOULD, I'M IN THE THUMB AND ONLY TWO FREE SNEAKS OUT TO LOCATIONS OF ALL OF THEM ZZ OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT, YOU KNOW? SO IF WE CAN GET THEM TO REMEMBER TO CALL IT, AND IF SOME OF THEM ARE A LITTLE, THEY DON'T LIKE CALLING IT.
ISN'T WHAT I'M GOING TO LISTEN.
I'M LIKE, YOU GOT BLEW OUT IN THERE, LIKE, IS YOU HAVE THE MODIFY.
SO AS WE, AS MISSIONERS CAN REMIND OUR CALLERS TO CALL THE LEGAL PRECINCT.
NOW WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING BACK, BECAUSE THEN YOU GO BACK AND BE FORGOT SOMETHING, YOU KNOW? SO AS CONDITIONERS, THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO TO HELP ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT.
WELL, I APPRECIATE THE VIDEO AND BE ABLE TO ADD VIDEO SENT TO THOSE INDIVIDUAL MANAGERS THAT COULD NOT ATTEND THE SESSION.
I THINK THAT, UM, THE OTHER THING IS MY CONCERN THAT THE COUNTY
[06:40:02]
LOCATIONS, LAURA, LAURA, I MEAN SLUGBETWEEN THE PRIMARY AND, UM, THE RUN OFF, IT WAS STILL NOT FIT, I GUESS, TO THE TIME OF THE SOCIAL PILLAR, BUT HOW CAN THE COUNTY ENSURE THAT THE PATIENTS THAT ARE ALL ACTUALLY UP TO CLOCK, YOU HAVE THIS, OKAY.
I KNOW, UM, THAT SOMEBODY REPORT THAT TO THE COUNTY AND DON'T REPORT IT TO ME BECAUSE SOMEBODY CALLED ME AND I THOUGHT NOBODY REPORTED ANYTHING TO ME.
SO WHEN YOU, UH, WHOEVER, WHEN YOU SEE ISSUES GOING ON WITH ANY FACILITIES, NOT JUST COUNTY FACILITY, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON, IT REALLY NEEDS TO COME TO ME AND, OR, UM, YOU KNOW, WINDOW.
SO WE CAN FOLLOW HER UP BECAUSE WHEN THE MAINTENANCE CREWS CALL US ABOUT SWITCHING WALL, AND I GO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, GLORIA POTS.
I'M NOT A CALL ABOUT GLORIA POS, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.
HIS WIFE ASKED THEM TO GO OUT THERE AND CHECK THE SWITCHES JUST IN CASE, BUT I COULDN'T DIRECT THEM TO THEM SPECIFICS, WHICH WE HAVE TOLD SOMEBODY, I TOLD THEM, I SAID, WHATEVER YOU FIND, JUST LET US KNOW.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS THAT SCOTT, THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT.
SO THIS TIME, BECAUSE THE TURNOFF WAS SO SMALL, THEY WERE FINE.
WHO'S THE OTHER END OF THE BUILDING.
BUT THE MAIN PART OF THEY NORMALLY THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY, UM, IN, IN THAT PART BEFORE, OKAY.
WHAT WE MADE NEED TO DO IN THOSE SITUATIONS.
I NOTE THAT AS AN INCIDENT REPORT FORMS AND, UM, AND SOME OF YOUR BASKETS, SO MANY BOXES, BUT I THINK IT'S MORE IN THIS FACILITY.
MAYBE WE NEED TO GIVE YOU GUYS SOME KIND OF, UM, INCIDENT OR FACILITY REPORT FORM, BUT YOU CAN DO A WRITTEN REPORT SO WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING CONCRETE.
AND I KNOW IN THE PAST, YOU ALL HAVE CALLED AND SAY SUCH AND SUCH AS THE CASE.
AND AS SOON AS WE KNOW, AMOUNT OF PEOPLE, TRY TO GET IT ADDRESSED BEFORE THE ELECTION.
BECAUSE, UM, I THINK VERNON, WHETHER WE ALL TALKED ABOUT SECURITY AND PHYSICAL SECURITY, WHICH IS COMPETENCE BUILDING AND MAKING SURE THAT THE BUILDING IS ADA COMPLIANT, BUT AT LEAST MAKE, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, UM, YOU KNOW, COMPLIANT FOR USAGE.
IF YOU HAVE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS THAT HAVE SOME KIND OF ISSUE, WE DON'T WANT OUR VOTING MACHINE INTO THAT, OR ANY POOL MANAGER TRYING TO, UM, GET ELECTRICITY, UM, IN A FAULTY, FROM A FAULTY.
UM, SO WE DEFINITELY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, IN REFERENCE TO INDIVIDUALS REQUEST FOR HELP, WE'LL BE PLAYING THAT TO PUBLIC
THE POLL MANAGERS TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE THEM, BUT THEN IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN WHAT THEY THOUGHT
UM, WHEN WE ARE VOTING FOR MAYBE WE HAVE VOTING, BUT THERE IS A PHOTO WHO NEEDS ASSISTANCE.
THEY MUST ASK FOR, OKAY, IF THEY BRING A FAMILY MEMBER, THEY CAN SAY TO THE FULL WATCH, I MEAN THE POOR MANAGER OR THE COURT, WHOMEVER IS PROCESSING THAT PHOTO.
IT TAKES THEM TO THAT BOAT ISSUE.
IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE, THEY NEED TO ASPHALT.
AND THEY HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER PRESENT THAT FAMILY MEMBER CAN'T ASSIST THEM.
AND ANOTHER PERSON IN THE PRECINCT, THE MORE MANAGER NEED TO OBSERVE THAT PROCESS.
IF THE VOTER DECIDED THEY DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY WITH THEM, THEY NEED HELP, OR THEY NEED ASSISTANCE TO QUOTE MANAGERS NEED TO PROVIDE A SYSTEM.
ONE WILL BE, UH, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING THAT SUPPORT, WHATEVER IT IS, MAYBE READING THE BALANCE FOR THEM OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T VOTE FOR THAT OTHER PERSON OR THE POOR MANAGER WILL BE OBSERVING THE PROCESS JUST TO MAKE SURE AND ENSURE THAT WHOEVER IS ASSISTING THAT FOLDER IS FOLLOWING THE PROPER PROCEDURE IS THE WITNESS AFTER WITNESS.
[06:45:01]
THAT THERE WILL BE ANYTHING SAID THAT YOU WERE IN THE BOAT VOTING FOR ANOTHER ROAD.SO TWO PEOPLE NEED TO BE COMPILED IN THE ASSISTANCE PROCESS.
IT MUST, UM, THE PULL OR THE VOTE.
NOW YOU CAN'T TELL THEM AS A PART OF YOUR EXPLANATION WHEN YOU WERE TAKING THEM TO THE BALLOT BOX, YOU CAN'T TELL THEM THAT ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED.
IF YOU SEE A POLL WORK, A VOTER OVER AT VOTING MACHINE A LITTLE BIT TOMORROW, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF FIGURED THEY MAY BE STRUGGLING WITH SOMETHING.
YOU CAN WALK BY THAT VOTER AND TELL THEM ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE.
IF NEEDED, YOU CAN GO OVER THERE AND SAY, DO YOU NEED HELP? SO YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE WORDING BY POLL MANAGERS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT AS WELL.
WE CAN'T INJECT OURSELVES INTO THE PROCESS, BUT WE ARE THERE TO ASSESS IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE.
BUT THAT IS KIND OF LIMITED THE LECTURE OR THE RUN OVER.
WE HAD HEARD A FEW QUIRKS AND ADD ONE FOR GOING TO A PLACE.
UM, WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH THIRD PROTECTOR BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO RED BOXES, WEREN'T THERE AT SOME SURGE PROTECTOR.
WHAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
UM, ALSO IN THESE NURSING HOME, I'VE TAKEN IN THE FORM FOR THEM TO CHANGE THAT LOCATION AND GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THE NURSING HOME RETIREMENT HOME TO GIVE TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET MOVED IN THERE.
BUT SOMEHOW THAT'S NOT AS EFFICIENT AS I'D LIKE IT TO BE.
BUT WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT GOING BY AND TAKING PICTURES AND GETTING THEM A VOTER REGISTRATION PART OF THE PICTURE.
BUT SOME OF THEM DON'T HAVE ANY ONE.
SO THEY, WELL, MOST OF THEM HAVE A LICENSE, BUT SOME OF THEM DON'T.
AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER PART OF THE PROBLEM, BUT I TELL YOU, I HATE IT WHEN SOMEBODY COMES IN THERE THAT FARM CRIPPLE BOAT, AND YOU SAY THEY GOT MOVED IN HERE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, TOLD ME, THEY SAID,
I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY WAY TO GET THE OTHER THREE PRECINCTS.
SO IF THAT'S THEIR FAULT, BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE CHANGED THEIR ATTITUDE.
BUT ON THE OTHER END, FEEL SORRY.
PEOPLE WHEN THEY TRIED TO VOTE AND THERE WE GO, HOPE PEOPLE, WHEN WE TELL APRIL UNTIL THEY FEEL BETTER, COLBY, COLBY HAD A LOT TO MESS THAT UP FOR US.
YOU KNOW, WE USED TO DO, YEAH, WE WOULD GO OUT OR ME AND JAMIE WOULD GO OUT ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE TO LOOK, SOMEBODY CALLED US, I GOT SOMEONE ON THE, THIS NOW, RIGHT.
SOMEBODY CALLED AND THEY WANT US TO COME.
SO WE'D WANT TO TRY TO FIND THE TIME, FIGURE OUT THE TIME TO GO OVER THERE AND EVERYTHING.
UM, AND IT'S FUNNY, YOU KNOW WHAT MARIA WAS SAYING EARLIER THAT SOMETHING THAT OTHER STATES HAVE BEEN DOING, THAT'S ALL NORMAL ALREADY.
AND I KNOW ALABAMA, THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD SAY.
HE WAS SO PROUD OF HIS LITTLE MOBILE BAND AND WENT OUT AND DID IDS AND CHANGE PEOPLE AND DRESSES.
AND I WAS LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT, YOU KNOW? SO WE WANT TO LOOK AT GOING BACK OUT THERE, ALLOWING US TO COME BACK IN, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO GOING BACK OUT AND DOING THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WE TOOK, WE TOOK HIM A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
AND THAT SAVED A LOT OF TIME ON THAT, BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
ME AND MARIE ARE IN THE, IN THE CANVAS MEETING.
AND Y'ALL YOU SAID THAT YOU HAD AN ARGUMENT ABOUT THAT.
AND WE USE THIS GRIDLOCK TREE BECAUSE Y'ALL WERE LIKE, WELL, I'LL FEEL SO, BUT LET'S PLAY.
SO YEAH, WE WE'D RATHER US GET THEM STRAIGHT AND HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THAT.
WE, WE REALIZE THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THAT, UM, AT SOME SITUATIONS, THE ABSENTEE PROCESS, UM, MAYBE THE BEST THING FOR THEM, BUT THEY HAVE TO GET THOSE FORMS IN ON TIME BECAUSE THERE'S A SMALL WINDOW IN RECEIVING THOSE APPLICATIONS.
IF THEY DON'T DO IT, THEY CAN DO IT.
NOW, NURSING HOMES CAN, YOU KNOW, THESE RESIDENTS OF THE NURSING FACILITY CAN REQUEST ABSENTEE BALLOTS.
NOW, AS SOON AS THOSE BALANCE ALREADY, THEY WILL BE MAILED OUT AND THAT WILL RESOLVE SOME OF THE ISSUE.
BUT THOSE ONES WHO COME IN AFTER A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORK WITH THAT.
BUT THERE ARE LIMITATIONS AS TO WHAT THE NURSING FACILITIES CAN DO, BECAUSE LIKE THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR OR WHATEVER, THEY CALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO KIND OF ACT, YOU KNOW, COORDINATE THE ACTIVITIES OF THE RESIDENTS.
[06:50:01]
THEY HELPING THEM WITH FIVE, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN HELP THEM WITH FIVE PEOPLE TO REQUEST AN ABSENTEE BALLOT AND SERVE AS THE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.THAT'S MAKING THEM REGISTRATION CHANGES.
JUST THERE, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS TIRED.
SO ANYWAY, SO YEAH, WE ARE, WE ARE AWARE OF THAT.
THAT'S AN AREA THAT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION.
SIGN UP SHEETS FOR POLL WORK ON THE TABLES AGAIN, WE USED TO HAVE WE'RE FAIRLY, WELL, THEN WE GOT TO WAIT FOR THEM TO NOW, BEFORE ASKING TO WORK WITH FOLKS.
SO WE'RE GETTING THE NAMES ON A LITTLE PAD OF PAPER, BUT IF WE HAD A SIGN UP SHEET IT'S GOING TO CHECK-IN WELL, WE WILL PROBABLY DO, SINCE WENDELL IS LOOKING AT CHANGING THAT PROCESS, WE WILL PUT INFORMATION ON HOW THEY CAN BECOME A WHOLE WORKER.
I SAID THE SURGE PROTECTOR PHONE, I NOTICED IT.
I NOTICED IT IN THE WRITTEN BOXES.
WE'VE STILL GOT THE APRONS FOR THE TTPS.
I'M NOT SURE THE APRON FOR THE PE, I'M NOT SURE WE NEED THEM VIDEO.
IT IS TWO LISTS OF WHAT TO GO, WHERE THAT TELLS YOU DIFFERENT PLACES THERE
I REMEMBER YOU SAYING SOMETHING, BUT WE COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.
AND SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE, WHAT GOES WHERE, YEAH, IT WAS TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT WHAT GOES, WHERE UNTIL YOU TO DIFFERENT PLACES.
BUT I DO TELL THEM IN THE CLERKS, I DO TELL THEM IN THE HANDS-ON CLASS, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BLACK BOX, A LITTLE BLACK BOX, PUT EVERYTHING IN THE NEW BLACK BOX.
UM, OVER, THEY WANT TO AT LEAST TWO, INSTEAD OF JUST ONE OUTLET, THE POWER SPRINGS, WE, WE, UH, WE, I GOT MY GUYS RIGHT NOW WITH ALL THE REBATES.
I GUESS YOU GOT GET SOME EXTRA HELP.
WE HAVE THE TEAMS WORKING WITH US.
SO I PUT IN THE WORK THIS WEEK, YOU'RE GOING THROUGH EVERY LAST DAY, THE ISSUE I'M HAVING, WHICH WE NOTICED IN ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT IS MISSING SURGICAL TECH, ROWAN LADIES, THE POWER BOYS.
WE HAD 50 FLOATERS THAT WE USED TO HAVE IT NOW AND JUST GROWING LEGS.
AND I WANT TO KNOW, ARE THEY BEING TAKEN HOME, BACKYARD FUNCTIONS? LIKE WE'RE MARKING ALL THIS STUFF UP.
SO WE'RE DOING A THOROUGH TORY AGAIN.
AND A LOT OF TIMES, A LOT OF STUFF TO OPEN.
I KNOW LIKE IT'S, IT'S 7:00 PM.
AND I GO OUT FOR THIS VEHICLE, BE READY TO GO HOME.
SO A LOT OF STUFF GETS THROWN ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I MEAN, I'VE FOUND THINGS THAT WE SPOKE, YOU FINDING IN CERTAIN AREAS YOU NOTICED.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE JUST TRIED TO TELL THEM AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT IF I WERE THE CERTAIN TECH STUFF AND THEIR NAME, WE WANT THEM TO IMAGE, WHERE DID THEY SHOW UP? WE HAVE ALL THIS UP IN THE AIR.
AND UM, THIS TIME WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEY'LL REMEMBER WHAT WE'RE GONNA START MARKING THEM OFF.
BUT YOU, YOU START NO SERVICING.
THAT'S THE THING, THAT'S THE ISSUE WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW.
WHY DOES IT SHORT SO LOUD? AND THEY HAVE ALL BEEN OF SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE.
WE, WE, OUR MORALS, WE LAUGH ABOUT THAT EVERY, WHENEVER TIME TO GO THROUGH THE PARTS THAT SHE WOULD SAY, WELL, SUCH AND SUCH IS MISSING.
AND I GO, DID YOU HAVE THAT THE LAST TIME? AND THEN SHE GO, I DID, BUT IT'S NOT THERE NOW.
THEY DECIDED TO TAKE IT HOME, YOU KNOW? AND, UM, WE, WE NEED, WE NEED ART SUPPLIES TO COME BACK HERE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY THAT THEY KNOW WHAT NEED TO BE TAKEN THE SUPPLIES AND TAKE IT HOME.
UM, WE UNDERSTAND THE LITTLE THINGS, BUT EXTENSION CORDS, 25 FOOTERS OF WHAT,
[06:55:02]
1268, $15 A PIECE Y'ALL NEED TO MAKE SURE OF WHEN YOUR UNCLE AROUND ON ELECTION DAY, JUST REMIND THEM TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK IN THE SUPPLY BOXES, PLEASE.I THINK IT WILL SUPPORT ROY AND I NEVER GOT IT BACK FROM COURT ROY TO PUT IT BACK IN MY BOX SO THAT I GAVE MY EXTENSION FORWARD TO FOUR BOY.
AND I GUESS IT WASN'T EXTENSION FOUR OF HIS, OR ONE OF HIS OTHER
BUT, UM, SO HOPEFULLY THEY LEFT IT IN THEIR BOX, HOPEFULLY.
I MEAN, WHAT, WHAT SHOULD BE THE PROCEDURE, BUT HE WANTS TO TELL HIM TO GIVE IT BACK TO US EARLY IN THE DAY.
IF YOU'D KNOW YOU GAVE IT TO THEM, UM, THEY SHOULD RETURN IT ALONG WITH ANY ELECTION SUPPLIES.
AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF, AS WE GET AT THAT, CAUSE WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE MAKE SURE THAT, UM, BACK TO ME, SO, UM, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THAT WE NEED TO RE HIT A RIGHT.
UM, AND ONE OF THOSE IS, UM, THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE AN ABSENCE OF NEWSPAPERS AND LITERATURE REGARDING DIFFERENT CANDIDATES WHO ON THE BALLOT I SAW AT ONE OF MY PRECINCT, SOMEONE SPRAWLED OUT MEANING READING THE NEWSPAPER.
AND I REMINDED HER THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T NEED YOU TO DO THAT DURING THE ELECTION PROCESS.
SHE SAID, WELL, NO ONE IS IN HERE.
I SAID, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK, GO INTO LOW AND JASON AND READ THAT PAPER OR BETTER TO STILL DO THAT BEFORE YOU COME.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO JUST REITERATE THAT, UM, PROCESS OF MAKING SURE THAT OUR PRECINCTS ARE CLEAR OF ELECTIONS, FLYERS AND LITERATURE REGARDING CANDIDATES.
UM, IN ONE INSTANCE, I DID SEE THAT THE BALLOT MARKING DEVICE DID NOT ENSURE PRIVACY.
IT WAS FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION.
AND THIS WAS ONE PORT WHO WAS AN EXCELLENT CAR OR JUST THIS PARTICULAR ELECTION, THE BALLOT MARKING DEVICES PLACED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
AND I REFERRED HER TO PAGE 10 IN THE MANUAL.
UM, YES, WE HAD HER TO DO THAT, BUT I JUST THINK WE NEED TO BE AWARE THAT THAT CAN'T BE A COMPLAINT.
WE'RE NOT REQUIRING THEM TO COMPLY WITH THAT.
I HAPPENED TO HAVE A COUPLE OF PRESETS, THE COMPLAINT, OKAY.
THIS ONE, IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING, REALLY CHANGE THAT QUICKLY BEFORE I LEFT.
BUT, UM, SONS, I'VE NOTICED THAT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T POST ALL OF THE SIGNS THAT WERE, UH, ON THE LIST TO POST.
SO I HAD THEM TO GO AND POST THOSE SIGNS.
NOW, SOME PEOPLE NEED A NEED, A WAY TO POST THE SAY, I HATE TO SEE SOME BLUE TAPE ALL OVER I'M FROM NEW TEACHING PATIENTS.
I THINK YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A METHOD TO POST ENOUGH SIGNS THAT THEY DON'T LOOK, UM, UM, ATTRACTIVE.
JUST THE COMMENT IS THAT ONE OF THE
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THAT RIGHT.
UM, I BET THAT THEY ARE CLERKS NEED SOME CLARITY ON THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS THAT MAY PROMPT COLLIN LOWER ENFORCEMENT, BECAUSE THAT THING ABOUT PEOPLE COMING IN WITH CAMERAS, TAKING PICTURES, I THINK WE NEED TO DEVOTE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND OUTLINE WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES, WHAT CHALLENGES, WHAT ISSUES MAYBE WANT YOU TO MAYBE CALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OF
[07:00:01]
ALL ELECTION ELECTIONS THAT WENT ON IN BLOCK AND BROAD AND, UM, HILTON AND HILTON HEAD.BUT I'M THINKING SOMEHOW I THINK A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, IF THEY HAD BEEN ALERTED AND I HOPE WE CAN ANTICIPATE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE, BUT I THINK IN THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION, IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE DONE.
SO WE NEVER, WOULD'VE KNOWN TO TRY TO ADDRESS IT HERE.
SO NOW WE KNOW W ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS TELL THE CLERKS, THAT'S YOUR PRECINCT.
YOU CONTROL IT AND LET THEM KNOW.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF ANYBODY BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BACKING THEM UP.
AND I THINK, LIKE I SAID, I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED, I GUESS, THE BEST WORD TO FIND OUT THEY WERE IN THERE SCARING OUR PEOPLE.
YOU'RE SCARED THAT, AND THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
LET'S IMAGINE LESS KIND EXPLORED DIFFERENT SITUATIONS THAT WE NEED TO BE ON TOP OF SO THAT THIS KIND OF THING WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
NOW WE NEED TO TRY NOT THINKING TO LOOK FOR AND BE ON THE, UM, ON THE BAR ON HIGH BAR THINGS LIKE THIS AT CUT IT OUT.
SO LET'S PUT IT ON OUR AGENDA AND LET'S TRAIN OUR CLERKS TO THINK ISN'T THIS, SOMETHING THAT WARM AND, UM, MORE EXTENSIVE, UM, RESPONSE.
I THINK, I THINK LIKE WINDOWS THAT, I THINK IT JUST CAUGHT EVERYBODY OFF GUARD, BUT THERE WERE SOME CLARK'S WHO DID THINGS AND WERE STANDING UP TO THEM.
AND THEN SOME OF THEM WERE VERY BIG AND THEY WERE GETTING INCENTIVE MACHINES AND DOING THINGS THAT I WOULDN'T PROBABLY HAVE RECOMMENDED IF THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT AFRAID FOR THEIR SAFETY.
BUT, UM, THAT'S WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, UM, WE NEED TO RE YOU KNOW, MANAGE ALL THREE SAINTS, BUT NO CO-WORKER SHOULD BE INTIMIDATED BY A WATCHER FOR AN OBSERVER OR ANYBODY THAT'S WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR.
UM, THAT WILL PROHIBIT THAT FROM DOING THEIR JOBS THEY HAVE.
AND THEY KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THEM HAVING THE POWER.
IT'D BE A PRIORITY TO CALL IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
ANYTIME THEY FEEL THAT ANYTHING, SOME KIND OF INVASION IS TAKING PLACE THAT WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION.
THEN IT WAS SOMETHING DISTRACTION, SOME SCENARIOS AND SOME THINKING TO LOOK OUT FOR THESE.
AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY FOR US
CAUSE MY FIRST THOUGHT, WHEN MARIE FIRST CALLED ME TO TELL ME ABOUT IT, WHAT IS, WHAT, HOW IN THE WORLD ARE THEY GETTING PAST THE CHECK-IN TABLE? THEY WERE GOING TO THEIR PRECINCT WHERE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO VOTE.
THEY WERE CHECKING IN TO VOTE.
THEY WERE GOING TO VOTE NONE, THE WISER AND THESE WEREN'T PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST PUSHING IN TAX THE FRONT DOOR.
THERE WERE LOTS OF, AND CAN QUIP THAT CAUSE WIFE WITHOUT A CELL PHONE WHILE HE'S PUTTING THE BALLAD IN THE MACHINE AND TOOK A PICTURE.
AND THEN SHE DROVE IN THERE AND 15 SECONDS AND THEY WERE GONE.
ONE OF THE METHODS THAT THEY USE WAS THIS STRIKE UP A CONVERSATION WITH THE PERSON THAT I DIDN'T TAKE.
AND WITH THAT ARSON STRUCK UP THE CONVERSATION.
THEN THE OTHER COMPANION WENT AND TOOK THE PICTURE.
SO IT WAS NOT A BURDEN, YOUR ATTENTION, THEY GOING TO TAKE YES, WE WILL TRAIN ON THAT IN THE NEXT SESSION.
UM, I'M ALREADY, I ALREADY HAVE THAT.
UM, I THINK WE ALL NEED TO START LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS RIGHT NOW AND WE DON'T NEED TO SAY THIS BECAUSE ONE OF MY, UM, PARTICULAR LOCATIONS IS THE SPACE IS NOT ADEQUATE.
THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT ADEQUATE.
AND I THINK THAT WITH THIS UPCOMING NOVEMBER ELECTION, WE NEED TO PLAN FOR MAXIMIZING THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN TERMS OF STRUCTURALLY SETTING UP THREE, SIX SPACES, OH, WAS BEFORE TO BE CONTINUALLY HOT.
AND THE SITUATION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ARRANGE THE EQUIPMENT IN THE PRESCRIBED.
UM, MY THOUGHTS AND I'VE SAID THE PAST COUPLE OF FOUR, OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS CONDITIONS,
[07:05:01]
THIS PROCESS WORKS.AND YOU COULD BE BY TODAY, EVERYBODY GETTING UP AND EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENT ROLES.
CHRIS, WITH THE OFFICE THAT FERNIE WITH THE IOT WENDELL WAS THE PHONE MANAGER, MARIE WITH JUST DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF EVERYONE INVOLVED.
WE HAVE TO DO OUR PART, YOU KNOW, THIS, WE CAN'T OPERATE IT.
IF THE ENGINE IN THE WEEKEND, IF THE ENGINE IS WORKING WITH THE WHEELS ARE FALLING OFF, THEN WE'VE GOT A BIG PROBLEM.
SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS A CONDITIONER, WE'RE DOING OUR PART.
WHEN WE'RE IN THOSE POLLING PLACES, MARINA LEVEL OF BURDEN, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE LOCATIONS LOOK LIKE.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.
IN REGARD TO GETTING POLL WORKER.
WE HAVE GOT TO DO OUR PART LIKE WINDOWS IS THAT WHEN WE WORKERS, HE'S GOING DOWN THE SAME LIST THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, AND WE ALL HAVE JOBS, WE ALL HAVE TO, BUT WE'VE GOTTA DO OUR PART SO THAT BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT AND YES, HE GETS EVERYTHING DONE.
I GIVE HIM ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD, BUT IT'S DIFFICULT FOR WENDELL AND MARIE, CHRIS WHOMEVER LEARN IT TO DO THEIR JOBS, BUT THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO BE HONEST.
SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING OUR PART TO BETTER HELP THEM IN GETTING LEADS, THESE NAMES IN A TIMELY MANNER.
AND GOING DOWN THAT LIST, I MUST'VE GONE FOR JUST THE RUNOFF.
I PROBABLY SPENT THREE HOURS CALLING PEOPLE OFF THAT BUS.
AND WHAT I DID IS I TOOK IT IN MY COMPUTER AND IT'S LIKE SAYING, THIS PERSON NEVER WANTS TO WORK AGAIN.
THIS PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY ALWAYS WORKED FOR COMMISSIONER ADORE.
THIS PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY WORK AT THE VOTER REGISTRATION OFFICE NOW ON DURING ELECTIONS AND THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK.
SO I WAS MAKING NOTE OF THAT, THAT I'M NOT GOING BACK OVER THE SAME PEOPLE BECAUSE I HAVE A REALLY GOOD MEMORY, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER EVERYONE ON THAT LIST, YOU KNOW? AND SO, UM, WE'VE GOT TO DO OUR PART TO TRY AND MINIMIZE THE DISTRACTIONS FOR LANDOWNERS, EVEN ON ELECTION DAY.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO TALK TO MARIA, THIS PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH OUR QUIRKS AND OUR FULL MANAGER, ESPECIALLY OUR WORK IS PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED WITH THE VISUAL ENTAILS.
THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, THEY ALL REALLY, BUT WE THOUGHT SHE TRIED TO MAKE IT SO THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING IS SUCH THAT WE CAN HELP THEM TO MINIMIZE 150 CALLS GOING INTO THE VOTER REGISTRATION OFFICE ON ELECTION DAY.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I TOLD MARIE, AND I'M GOING TO START ON IT BECAUSE TO TINY LITTLE SITUATION THAT COULD ARISE, BUT I WANT TO CREATE FOR IT, GO IN AND ENVISION YOUR BOXES AND BOXES KIND OF LIKE A SPREADSHEET.
LIKE I GIVE THEM A SPREADSHEET IF THIS HAPPENED THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.
IF THIS HAPPENS AND THE MORE WE CAN HELP OUR OWN PARTS, THE MORE COMMUNICATION WE HAVE WITH THEM.
AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU'RE CAUSING, YOU'LL BE LIKE, WELL, BUT YOU CAN CALL THEM THE REGISTRATION ON ONE PHONE CALL AND YOU CAN LET HER DO ALL OF THE EVERYONE'S CLERKS, CALLING WINDOWS WITH THE EXACT THING, YOU KNOW? AND SO THAT'S MY TAKEAWAY FROM THE PRIMARY RUNOFF THAT WE'VE GOT TO ENHANCE OUR UNDERSTANDINGS, THAT WE CAN HELP OUR CLIENTS, THAT WE CAN HELP OUR, UH, WE CAN HELP OUR VOTER SO THAT THEY CAN DO THEIR JOB.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO THAT'S MY, MY TAKEAWAY.
AND I HEARD THEM TALKING ABOUT 40 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION, ALL THESE THINGS BACK RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
SO I DON'T MIND GIVING UP MY TIME SO I COULD BE ABLE TO BREATHE.
AND THAT'S WHAT COULD BE ALL THE WORK I DO IS I'LL BE LIKE ONE BIG OPEN IT ROSLYN, WE'LL BE WELCOMING YOU IN THE BLUFFTON BECAUSE YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL ABOUT POLL WORKERS.
[07:10:02]
THAT THE EARLY VOTING CENTER, BECAUSE IT'S SET UP SO MUCH, JUST LIKE THE PRECINCT ON ELECTION DAY, WE HAD FULL WORKERS COMING IN AND WERE LEARNING.THEY LEARNED THE CORRECT WAY TO PROCESS THE VOTERS AND MPC.
AND, UM, I THINK IF WE COULD GET POLL WORKERS TO VOLUNTEER, BUT THEY ALL VOLUNTEER, EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN COME HERE AND, UM, WORK THE EARLY VOTING ONCE OR TWICE, MAYBE THE WHOLE TIME DOING THE PROCESS, UM, THAT WILL HELP THEM ON THEIR MEMBERSHIP DAY ON HOW TO PROCESS PHOTOS.
CAUSE ROSS HAD ONE, ONE OF YOURS THAT SHE WAS BRAND NEW.
I DON'T THINK SHE EVER WORKED BEFORE.
AND ROSS KIND OF HELPED HER THROUGH THAT PROCESS, DOING THE EARLY VOTING, UM, UM, CENTERS TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
SO THEY'VE LEARNED HOW TO TURN ON HOOKAH, TURN ON THE EPB AND HOW TO PROCESS THE VOTER BY GIVING THE, YOU KNOW, THE IB.
AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS, ONE STEP, SOME OF YOU ARE LONGTERM POLL WORK WITH US AS WELL.
AND THE EVALUATION ROSS THOUGHT THAT THAT PERSON, UM, UNDERSTOOD A WHOLE LOT BETTER NOW ON WHAT HER ROLE WILL BE AT THE PRECINCT.
SO I'M GOING TO MISS EQUIPMENT THAT'S VOLUNTEERED IN THE PAST.
AND I THINK YOU VOLUNTEERED A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT WE'VE HAD POLL WORKERS VOLUNTARY FOR THE EARLY VOTING SITE.
AND WE GOT TO DO THAT AGAIN AT NOVEMBER.
WE HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO STAFF, PEOPLE THERE AS REQUIRED.
PLUS THE POLL WORKERS OVER, EVEN THE ONE THAT'S RUNNING THOSE EARLY MORNING CENTERS.
IF THIS WILL BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO DO AND ENCOURAGE THEM, I HAVE A NEW COUPLE.
THEY WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY OF EARLY VOTING FOR THE PRIMARY AND THE RUNOFF.
SHE WANTED TO WORK ONE MORE LIKE
SO SHE TOOK TWO HANDS-ON TRAINING CLASSES.
WE WORKED FIVE DAYS EARLY JUST TO MAKE SURE.
AND SHE WORKED AT PAIN HELENA WITH, UH, JAMIE.
AND SO JASON SAID SHE HAD HER LISTED LIKE, OKAY, NOW WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS? YOU HAVE THE BIG LONG NOTEBOOK, YOU KNOW, IT'S A HOTBED, IT'S A HOTBED.
SO, UM, ALL THE MANAGERS, YOU ALL BOARD MEMBERS, IF YOU CAN TALK TO SOME OF YOUR BOARD WORK WITH SOME OF THE ONES THAT YOU FEEL MIGHT MEET THE LITTLE EXTRA, UM, ON, UM, THAT IT'S AN OPPORTUNE TIME.
IF THAT MEANS LET THEM, YOU KNOW, SEND THEM TO US AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THEY GET ASSIGNED, EVEN IF IT'S NOT THE WHOLE TWO WEEKS, AT LEAST TWO OR THREE DAYS OUT OF THE WEEK TO WORK THE EARLY VOTING.
I HOPE MY SLIDE DIDN'T COME UP, I GUESS.
UM, YOU DO KNOW, UH, BERNADETTE KNEW BY WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT.
IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WE ARE HIGHLY SUGGESTING ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO BE A CLERK AND YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THEM BEING IN CLUB ONE ELECTION ASYLUM WILL BE CALLED ASSISTANT CLERK IN TRAINING.
AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS, IS SHADOWED THEIR CLERK THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS OF THAT ELECTION.
YOU GET AN EXTRA $60 WITH THEM.
LIKE IF THERE'S A MANDATORY, UM, HANDS OFF THAT THEY WON'T GET PAID FOR THAT, BUT THEY NEED TO SHOW UP AT THAT AND THEY'LL GET A ONE-TIME SNACK FROM THE EXTRA $60.
AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE DONE THE CLERK PROCESS WITH THE CLERK.
SO YOU COULD FEEL IT, THEY COULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE THAN YOU COULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE PUTTING THEM IN THE ACTUAL POSITION.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT Y'ALL CAME UP WITH A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BUT IT HASN'T REALLY TAKEN OFF.
PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE THAT HAVE THAT POTENTIAL ASSIGN THEM AS AN ASSISTANT CLERK, WHEN YOU SENT IT TO ME AND SAID THIS, I WANT THIS PERSON TO BE ASSISTANT CLERK AND JOIN ME.
AND THEN THAT'S HOW I'LL PUT THEM IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY JUST, THEY FOLLOWED THEIR CLERK AND DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR CLERK.
HE'D COME PICK UP THE SUPPLIES WITH THE CLERK, TAKE THEM BACK CHECKLIST TO SAY THAT I HAVE EVERYTHING THEY ADD THE PRECINCT WITH THAT CLERK, UM, CALL, YOU KNOW, GO TO THE DROP OFF SITE AS WELL SO THAT THEY WILL KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS.
THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF FILLING OUT THE RECONCILIATION FULL OF ALONG WITH THE CLERK.
THEY DO EVERYTHING THAT THE CLERK WOULDN'T DO, AND THAT WOULD MAKE THEM MORE COMFORTABLE IN STANDING ALONE WHEN THAT TIME COMES.
AND WE CAN NOT BE AFRAID THAT PERSON IS NOT WORKING OUT AS THEY, AND NOT BE AFRAID TO SAY, MAYBE THIS PERSON NEEDS TO BE RETIRED.
I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR WHAT, TWO YEARS NOW, TWO AND A HALF YEARS I'VE LET GO FIVE OR SIX PEOPLE.
LIKE WE ALWAYS SAY WITH THE GROUP THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR PEOPLE ARE DOING WHAT IS
[07:15:09]
SO I TOLD ALEX THAT WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TILL FIVE AT NIGHT, BUT I THINK IT'S, IT'S, UM, IT'S BEEN FRUITFUL AND I THINK THAT WE NEEDED THIS.I JUST WISH ALL MY BOARD MEMBERS WERE HERE.
THEY CAN GO BACK AND WATCH THIS ON YOUTUBE, YOUTUBE, RIGHT? VIDEO ON DEMAND, VIDEO ON DEMAND ON YOUTUBE, BUT IT WILL BE.
SO MAYBE THEY'LL GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WORK HIS STUFF'S DOING THIS SESSION AGAIN.
AND, UM, AFTER WE HAVE GONE THROUGH OUR SPEEDING OVER HERE, Y'ALL KNOW WHY I DON'T LIKE ANYBODY BEATING UP ON OUR CALL MANAGERS.
THEY HAVE A LOT TO DO ALL THE ELECTION DAY AND IT'S A LOT TO REMEMBER, AND THEY AREN'T REALLY HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO SO WELL.
WE WANT TO TRAIN THEM AND EDUCATE THEM.
AND, UM, WE DON'T WANT TO GET PELL, UM, OR TREAT THEM AS WE DON'T APPRECIATE.
SO VISIT YOUR POLL, YOUR POLLING PLACES, MAKE SURE YOUR OWN WORKERS DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO, INCARNATE THEM TO DO THINGS IN ORDER AND BY THE BOOK.
AND THEN IN ORDER FOR YOU TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND THAT'S WHY WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS FOR ME.
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY, BUT WE ALSO WANT TIME AND BOND SO THAT WE WILL BE A MORE COHESIVE GROUP, YOU KNOW? AND I SAY ALL THE TIME, THE DEPARTMENT OR THE OFFICE IS PART OF YOU, YOU ARE PART OF THE OFFICE.
WE ARE THE BOARD OF VOTER, REGISTRATION AND ELECTIONS.
SO WE HAVE TO WORK OUT YOUR TEAM MORE INVOLVED.
SO ANYBODY HAVE ANY CLOSING REMARKS BEFORE WE TELL ALEX TO SHUT US DOWN? YEAH.
