Actually it was the source of this comment that first alerted me but started to read the link, anyway, and sure enough got no further than the begining with “…cnbc…” Tells me and most others with any common sense all we need to know of fake, folly and frivolous.
I can find 10 more news sources if you like, but somehow I don’t think you’ll want to see the truth anyway.
Good morning,
What does the (W) mean? Write-in, withdrew or winner? Some races have it included and others don’t even with multiple candidates listed. TY.
We updated the story for clarity.
My hope is that there be some additional thought and effort put into letting the voters know the location of the polling places and even consideration of the location of these polling places. After driving to three different locations, (past locations), I gave up and did not vote. I since been told there was some information in the local news outlets on the locations, but our elected officials, and our county clerk, Amy Kippenbrock need to realize many people no longer have subscriptions to the local paper, and not all our radio stations report the news consistently, and the little signs placed at former polling places look like any other sign placed in a yard.
My opinion there should have been post cards sent to the register voters informing them their polling places has changed. I take my voting as a patriotic duty and polling places should be convenient and the officials on Dubois County Election board should realize that communication on the location of a polling place should be paramount in the process.
While I understand what you’re saying, believe I’ve seen this information several times in various forms/publications, more than once, etc…they can’t bring it to our front doors on a silver platter with a signature required. Maybe they can (do they already?) attach or include it somehow with property tax or utility bills. Everyone just needs to be a bit more pro-active in paying attention and planning ahead…if easier said than done to be sure.
As to the “local paper,” if referring to The Herald…actually think the info was there at least or more than once…the paper isn’t local anymore and has morphed more leftward to a fraction of its former self, plus soon to be delivered by the post office.
I totally agree… I went to my place said go to 2 different places didn’t have the time to do so…everyone is on Facebook or knows someone who could pass the word…have ALWAYS voted did not this time
