WEBVTT

00:00:00.546 --> 00:00:07.799
- OK, it is 12.01. We will call this to order. And I'm going to slide around, and you guys help me decide

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:14.773
- how to do this if you've done it before, because I haven't. So Ms. Kiley, do you help us with this?

00:00:14.773 --> 00:00:21.956
- Where does this start? If you guys have any questions, I can help with them. So Mr. Chair? Yes, ma'am.

00:00:21.956 --> 00:00:29.209
- I think it would be very nice if you wanted to explain why we're here. We are here because we are going

00:00:29.209 --> 00:00:30.046
- to cure or,

00:00:30.402 --> 00:00:39.485
- clarify provisional ballots from the May 5, 2026 primary in Monroe County. We have how many ballots?

00:00:39.485 --> 00:00:48.838
- There's a total of 62. 62. And we have in front of us the paperwork. We have talked about the fact that

00:00:48.838 --> 00:00:58.910
- we didn't have any voter ID at the time of voting. We have on the early voting all precincts, we have one, two,

00:01:00.290 --> 00:01:05.947
- It looks like two that have been cured, the top two. Well, there's a third one down here, but I'm not

00:01:05.947 --> 00:01:11.549
- sure. I think we can just take them basically in order, but combine the first two. OK. You guys have

00:01:11.549 --> 00:01:17.095
- done it before. I'm going to let you. It's probably the easiest way to keep track. Works for me. So

00:01:17.095 --> 00:01:18.814
- the first two have been cured.

00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:26.166
- Do we need a motion for those? We just say. You tell me. I got you. I got you, sir. I'm going to let

00:01:26.166 --> 00:01:33.370
- you run this. You're not going to refer to anyone by name. Drive this bus. I got you, sir. During early

00:01:33.370 --> 00:01:40.505
- voting, nine people were issued provisional ballots. The first two from Bloomington 11 and Bloomington

00:01:40.505 --> 00:01:46.878
- 13 did not have ID at the time of voting. And our records indicate that they have presented

00:01:47.106 --> 00:01:56.180
- identification since that time. Typically, we would have a copy of that so the board could see that.

00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:05.523
- So if you have that, happy to share with the board? The whole bag. The whole bag? Thank you. All right.

00:02:05.523 --> 00:02:14.238
- So this is the seal that was not tampered with. The numbers are on the stretcher. They do match.

00:02:14.914 --> 00:02:25.513
- and the nine provisional ballots. I'm just going to make sure there's nine. There are nine. All right.

00:02:25.513 --> 00:02:36.832
- So one and two were no voter ID at the time of voting. Correct. And they have since presented identification.

00:02:36.832 --> 00:02:43.006
- I saw one. I saw the one on this one. And here's the other.

00:02:46.114 --> 00:02:53.929
- So Mr. Chair, unless you have questions or concerns, or Ms. Carolyn, you have questions or concerns,

00:02:53.929 --> 00:03:01.820
- I will make a motion to accept the provisional ballots for voter number one and voter number two. And

00:03:01.820 --> 00:03:09.790
- I will second that. OK, then we just call. Then we vote. Those in favor, or do we need to call? Do you

00:03:09.790 --> 00:03:15.902
- need to call the roll again? I think those in favor. Those in favor, aye. Aye.

00:03:16.386 --> 00:03:24.811
- Okay so it doesn't sound like there was anything. Voter number three. Our notes indicate they registered

00:03:24.811 --> 00:03:32.996
- at the FSSA but the registration was never received and I'm going to guess that you looked in SVRS to

00:03:32.996 --> 00:03:41.502
- verify. So we've reviewed this the voter had registered in 2021 they were then cancelled in 2023 due to a

00:03:41.826 --> 00:03:48.995
- address that was never updated within our office. They were sent two forms of voterless maintenance

00:03:48.995 --> 00:03:56.452
- and none of those came back. So they were automatically canceled through the SVRS voterless maintenance

00:03:56.452 --> 00:04:03.764
- portal. And are they now in the system again or they have to register again? They do need to register

00:04:03.764 --> 00:04:07.134
- again. We presented them with a VRG 412. Okay.

00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:14.693
- So they actually filled out the? Yep. And then we'll process that starting on the 19th. OK.

00:04:14.693 --> 00:04:20.966
- In that case, I need the two that were accepted. Oh, except my good is different. OK. Hand me the ones

00:04:20.966 --> 00:04:26.935
- that were accepted. Gotcha. And then we'll hang on to the ones that weren't. I am not uneducated.

00:04:26.935 --> 00:04:33.147
- You're OK. But I have to see it. You're OK. So I would move that we reject this one since they didn't

00:04:33.147 --> 00:04:36.862
- finish their registration. Second. Those in favor, aye. Aye.

00:04:40.002 --> 00:04:47.910
- Now I'll give it back to you. See it? Voter number four. They are not in the poll book, and it appears

00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:55.817
- that that's because they are registered in Marion County. You do have to be registered in Monroe prior

00:04:55.817 --> 00:05:03.571
- to the first day of early voting to be able to vote in this election. And so if they were registered

00:05:03.571 --> 00:05:09.790
- in Marion, that could not be. So I will make a motion, Mr. Chair, that we reject

00:05:10.082 --> 00:05:21.569
- I'll second that one. Those in favor? Aye. We have two now that had no voter ID that were not cured.

00:05:21.569 --> 00:05:33.056
- And they were not cured. So that is this one and this one. And they had the 10 days. They are active

00:05:33.056 --> 00:05:38.174
- voters for Clear Creek 3 and Bloomington 22.

00:05:39.010 --> 00:05:48.168
- but never presented ID. In which case, I will make the motion to reject these two provisions. I'll second

00:05:48.168 --> 00:05:57.240
- that one. Those in favor, aye. Aye. Opposed? I don't need to say opposed if I hear both of you, so we'll

00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:05.966
- just do it that way. OK. All right. Voter number seven, their registration status was pending at the

00:06:05.966 --> 00:06:08.126
- time, but they must have

00:06:09.346 --> 00:06:16.315
- voted or I'm sorry registered before the deadline because it was cured and so like maybe they voted

00:06:16.315 --> 00:06:23.562
- the day or so before. Yes they were given the option to vote provisionally or they could come back once

00:06:23.562 --> 00:06:30.740
- they were in active status they chose to vote provisionally and then it went into active. So they were

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:37.778
- active by the primary? By the time yeah and then I would vote to accept that one. Second. Okay those

00:06:37.778 --> 00:06:39.102
- in favor aye? Aye.

00:06:40.546 --> 00:06:50.569
- Order number eight and nine are registered in Marion and Owen County respectively, not in the poll book

00:06:50.569 --> 00:06:56.062
- for Monroe County. That's this one, Marion County. Okay.

00:07:12.066 --> 00:07:21.875
- and O-1 County. So neither is registered in Monroe County and therefore not eligible to vote in Monroe

00:07:21.875 --> 00:07:30.732
- County so I will make the motion to reject both of these provisions. And I will second that.

00:07:30.732 --> 00:07:40.446
- Those in favor? Aye. We are moving on to the Academy. Seal is intact. We have one provisional ballot.

00:07:43.970 --> 00:08:02.048
- This person had no voter ID at the time, and they do not appear to have security. If they had an ID

00:08:02.048 --> 00:08:12.894
- and they didn't cure it, then I would make a motion that we

00:08:13.282 --> 00:08:31.025
- reject the provisional? Second. Those in favor? Aye. Next is Benford Elementary. The seal is intact.

00:08:31.025 --> 00:08:40.862
- There should be two. I do find two provisional ballots.

00:08:41.058 --> 00:08:47.038
- voter number 11 was not in the poll book because they are from Lawrence County.

00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:27.138
- This is actually the, this is 12. Well that's 12, please excuse me. That's okay. It was voter number

00:09:27.138 --> 00:09:36.989
- 11. I'm glad we caught it. 11 is not in the poll book and they have not taken care of that, it appears.

00:09:36.989 --> 00:09:46.462
- I will make the motion to exclude or to reject the provisional ballot for number 11. I will second.

00:09:46.818 --> 00:09:58.521
- those in favor aye aye right and then you have voter number 12 who had no voter ID at the time and does

00:09:58.521 --> 00:10:09.999
- not appear to have presented presented an ID in the ten days since the election so I will reject that

00:10:09.999 --> 00:10:16.638
- one second those in favor aye aye okay we are moving on to

00:10:16.770 --> 00:10:31.443
- Bloomington High School South where we had one provisional ballot issue. One provisional ballot issue.

00:10:31.443 --> 00:10:40.702
- The seal is intact. And I do find one provisional ballot inside.

00:10:42.434 --> 00:10:49.785
- Voter number 13 appears to have had no identification at the time she voted. That's why she was issued

00:10:49.785 --> 00:10:57.279
- a provisional, and it does not appear that she cured that in the 10 days. I will make a motion to reject

00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:04.702
- voter number 13's provisional ballot because she did not submit proper ID. Second. Those in favor? Aye.

00:11:12.930 --> 00:11:22.841
- All righty, next we are to the Boys and Girls Club. The seal is here and does match the information

00:11:22.841 --> 00:11:32.553
- we have for the seal number. Is that the one? There's just one. Just one? Yeah. Just making sure.

00:11:32.553 --> 00:11:41.374
- All right. It says from Jennings County. All right. So I do find one provisional ballot.

00:11:41.538 --> 00:11:56.410
- They were not in the poll book because they were registered in another county. I will make a motion

00:11:56.410 --> 00:12:05.630
- to reject voter number 14's. Second. Those in favor aye. Aye.

00:12:12.706 --> 00:12:23.809
- Okay, we are moving on to Election Central, where we appear to have had eight provisional ballots. The

00:12:23.809 --> 00:12:25.534
- seal is intact.

00:12:44.578 --> 00:12:58.790
- I do find eight provisional ballots. Voter number 15 had no identification at the time and does not

00:12:58.790 --> 00:13:10.302
- appear to have presented identification in the past 10 days. Given that they are

00:13:11.426 --> 00:13:19.607
- did not have appropriate ID at the time of voting and did not cure it. I will make the motion to reject

00:13:19.607 --> 00:13:27.552
- this ballot. I will second. Those in favor, aye. Aye. I'm going to set these up. You do how you want

00:13:27.552 --> 00:13:35.969
- to handle that. I'm good with that. All righty. Voter number 16 regrettably registered after the deadline.

00:13:35.969 --> 00:13:38.014
- The deadline was April 6.

00:13:39.138 --> 00:13:47.354
- April 6th, and they registered to vote on May 4th, which regrettably, I mean, the spirit was there.

00:13:47.354 --> 00:13:55.570
- And they should be able to fall, so. OK, thank you. So they are eligible to vote in the general. If

00:13:55.570 --> 00:14:03.458
- they're here in November, they can vote in the general, but they could not vote in the primary.

00:14:03.458 --> 00:14:08.798
- I'm sorry, did I miss a motion? No, no, we haven't made one yet.

00:14:09.858 --> 00:14:19.094
- I'll make the motion to reject this ballot. Second. Those in favor? Aye. See, I'm learning how to make

00:14:19.094 --> 00:14:28.419
- that more efficient there. Voter number 17 was at the wrong location. There were two others. I'm sorry?

00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:37.834
- There were two others at the same location. Oh, so we want to address 17, 20, and 21. Those three people

00:14:37.834 --> 00:14:38.910
- were voting

00:14:39.330 --> 00:14:52.056
- at the wrong location. They came to Election Central. So there's 17. Just to clarify, these are Election

00:14:52.056 --> 00:15:04.662
- Day, correct? Yes. Here is 20. And here is 21. Any indication as to if they had time to go to the right

00:15:04.662 --> 00:15:07.934
- location? I'm guessing no.

00:15:12.098 --> 00:15:22.328
- So they did not. I mean, even if they did, they chose not to, so. Yeah. So I will make a motion for

00:15:22.328 --> 00:15:32.558
- number 17, number 20, and number 21 for those voters that we reject those ballots because they were

00:15:32.558 --> 00:15:41.662
- not at the right location. I will second. Those in favor? Aye. So that's 17, 20, and 21.

00:15:46.690 --> 00:15:56.971
- was no voter ID at the time of voting but did present. Okay, thank you. 18 was different than 19. So

00:15:56.971 --> 00:16:07.252
- I will make a motion to accept voter number 18's ballot because they did present identification in a

00:16:07.252 --> 00:16:15.294
- timely manner. I will second. Those in favor, aye. And then number 19 did not.

00:16:15.426 --> 00:16:31.551
- did not present and so I will make a motion to reject ballot number 19 I will second those in favor

00:16:31.551 --> 00:16:43.806
- aye okay okay voter number 22 updated their registration after the deadline

00:16:44.066 --> 00:16:55.354
- But they changed it in April 2026, just after April 6th. So they were not eligible to vote in the primary

00:16:55.354 --> 00:17:06.642
- in Monroe County, but will be eligible to vote in the fall. Yes. So I will make a motion to reject ballot

00:17:06.642 --> 00:17:12.606
- number 22. Second. Those in favor? Aye. Ms. Kiley, this

00:17:12.706 --> 00:17:24.867
- form is very easy to follow. Thank you. Next we are moving to the Ellisville Christian Church where

00:17:24.867 --> 00:17:37.150
- we had one provisional ballot issued. The seal is intact and there is one provisional ballot inside.

00:17:40.738 --> 00:17:51.537
- Voter number 23 had no ID, presented no ID at the time of voting, and does not appear to have presented

00:17:51.537 --> 00:18:01.298
- with ID in the past 10 days. I will make a motion to reject voter number 23's ballot. Second.

00:18:01.298 --> 00:18:03.998
- Those in favor? Aye. Aye.

00:18:08.962 --> 00:18:18.100
- We are moving on to a manual church. May I recommend that we hear voter 25, I'm sorry, voter 24, 25,

00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:27.057
- and 27 for being, they presented at the wrong location. Oh yes, yes. Are you okay with that? Sure,

00:18:27.057 --> 00:18:36.286
- I'm sorry, yes. I didn't know I had to have, yes, I'm good with that. All righty. The seal is intact.

00:18:44.706 --> 00:18:56.449
- There are four provisional ballots inside. So voter two or is it when we pull out, I think, as the one

00:18:56.449 --> 00:19:07.850
- that was not in? I'm so sorry. Number 26. Thank you. So voter number 24 and 25. Can we do in 27? We

00:19:07.850 --> 00:19:14.462
- can do those three. They presented in the wrong location.

00:19:20.994 --> 00:19:32.907
- At least one of them looks like they come from a county that has both centers. So they probably thought

00:19:32.907 --> 00:19:44.590
- this was a county that had both centers. However, this says that the voter's driver's license address

00:19:44.590 --> 00:19:49.630
- does not match the poll book address, which

00:19:50.050 --> 00:19:58.200
- actually irrelevant. So that's 24. The driver's license does not have to match what's in the poll book.

00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:06.350
- But they were still, even if it had, based on their registration, they presented at the wrong location.

00:20:06.350 --> 00:20:14.343
- Because it looks like they were inactive. If they had been at the right location, all they would have

00:20:14.343 --> 00:20:19.358
- had to do to become active would be to vote. But they were not.

00:20:23.714 --> 00:20:29.565
- little yeah I'm not quite solid on the issue with this one this is and this is number 24 so the issue

00:20:29.565 --> 00:20:35.358
- is that the address on the license doesn't have to match the address of the poll book but they still

00:20:35.358 --> 00:20:41.266
- have to be at the right precinct and they were okay that's what that's kind of what I thought you said

00:20:41.266 --> 00:20:43.102
- but I wanted to be sure so then

00:20:43.330 --> 00:20:51.493
- Yes, so the spreadsheet will have the correct precinct that they should have been at next to their name,

00:20:51.493 --> 00:20:59.267
- and then above with the name of the location, it tells you which precincts were at that location on

00:20:59.267 --> 00:21:07.196
- the spreadsheet. Right. OK. So they were all in their own polling site. So unfortunately, I will make

00:21:07.196 --> 00:21:13.182
- the recommendation to reject all three of these, 24, 25, and 27. 27. Second.

00:21:13.986 --> 00:21:24.405
- those in favor? Aye. 24, 25 and 27. 26 was not in the poll book and appears to be registered in Allen

00:21:24.405 --> 00:21:34.721
- County. So of course you have to be a voter registered in Monroe to vote in Monroe on the primary so

00:21:34.721 --> 00:21:41.054
- I will make a recommendation that we reject voter number 26's

00:21:42.402 --> 00:21:50.128
- provisional ballot. And he did register on primary day, but was not eligible to vote in the primary.

00:21:50.128 --> 00:21:58.083
- He will be eligible to vote in the general if he remains in the county. Correct. And to be clear, there

00:21:58.083 --> 00:22:05.733
- is no same day registration in Indiana. So he registered. Maybe he comes from a state where they do

00:22:05.733 --> 00:22:12.158
- have same day registration. But in Indiana, we do not. In which case, again, I will

00:22:12.706 --> 00:22:23.805
- make the motion to reject this ballot. I will second. Those in favor? Aye. For Faith Lutheran Church,

00:22:23.805 --> 00:22:34.686
- we have one provisional ballot. The seal, the number does match on the seal and the seal is intact.

00:22:42.562 --> 00:22:51.022
- There's one provisional ballot in here and voter number 28 had no identification at the time that they

00:22:51.022 --> 00:22:57.182
- voted and it appears that they did not bring anything in the past 10 days.

00:23:12.930 --> 00:23:22.917
- and I will make a motion to reject the ballot. I will second. Those in favor? Aye. We are moving on

00:23:22.917 --> 00:23:33.003
- to the family life church where one provisional ballot was issued. The seal is intact and the number

00:23:33.003 --> 00:23:36.798
- does match what is on your paperwork.

00:23:41.794 --> 00:23:54.316
- There's one provisional ballot inside and voter number 29 presented with no voter ID at the time of

00:23:54.316 --> 00:24:03.582
- voting. We have notes. Yeah. Boy, we have notes. So we can share reading.

00:24:14.434 --> 00:24:29.081
- So it was entered in the poll book as a regular ballot but should have been a provisional because there's

00:24:29.081 --> 00:24:42.622
- no ID. So it just becomes a provisional. It becomes a provisional, yes. But they didn't do an ID.

00:24:43.586 --> 00:24:54.142
- And they did not. In which case, we will make a motion to reject the ballot. Second. Those in favor?

00:24:54.142 --> 00:25:04.906
- Aye. All righty. Then we are moving on to Grandview Elementary, where we have two provisional ballots.

00:25:04.906 --> 00:25:12.222
- The seal is intact, and the number matches what is on your paperwork.

00:25:21.154 --> 00:25:30.118
- There are two provisional ballots here. And so voter number 30, I checked to make sure before I started

00:25:30.118 --> 00:25:38.996
- talking, they weren't even 17 when they registered. That's where the problem is. So not only were they

00:25:38.996 --> 00:25:45.374
- under 18 by the time of November 24. Did you say they registered in 2024?

00:25:45.474 --> 00:25:53.724
- yeah so they had registered in 2024 they were not even 17 at the time of their registration they have

00:25:53.724 --> 00:26:02.135
- not yet updated their registration or re registered since then and so of course for the public you have

00:26:02.135 --> 00:26:10.223
- to be 18 by the general but you can vote in the primary at 17 as long as you will turn 18 because i

00:26:10.223 --> 00:26:13.054
- was like i voted at 17 so i had to

00:26:13.250 --> 00:26:18.832
- I had to clarify, but they weren't even 17 when they applied. Maybe when you get your license,

00:26:18.832 --> 00:26:24.942
- they said yes. So in 2024, they actually weren't eligible. They were not eligible. And then they needed

00:26:24.942 --> 00:26:31.229
- to come in and register. Yeah, they were issued the letter that says you were rejected due to this reason.

00:26:31.229 --> 00:26:37.222
- And are they, will they be 18 by this general? Yeah. Yes. Okay. So they did register, they registered

00:26:37.222 --> 00:26:38.750
- when they were too young.

00:26:38.882 --> 00:26:44.373
- They got a letter that says you're too young. You got to come back. And they didn't come back. Correct.

00:26:44.373 --> 00:26:49.810
- OK. So they still need to register. But then they showed up to vote. Correct. But they would have been

00:26:49.810 --> 00:26:55.143
- given new paperwork that day to register. But the provisional, they weren't. And then they were, the

00:26:55.143 --> 00:27:00.686
- inspector at that location told them that they need to come in and fill out an actual registration form.

00:27:00.686 --> 00:27:02.270
- So they were told to come in.

00:27:04.162 --> 00:27:12.769
- So hopefully they will register. So if they don't come in, they will not be eligible in the fall. But

00:27:12.769 --> 00:27:21.461
- if they do, they will be. Correct. All right. Thank you. Do we reach out to these people and tell them

00:27:21.461 --> 00:27:30.237
- what has happened? And I'm not critical if we don't. I'm just asking if we do. We have not in the past.

00:27:30.237 --> 00:27:32.094
- OK. But she was here.

00:27:32.290 --> 00:27:39.563
- They are eligible to ask. Yes. Okay. Yeah, I'm just. And she could have come right around to the, she

00:27:39.563 --> 00:27:46.837
- could have come right around to the office and filled out paperwork while she was here. Well, she was

00:27:46.837 --> 00:27:54.252
- at Grandview. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. But anyway, so we'll need a motion to reject this particular ballot.

00:27:54.252 --> 00:28:00.670
- Number 30. Number 30. Motion. Second. Yeah. Oh, that's okay. Second. Those in favor? Aye.

00:28:05.122 --> 00:28:14.618
- 31, she is the cutest little thing. Look at the picture. She had no ID at the time of voting, but did

00:28:14.618 --> 00:28:24.207
- indeed bring her ID in to cure her provisional ballot. And so I will happily make a motion. Is she not

00:28:24.207 --> 00:28:33.982
- the cutest little thing? I will happily make a motion to accept voter number 31's ballot. I will second.

00:28:34.818 --> 00:28:52.376
- Those in favor? Aye. The next location is the Harrisburg Community Center. There is a seal and it is

00:28:52.376 --> 00:29:00.894
- intact. There was one provisional ballot issued.

00:29:06.306 --> 00:29:17.883
- There is one provisional ballot inside. And voter number 32 registered after the deadline. I don't see

00:29:17.883 --> 00:29:23.166
- when they did, but it had to be after April 6.

00:29:42.370 --> 00:29:52.846
- So I will make the motion to reject this ballot, but this voter will be eligible to vote in the fall.

00:29:52.846 --> 00:30:03.426
- Second. Those in favor? Aye. I shall. All righty. We are moving on to the Indiana Memorial Union. This

00:30:03.426 --> 00:30:10.718
- is an unusually small number for IMU. We have two provisional ballots.

00:30:11.490 --> 00:30:18.870
- matches the number on your paperwork it is intact and if we can address those together neither of those

00:30:18.870 --> 00:30:26.320
- voters number 33 or number 34 was in the poll book because one is registered in Lake that's voter number

00:30:26.320 --> 00:30:31.358
- 33 and the other was registered in Hendricks which is voter number 34.

00:30:57.282 --> 00:31:07.730
- I will make the motion to reject both ballots, 33 and 34. Second. Those in favor? Aye. Mr. Chair, if

00:31:07.730 --> 00:31:18.384
- I may recommend that we address the next four in one motion, given that they all presented to Sherwood

00:31:18.384 --> 00:31:26.142
- Oaks, which was the wrong location for where they should have been. And so

00:31:26.338 --> 00:31:35.610
- I am recommending that we address all four at the same time. I think we should do that. No objection?

00:31:35.610 --> 00:31:45.065
- Yeah. So Sherwood Oaks Christian Church for provisional ballots. The seal is intact and does match what

00:31:45.065 --> 00:31:53.246
- you have on your paperwork. I do find four provisional ballots inside. Again, all four at

00:31:54.274 --> 00:32:04.251
- wrong presented at the wrong location. I'm putting them in order for you. Thank you. And so unless there

00:32:04.251 --> 00:32:13.848
- are objections I am going to make a motion that we reject the ballots the provisional ballots for 34

00:32:13.848 --> 00:32:16.414
- I'm sorry 35 36 37 and 38.

00:32:41.858 --> 00:32:52.455
- make the motion to reject the four ballots, 35 through 38. I'll take yours as a second. So those in

00:32:52.455 --> 00:33:03.158
- favor? Aye. She was reading. That's the biggest we have all day. That's a pretty good day. Okay. Our

00:33:03.158 --> 00:33:08.350
- next location is the St. John's Catholic Church.

00:33:10.594 --> 00:33:18.604
- seal is intact and matches the seal number that is on your paperwork. There was only one. Can you believe

00:33:18.604 --> 00:33:26.463
- for a polling site that big that there was only one provisional ballot? And so as you know, during the,

00:33:26.463 --> 00:33:34.095
- there was a poll book error in the first 15, 16 minutes or so. So this person should have been given

00:33:34.095 --> 00:33:39.838
- a regular ballot and the form 42, but they were given a provisional ballot.

00:33:40.322 --> 00:33:48.652
- And so through no fault of their own, they were given a provisional ballot when they should have been

00:33:48.652 --> 00:33:56.819
- given a regular. I am going to recommend that we accept this ballot. I will second. So this was one

00:33:56.819 --> 00:34:05.313
- of the, like, 6.05 in the mornings when everything was oopsed, OK? Yes. And everything. Just to clarify

00:34:05.313 --> 00:34:09.886
- that, yes. By 6.15, we were good. And this is the only?

00:34:10.050 --> 00:34:20.691
- provisional that was issued in that time frame. That's good. Yes. So we have a motion and a second to

00:34:20.691 --> 00:34:31.436
- accept those in favor. Aye. Okay. We are moving to bless their heart, the Steinsville Lions Club where

00:34:31.436 --> 00:34:39.678
- they issued one provisional ballot to someone for being in the wrong location.

00:34:40.706 --> 00:34:47.424
- And that's unfortunate because that's so far out. It does. Makes you kind of raise your eyebrows since

00:34:47.424 --> 00:34:53.947
- that's where it is. They went all the way out only to be told that they were at the wrong location.

00:34:53.947 --> 00:35:00.796
- I'm trying to figure out where they should have been. Looks like they should have gone to the Ellisville

00:35:00.796 --> 00:35:07.710
- Christian Church. Yep. Yeah. Richland 6, yes. Bless their heart. OK, so there is one. The seal is intact.

00:35:16.386 --> 00:35:25.977
- But it would have been easy to double back. Yeah, because you're going to go just about by the other

00:35:25.977 --> 00:35:35.852
- place. It could have been five minutes to six, for all we know. It could have been five minutes to six.

00:35:35.852 --> 00:35:45.918
- I will make a motion to reject voter number 40's provisional ballot for presenting at the wrong location.

00:35:46.242 --> 00:35:58.130
- I will second. Those in favor? Aye. Okay. Moving on to Summit Elementary. We have two provisional ballots

00:35:58.130 --> 00:36:07.550
- that were issued. The seal is intact and matches the information on your paperwork.

00:36:18.850 --> 00:36:42.753
- number 41 presented at the wrong location. Looks like they should have gone to the academy. And they

00:36:42.753 --> 00:36:47.486
- went to the summit.

00:37:04.226 --> 00:37:14.438
- Actually, it looks like they're registered in Owen County anyway. Yeah, and that's the correct name,

00:37:14.438 --> 00:37:24.750
- it looks like. But anyway, they're still in the wrong location. So I will make a motion to reject the

00:37:24.750 --> 00:37:32.030
- ballot. Second. Those in favor? Aye. Aye. And voter number 42 presented

00:37:32.194 --> 00:37:43.202
- that he's not in the polling book, and that is because this person is registered in Morgan County. So

00:37:43.202 --> 00:37:53.779
- never updated his registration when he moved to Monroe. So correct. Hopefully have done that now.

00:37:53.779 --> 00:38:01.118
- So again, I will make a motion to reject the ballot. I will second.

00:38:01.346 --> 00:38:17.682
- those in favor aye aye okay we are to try North Middle School where one provisional ballot was issued

00:38:17.682 --> 00:38:30.494
- the seal is intact matches the paperwork that you have been given and I do find

00:38:32.514 --> 00:38:42.755
- one provisional ballot inside. This voter had a change of address for which we will need to issue what's

00:38:42.755 --> 00:38:52.704
- known as a certificate of error. They were properly registered, should have been allowed to vote. And

00:38:52.704 --> 00:38:58.654
- so their document was scanned in but wasn't fully processed.

00:39:01.122 --> 00:39:20.145
- So they did everything right? They did everything right. So I will make a motion to accept voter number

00:39:20.145 --> 00:39:30.206
- 43's ballot. I will second. Those in favor? Aye. Okay.

00:39:30.658 --> 00:39:43.497
- We are moving along. How you doing? We are two university elementary, where two provisional ballots

00:39:43.497 --> 00:39:56.465
- were issued. The seal is intact and does match information you have on your paperwork. I do find two

00:39:56.465 --> 00:40:00.574
- provisional ballots inside. OK.

00:40:01.538 --> 00:40:13.457
- So as I understand it, voter number 44, it said they were not registered, but the problem is that their

00:40:13.457 --> 00:40:24.574
- name was misspelled. And this also took place in that first 15 minutes once the polls were open.

00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:32.061
- we have confirmed that they were truly registered yes they were truly registered their name was just

00:40:32.061 --> 00:40:38.805
- misspelled so it showed that they were not in the poll book and not registered to vote when we look

00:40:38.805 --> 00:40:45.683
- them up in our system in svrs we found the misspelling the voter came in corrected it on election day

00:40:45.683 --> 00:40:51.550
- and their ballot should have been presented to them as a regular ballot i will then uh

00:40:52.194 --> 00:41:03.485
- Recommend that we accept this power. Yeah. And I was trying to find the spelling. I will second those

00:41:03.485 --> 00:41:10.238
- in favor. I voter number 45 presented at the wrong location.

00:41:26.722 --> 00:41:50.878
- There it is. Okay. I will make the motion to reject the ballot. Second. Those in favor? Aye.

00:42:02.434 --> 00:42:12.538
- OK. Moving on to missing signatures. So we're through all the polling sites, and we're just dealing

00:42:12.538 --> 00:42:22.338
- with missing signatures, mismatched signatures, and travel board. OK. So for missing signatures,

00:42:22.338 --> 00:42:29.310
- we have two. So again, to clarify, they had until the 13th, correct?

00:42:29.410 --> 00:42:36.241
- Yes. They had until the 13th at noon to return a form that we sent to them with a signature on it to

00:42:36.241 --> 00:42:43.005
- cure their missing signature on their ballot. So to clarify, you sent them something and said, hey,

00:42:43.005 --> 00:42:49.769
- we need your signature. Come do it. And they did. Yes. And so Mr. Chair, 46 and 47 present with the

00:42:49.769 --> 00:42:56.735
- same issue and both cured them in the appropriate amount of time. May I recommend that we address them

00:42:56.735 --> 00:42:58.494
- together? Absolutely. OK.

00:42:58.594 --> 00:43:15.833
- and those forms will be attached to each ballot inside of the back. Okay. I am going to make a motion

00:43:15.833 --> 00:43:27.326
- that we accept the provisional ballots for voters number 46 and 47.

00:43:52.674 --> 00:44:07.753
- she has I will say those in favor all right so we are to mismatch signatures where is there significance

00:44:07.753 --> 00:44:11.774
- to the color coding in here

00:44:12.098 --> 00:44:19.560
- Yes, so the color coding, if they are matching, they are from the same household. So generally, it is

00:44:19.560 --> 00:44:26.949
- husband and wife or partners who signed each other's ballots in mistake. So they have corrected that

00:44:26.949 --> 00:44:34.484
- on a form and told us this is what had happened. OK. And you can see that on 48 and 49 by what it says

00:44:34.484 --> 00:44:38.654
- signed by pretty clearly. Yes. Right. So 48, 49, 51, 52.

00:44:41.282 --> 00:44:51.597
- And 53 and 57. Yeah. 55 and 56. But those two didn't cure there. So the 48, 49, 51, and 52 did return

00:44:51.597 --> 00:45:01.811
- their forms. So let's consider them together. You want to consider all of them too? Yeah. OK. So 48,

00:45:01.811 --> 00:45:09.598
- 49, 51, 52, 53, and 57 all cured. All cured. So I'm happy to do it that way?

00:45:10.146 --> 00:45:20.354
- If I didn't say the seal is intact and does match what's on your paperwork. And then I will hand you

00:45:20.354 --> 00:45:26.014
- all of the ones that have been cured that we discussed.

00:45:45.410 --> 00:46:12.638
- with apology. The ones I'm handing you are the yeses. Oh, I'm sorry. That's okay.

00:46:16.450 --> 00:46:30.193
- It's okay. So if you want to be sure that you have... Yeah, just checking names. Six. We have six, yes.

00:46:30.193 --> 00:46:43.539
- Do you have six? Do we have... She has two, two, and two more. Two more. And we have that signed by,

00:46:43.539 --> 00:46:45.918
- we have one, two,

00:46:46.050 --> 00:46:54.886
- Three, four, five. Okay, we have the six, seven, eight, it looks like. So that's 48, 49. Two of them

00:46:54.886 --> 00:47:03.897
- did not get cured, so. Correct. That one right there is the last one. So you are looking at. These are

00:47:03.897 --> 00:47:11.859
- the two that did not, so I'm gonna stick them right here for a month. Okay, these did not.

00:47:11.859 --> 00:47:15.358
- You have 51 and 52, and they are cured.

00:47:16.322 --> 00:47:42.110
- Yes. Okay, so fifth. That's the same signature. That's the same signature. These two are good.

00:47:47.010 --> 00:47:54.678
- In this case, the signature on the ballot is wrong, but the signature on the application and the form

00:47:54.678 --> 00:48:02.197
- are correct. I'm going to bring them back and give you the last two of the numbers here. Can I make

00:48:02.197 --> 00:48:09.790
- a motion? We haven't yet. We're about ready to do that, I think. So I am going to make a motion that

00:48:09.790 --> 00:48:16.030
- we accept the ballots of voter number 48 and 49, a married couple from Richland 3.

00:48:16.386 --> 00:48:24.453
- 51 and 52, a married couple from Richland 7. 53, a person who presented by themselves. I don't know

00:48:24.453 --> 00:48:32.762
- if they're married or not. Actually, it's 53 and 57 are together. 53 and 57 are together. Not together

00:48:32.762 --> 00:48:40.829
- on the sheet. I got it. I am rolling with you now. Good catch there. So those, 53 and 57, I'm going

00:48:40.829 --> 00:48:44.862
- to make a motion that we accept all six of those.

00:48:45.570 --> 00:48:53.922
- I will second. Those in favor? Aye. So just so we can mark our seats, we just took 48, 49, 51, 52, 53,

00:48:53.922 --> 00:49:02.356
- and 57. And gee, that's why the color coding matches, Connie. Thank you. You're welcome. It didn't take

00:49:02.356 --> 00:49:10.790
- me that long to finally tie all that when you told me that you knew. OK. And then we have two, in which

00:49:10.790 --> 00:49:13.790
- case the application and the ballots

00:49:14.082 --> 00:49:24.671
- still backwards and the form was not returned okay so you have two I have three that's the last five

00:49:24.671 --> 00:49:35.364
- so I have voter number 54 I have voter number 58 and I have voter number 50 yeah so this is 55 and 56

00:49:35.364 --> 00:49:43.646
- which again they these are signed by the wrong person and not cured so correct

00:49:44.546 --> 00:49:53.409
- The other three are signatures that don't match, so that's a different issue. I agree with that. So

00:49:53.409 --> 00:50:02.450
- let's go ahead and make a motion to reject 55 and 56 as not being cured. Second. Those in favor? Aye.

00:50:02.450 --> 00:50:11.934
- And then the last three are signatures that don't match the applications, so that's a different situation.

00:50:13.090 --> 00:50:29.134
- So this is 50. OK, so you have 50 sets back already? Yes. OK. All right, so let's take a look at these

00:50:29.134 --> 00:50:42.686
- guys. That's 50. This is? This is 50. Yes, the signature on the ballot does not match.

00:50:42.818 --> 00:50:50.686
- And that's the next number. This is 54.

00:51:21.186 --> 00:51:30.928
- I might argue that those actually do match, even though there's obviously issues with being able to

00:51:30.928 --> 00:51:40.670
- sign things. But this looks to me a great deal like that one. Well, these are old signatures in the

00:51:40.670 --> 00:51:49.438
- poll books. So it has to match that to that. And I would argue that this actually kind of

00:51:49.730 --> 00:52:01.752
- I would argue that you're correct. Dismatching this. I would agree with that. Which folder is that?

00:52:01.752 --> 00:52:14.134
- This one is right there. So voter number 54. And I could also argue that this is the case in this one.

00:52:14.134 --> 00:52:18.462
- The signature does not match older.

00:52:18.882 --> 00:52:27.717
- signatures but does match the one that they submitted. I'm sorry. However the question on this one is

00:52:27.717 --> 00:52:36.553
- that the application signature does not match the ballot and the old ones do but somebody else signed

00:52:36.553 --> 00:52:42.270
- the application so that one we have to reject. Kylie help me out.

00:52:42.370 --> 00:52:50.970
- Thank you, Kylie. On voter number 54, if we can just stop there for a pause for a second. It's the opposite

00:52:50.970 --> 00:52:59.013
- of what I said. The signatures are newer, and the signature on here matches the older signature. And

00:52:59.013 --> 00:53:07.214
- I said it the reverse. OK. So I'm going to, we've looked at this one. I'm going to move that we accept

00:53:07.214 --> 00:53:10.718
- 54. And I will second. Those in favor? Aye.

00:53:11.362 --> 00:53:20.859
- Okay, now tell me which voter. And I would move that we reject the other two, because in this case,

00:53:20.859 --> 00:53:30.641
- the application signature does not match the ballot or the older VRS, which means somebody else helped

00:53:30.641 --> 00:53:35.294
- them fill it out and did not sign the paperwork.

00:53:35.426 --> 00:53:43.767
- And that, unfortunately, would make this an invalid ballot. And let me be clear, 58. Yes. Okay, so you've

00:53:43.767 --> 00:53:51.714
- made a motion? I'll make the motion to reject 58. I will second. Those in favor? Aye. Unfortunately,

00:53:51.714 --> 00:53:59.818
- if you help somebody fill out a ballot application or whatever, you do need to fill out the paperwork.

00:53:59.818 --> 00:54:04.382
- The paperwork. I've done that. So all we have left is 50.

00:54:06.626 --> 00:54:16.244
- Oh, did we end with 50? I think we did have 50, and that one neither signature matches. OK, thank you.

00:54:16.244 --> 00:54:26.049
- I'm sorry. I didn't get that written down. So I will make the motion to reject 50 and 58. I will second.

00:54:26.049 --> 00:54:36.414
- Those in favor? Aye. OK. OK. We good? Everybody good? Yeah. All right. So the last four, this is travel board.

00:54:37.346 --> 00:54:46.222
- And my understanding is that this is a nursing home. And so they should not have been given provisionals.

00:54:46.222 --> 00:54:54.763
- They should have been given regular ballots. And when they went back to get the second signature, the

00:54:54.763 --> 00:55:03.053
- voter wasn't there. So doctor's appointment, grocery store, something like that. Correct? Yes. OK.

00:55:03.053 --> 00:55:06.654
- So on 59, 60, 61, and 62, the travel board

00:55:07.010 --> 00:55:16.692
- provisionals. The seal is intact. There should be four provisional ballots. I'm sorry. Yes. Provisional

00:55:16.692 --> 00:55:26.560
- ballots in there. And there are. And so absolutely nothing wrong with them being issued a regular ballot.

00:55:26.560 --> 00:55:36.894
- They just were not. So unless you have objections, I am going to make a motion that we accept the ballots for.

00:55:37.026 --> 00:56:06.750
- Voter number 59, 60, 61, and 62. I will second your motion. Okay, those in favor? Aye.

00:56:11.554 --> 00:56:19.633
- Well done, Mr. Chair. It is not even wanted. Thank you for allowing me to lean on your experience. I

00:56:19.633 --> 00:56:27.712
- appreciate that. And I would like to just say, Ashley. Oh, I can't do that yet? I wouldn't. I would,

00:56:27.712 --> 00:56:35.950
- yeah. So I'll calm for just a moment. We accepted 17 ballots. We're accepted. Can I address the board?

00:56:35.950 --> 00:56:37.950
- Sorry? Sure. Absolutely.

00:56:40.002 --> 00:56:49.008
- She was doing just a thing. You go ahead first, Fred. She wants to talk to us. Well, now I'm traumatized.

00:56:49.008 --> 00:56:57.588
- I was going to say how many we accepted, but I'm good. She said there's 12. Three on the first page.

00:56:57.588 --> 00:57:00.222
- Four, five, six, seven, eight.

00:57:11.586 --> 00:57:27.979
- let's go through these together want to okay we accepted voters one and two great and seven correct

00:57:27.979 --> 00:57:38.142
- correct all right the next one is voter number 18 yep correct

00:57:39.970 --> 00:57:56.838
- Okay. The next one that I see is voter number 31. Correct. Okay. The next one is voter number 39. Yep.

00:57:56.838 --> 00:58:07.646
- Okay. The next one is voter number 43 and 44. Correct. 45 and 46.

00:58:08.130 --> 00:58:19.290
- No, 45 was rejected. 45 was rejected. Wait a minute. 46 and 47 was accepted. Yeah. 45 was wrong. You're

00:58:19.290 --> 00:58:29.699
- correct. 46, 47. 46 and 47. OK. Now, 48 and 49, yes? Yes, yes. 51 and 52, yes. 53, yes. 54, yes.

00:58:29.699 --> 00:58:37.854
- And 57, yes. Correct? Yes. So under the mismatch signatures, there's seven.

00:58:39.042 --> 00:58:47.198
- Correct. And then to travel board, four. Right. Right. So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

00:58:47.198 --> 00:58:54.969
- eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Yeah. 21? Being heard at the same time.

00:58:54.969 --> 00:59:02.893
- Nice. I assume she then shreds these now, right? Good thing they have an account. No. I keep them. Oh,

00:59:02.893 --> 00:59:08.510
- you keep them then. That's why you have multiple eyes. Yeah, that's why.

00:59:08.834 --> 00:59:15.811
- Okay. Go ahead. Sorry, Mr. Chair. I apologize for the unprecedented chaos that I just created. But I

00:59:15.811 --> 00:59:22.787
- had a quick question from our last meeting, and this is the quickest way to address it. Question is,

00:59:22.787 --> 00:59:29.280
- there was a complaint that was tabled indefinitely. Yes. Unless the board objects, I do think

00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:36.257
- my recommendation is to send that candidate a copy of the complaint and indicate that it was tabled.

00:59:36.257 --> 00:59:38.398
- Does the board object to that?

00:59:38.594 --> 00:59:44.727
- I do not object to that at all. I will abstain because I was not the candidate at that meeting. The

00:59:44.727 --> 00:59:51.044
- person was not a candidate. There's not a candidate that's accused of something. The reason I'm asking

00:59:51.044 --> 00:59:57.361
- is because the media has requested the complaints that were referenced and I think we are to give them

00:59:57.361 --> 01:00:03.678
- to them and I don't want the person to read it in the paper first. So I think a courtesy letter saying

01:00:03.678 --> 01:00:08.094
- we received this, it's been tabled, will not be addressed at this time.

01:00:08.674 --> 01:00:16.493
- would be appropriate. I think that's very appropriate to me for them. I think the ones that are better

01:00:16.493 --> 01:00:24.160
- are being sent to the hearing should know and the ones that don't have to come to the hearing should

01:00:24.160 --> 01:00:32.283
- also know. And they should be aware that it was a complaint. Yes. Do they do we notify them if a complaint

01:00:32.283 --> 01:00:36.990
- is filed just by policy or do we wait till something happens?

01:00:38.594 --> 01:00:45.404
- We have never notified, we have never been in this situation to my knowledge where we've had a complaint

01:00:45.404 --> 01:00:51.890
- that's not been immediately addressed. Okay, I love plowing new ground. Okay, I'm with you on that.

01:00:51.890 --> 01:00:58.571
- I assumed that they had been notified just because that was what the policy, that's fine. I think that

01:00:58.571 --> 01:01:05.057
- would be a good policy going forward just to notify them so they don't get blindsided. Sorry, do we

01:01:05.057 --> 01:01:07.262
- do a motion? I heard you abstain.

01:01:07.458 --> 01:01:14.024
- But do we do a motion? Well, I can actually make a motion on that. I just I can't say anything about

01:01:14.024 --> 01:01:20.591
- what happened at the previous meeting because I wasn't there. But I am happy to say that in the idea

01:01:20.591 --> 01:01:27.222
- of transparency, it would be a good idea to notify people when we have been the way to do it. Yes. So

01:01:27.222 --> 01:01:33.984
- you are making a motion. I think one of you guys should. I will make the motion that we notify everyone

01:01:33.984 --> 01:01:35.934
- who was who was a complainant

01:01:36.290 --> 01:01:46.830
- or complain E. To whom a complaint was, about whom a complaint was registered. Where is AI when I need

01:01:46.830 --> 01:01:57.473
- it? I will second your motion. Those in favor? Aye. Aye. Sorry. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.

01:01:57.473 --> 01:02:02.590
- Thank you. So we are turning matters over to Bob.

01:02:04.738 --> 01:02:14.323
- for the provisionals that were accepted? Yes. Hi, Bob. How you doing, buddy? You're on, Bob. Miss Sam.

01:02:14.323 --> 01:02:23.907
- Sorry, Miss Sam. You passed that in a hurry. OK, get it. So what are we doing now? We're going to wait

01:02:23.907 --> 01:02:30.142
- until they go and do that and see if it does it. OK, I'm with you.

01:02:31.810 --> 01:02:41.237
- So we'll recess until? We'll recess until they are done, until Sam gets his face. Thank you very much.

01:02:41.237 --> 01:02:50.665
- We're currently recessed. I will call us back to order. I will announce that when the accepted ballots

01:02:50.665 --> 01:02:57.438
- are added, nothing has changed. And then I will make a motion to adjourn.

01:03:00.578 --> 01:03:08.170
- What district did you say I was? I can't remember. Is there a second to my motion to adjourn? Second.

01:03:08.170 --> 01:03:11.742
- Those in favor aye? Aye. Okay we are adjourned.
