Commission Meeting July 5, 2010

The meeting was called to order by presiding chair Virginia (Ginna) Watson . The commission (Twila Brown, Republican, Alan Clark, Democrat) elected Ginna to the position of Chair. There was no evidence of George Hozendorf being present or having an emissary present in his place.

Old business conducted was the township of Fountain Lake scheduling an election to disincorporate a section of the incorporated township. It was decided that since only those who were residents of Fountain Lake could vote on the issue, a special election was more in keeping with verifying that only Fountain Lake residents voted in the election. If it was conducted at the General Election in November, so many special ballots would be in place that verifying only Fountain Lake residents voted for this, would make the election process slow, tedious and put additional pressure on the poll workers to ensure that the vote was valid. Fountain Lake will cover the costs of this election.

I asked why Ginna was conducting the meeting and she said she was told to.
After the meeting I asked again and she explained that the AEC and their attorney told her to hold the meeting pursuant to the rules of order. She had no comment on her law suit as her attorney has told her to not discuss it with anyone.

Stay tuned. It looks like George Hozendorf did not succeed in assuming Chairman of the Election Commission even after the Kangaroo court at the last GCDCC.
