A fair amount of brain research shows humans reach conclusions and then amass evidence to justify the decision. The Gallatin County Commission appears to be trying to prove this research in an explanation of the proposal to close polling places:Murdock said while folks may be resistant to the change initially, the move would help streamline the election process and save the county money.
"The world's changed in Gallatin County," Murdock said Tuesday. "Instead of 28,000 people, we have 100,000 people. It would have cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars to make [all the non-compliant polling places] ADA-compatible." There are lots of ways to streamline democracy. Few of them create more or better democracy. As for the ADA, it has been on the books for 20 years and most of the buildings in question are required to be ADA compliant regardless of whether they serve as polling locations.
Sigh...
Not that Missoula is faring much better. Jean Curtiss is very enthusiastically explaining what her job ain't in this morning's Missoulian. Success for Missoula County's elections office would apparently be 3 voters with no allegations of fraud. Good to know.
Update -- And this is statement is like a line from a John Toole Kennedy novel: "The biggest problem is people are having a problem understanding what the problem is," she said. Sigh... |
