Jean Curtiss's Full "Not My Job" Speech Transcribed Online

by: Matt Singer

Sun Jan 10, 2010 at 16:28:33 PM MST


Keila Szpaller has shared Jean Curtiss's full comments regarding polling place closures. They end far more humorously than they open and I recommend checking them out for yourself.

Commissioner Curtiss goes out of her way to complain that a proposal in the 2009 legislative session to pilot vote-by-mail elections didn't make it out of committee. She doesn't say why it didn't come out of committee. On a tie vote, a number of legislators were concerned by the refusal of county governments to support amendments advanced by voting groups. Additionally, American Indian legislators strongly opposed the measure because of honest concerns regarding postal systems on Montana reservations.

Having government officials take so little responsibility and point the finger at constituents so much is extremely frustrating.

It's been my (0.00 / 0)
experience that election officials in Montana...that would be county clerks and recorders for the most part...are constantly trying to discourage voter participation through their actions...whether its lobbying to purge names from voter lists, opposing same day registration,  or closing polling places...

It is absolutely wrong...and pathetic...when the chief election officials in the county are saying we don't want you to vote because it creates more work for me...

This is one of those very important elected positions that is often overlooked....


stupidity, arrogance and incompetence (0.00 / 0)
make a very bad combination in elected officials.

people who excel at making excuses are usually well practiced at it for a reason.
