Why Has A Non-Certified Person Been Allowed To Access Voting Machines During Elections?

At the un-publicized, meeting of the Giles Election Commission today two very important questions were asked by the newest addition to the commission. First question was why hasn't the organized group who oppose the charter been required to file a financial disclosure statement with the election office and why didn't the election director know that group was putting up signs around the county when she has to walk past one of those signs to get to her office every day and again every evening when she leaves that office?

Another question that was asked is why has an uncertified person been allowed to have access to the voting machines prior to the vote count being documented? With this taking place how can any vote be trusted?

This was not asked at the meeting but I am asking it now, why has the county attorney and other county resources been allowed to be used by the group opposed to the charter?

The integrity of local elections has long been questionable and now this situation only increases the suspicion of tainted results.
