Scott County Myth Breakers on TV

In Scott County we delivered the booklet to auditor Karen Fitzsimmons at noon. When we arrived, she was already being interviewed by Channel 8 news. The 5 of us also got interviewed, and there will be 2 different segments at 5 and 6 pm. I talked to the Quad-City Times yesterday, and so did our auditor, so hopefully they will have an article tomorrow.

Karen knows all about the different voting systems and their pros and cons. But there were stories in “Myth Breakers for Election Officials” that even she had not heard before, and she appreciated having all the information in one place.

We all like the optical scan machines currently in use in Scott County. It warmed my heart when Karen said she would never purchase touch-screen voting machines. As long as Karen Fitzsimmons is our auditor, Scott County voters can be sure our tax dollars will be wisely spent and every effort will be made to have every vote count.
