anxiously awaiting the results of
the investigation promised. Many
Of us have been disappointed so
nany times in the past, that we
bow wonder if an honest effort
will be made to arrive at the
truth. In the distant past, when
the county had election officials
who were above board in exercis
ing their duties as officials, we
very eeMom had a complaint. Now
when, the County Board of Elec
tions has a meeting to select and
name offic als lor uie com in
elections, they seem to have fixed
the method of operation m a man
ner to suit themselves, disregard
ing the nrocedure as set out by
the State election laws, which, if
adhered to as written, would still
give the majority of the Board an
unfair advantage. For instance, in
the selection of the one Republi
can judge, the law says the Board
"may" select the one voice tne
minority party has from a list of
names presented by the chairman
of said minority party instead
of "must" make such selections.
Now the Board chairman and
his colleagues are not satisfied with
this advantage but according to
allegations by the Republican
county chairman, must have their
official meeting without giving
notice of such meeting in ample
time before hand and finally must
.hold their meeting behind locked
doors according to a report made
to Mr. Joslin, the State chairman,
who is reported to have said the
law requires these meetings to be
open.
If this is true, then the election
law has been violated in this re
spect. This violation together witn
lack of proper notice being given,
should warrant action against
the election officials in charge and
they should be required to call
another meeting and instructed to
abide by the law.
In the newspaper article men
tioned, the State chairman is re
norted to have said: "Even if
Briggs had made his recommenda
tions to board in tone, I don t
think it would have made any dif
ference."
Just what did this mean? Per
haps he has heard so much about
Madison County's election board
operations that he knows what to
expect
Madison is a very widely known
county politically. In the past
our election returns have shown1
more absentee ballots counted than
the larger counties of the State
even though we are noe of the
smallest in the State. Another

county that has this distinction is
Yancey. This should bring to your
memory that when the last Legis
lature (most of the Representa
tives) were working so hard for
reforms in the Absentee Ballot
Law, Madison's and Yancey's rep
resentatives worked day and night
against these reforms.
Since some corrections were
made they cannot be effective un
less those voters who are inter
ested in a clean up of our elec
tions attend the public meetings
where the list of absentee voters
is, according to the new law, re
quired to be made public for in
spection. If this procedure is fol
lowed, we stand a good' chance to
get the names of some long de
Darted voters and very likely some
of those who have departed this
life, eliminated.
