The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly will likely vote on whether or not to pass a resolution to hand count ballots in the Nov. 8 election at Tuesday’s regular assembly meeting.
for two assembly seats and five school board seats on Tuesday, Nov. 8. One of the assembly members who moved to amend the resolution was Stephanie Nowers of District 2.
“What I’m proposing is a measure that we could do year after year without costing the taxpayers, you know, a ton of money,” Nowers said. “That would allow us to verify the elections and make sure that all the votes are counted.”suggests three precincts be picked at random for hand counting, as opposed to the entire borough.
Taxpayer costs aside, Nowers is also concerned about overwhelming the borough’s clerk — who is already tasked with counting absentee ballots. Nowers is worried that over-tasking borough employees might open opportunities for other errors to occur. “The other advantage of doing three precincts is it’ll take much less time,” Nowers said. “I don’t want to see errors introduced into our system by stretching our election officials too thin.”If passed, borough Mayor Edna DeVries does have the power to veto.
