States Attorney Race

Joe,

Just received my voting info from the elections office and guess what they did to  Matts. Last name. They spelled it MADARELLO.What a blunder for him.I would be highly pissed. This is what we have working in the election fields now.
No proof reading anywhere. Thought I would drop you a note. He's my choice any way its spelled. I guess a lotta notes have been sent by now.

It may be a legal issue. If an official "document" is sent out from the election office and is in error, it would seem that they would have to amend the error by re-sending the notices to all county voters. The Election Office, to be fair, rarely makes blunders like this.

That isn't nearly as bad as what happened in Illinois. In one Chicago precent (predominently African-American), an Independent Candidate by the name of Rich Whitney had his name misspelled as "Rich Whitey." Just in that one precent, and only on the verification screen on the electronic ballot. Talk about something prejudicial!

Not mine, it is spelled right. Are you sure it did not run together? The c and i to make a d?

I think that the reader needs to get an eye exam. The c and i are quite close so that they may look like a d. Admittedly, the print could be a mite larger, though the Bd. of Elections had to fit a lot on the page, what with about 25 candidates plus the questions.

Please just take a look at SM's record. As a public defender all he did was try to get the scum bags off. Is this the guy we want looking out for the unfortunate victims of crime in our county???? His dad was a great man who looked out for the young folks of Salibury I don't know what happen to SM. FYI Seth to show I know you better that you think you dad liked his Scotch and Milk he said you would never get and ulcer from that. God Bless our WW11 VETS.
