I emailed the following to Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner today, August 22, 2008.Hello,
I witnessed many Provisional Voters about to leave the precincts on March 4, 2008 without Provisional Voter Hotline Notices. I redirected them back to get their Notices.
I believe distributing these Notices in advance of the November 2008 Presidential and General Election would help mitigate damage.
I do not have money to print them if and when you post the notices.
Could you post the official Provisional Voter Hotline Notices on the SOS website? It would be great to have a downloadable and printable form in THREE PLACES on your website namely:
-Provisional Voting
-Absentee Voting
-Election Publications in BOTH HARD COPY PAPER BROCHURES for people who DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS as well as online in the titles above.
This morning, in person, I asked Sally Krisel, Director of the Hamilton County Ohio BOE for multiple copies of the Notice the county was using. She said she could give me only one. I ended up not taking the single copy of the Notice and I explained I don't have the funds to print or xerox multiples. I told her I would request that you help me. I told Sally I was aware that many Provisional Voters hadn't received the Notices on our March 4, 2008 Ohio Presidential Primary Election until I redirected them back to their poll workers.
These Notices need to be easily assessable for public consumption on the street well in advance.
If you are willing to assist me, please put 50 copies in the mail to me or please arrange with Sally Krisel for me to come and pick them up in person.
Sincerely,
Jane Schiff
