Many voters across our nation have expressed concern about the influence on elections by county officials who have a political bias that could affect the ballot box. I am proud to know that here in Comal county we have a person in charge of the election who is fair, unbiased and one we can be confident in, Joy Streater, County Clerk. I had occasion to be involved in a problem with an absentee ballot that was inadvertently marked as “indefinitely out of country” which meant the voter could only vote for national candidates. When this was brought to Ms. Streater’s attention, she took the time and effort to contact the Secretary of State to resolve the problem and get a full ballot sent back to the individual. I think this shows the dedication and commitment of our office of elections.
I am less confident in our electronic voting machines. Like all things electronic, they can have problems and errors. It is important for every voter to carefully indicate the candidate of their choice and see that the correct choice is indicated. When all selections are made, be sure to check the review screen before hitting the “VOTE” button. When in a hurry to return to work, haste could result in an error -vote.
As has always been the case, you can trust those who have earned your confidence, but a machine can never be trusted.
