WORDS MEAN SOMETHING, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Take a moment to think about what makes our Country great  today Think about what unifies us as a nation rather than focusing on what divides us.

Hopefully the address from our President tonight will be "Presidential" and not political

May God bless America and all who live here

ELECTION'S ENFORCEMENT RULES HARTFORD REGISTRAR BROKE LAW , FINED BY COMMISSION

The State of Connecticut Elections Enforcement Commission has ruled on a complaint filed by Hartford residents. The complaint was essentially filed by two persons who claim they were "illegally" locked out of observing the absentee ballot count after a Hartford Town Committee election last year.

The SEEC ruled in the complainant's favor that the Democratic Registrar of Voters Giselle  "Gigi" Feliciano as well as her Absentee Ballot Moderator Martin A. Jones , violated Connecticut State law when they locked Anne Goshdigian and Thomas Swarr out of the room where Absentee Ballots were being counted.

In their ruling the commission also expressed concern over the integrity and confidence of the public in the vote count that was created created by the lack of transparency. They also seemed to express concern over a Police Report which seemed to be used to create a false narrative that the two complainants may have been "disruptive" to the process, which was apparently untrue.

Feliciano and Jones were fined  $750.00  which will be reduced to $500.00 if they successfully attend and complete a retraining course. It is unusual for the Commission to assess Civil Penalties in most cases unless the violations are considered serious.

The full decision is below, the Order for Civil Penalties is on the last page.
