For those that profess concern for the integrity of our local elections, and with some logical slight of hand conflate their concerns with early voting, I ask the following: Can you produce statistics proving there is a problem with the way voting is currently conducted, and what is the extra cost, if any, to the taxpayers of Chatham to have a two week +/- window of voting opportunity? Perhaps then we can have a discussion based upon a clearly defined issue (if there is one) and people can judge for themselves how they wish to proceed.
