More on Election Commission Problems

Our friend, blogger Steve Ross, also a candidate for Shelby County Board of Commissioners, continues his public service reporting on the troubling issues at the Shelby County Election Commission.

His investigation has spotlighted problems and priorities that require the Election Commission’s immediate attention.

We posted a commentary by him last week, and he continues to break the news about problems with early voting at his Vibinc blog.

Earlier this week, he received media coverage for pointing out that 1,019 wrong ballots had been given out to voters.  Learn more about that by reading “How These Voters Were Identified.”

Subsequently, he has posted this, “Cha, Cha, Changes …#Wrong Ballot #Vote Shelby.”

Mr. Ross sets a high standard for all of us who aspire to serve this community with our blogging and he has underscored that role with his coverage of the Election Commission

This ongoing series of photographs is intended to show the daily lives of these single mothers in order to invoke recognition of their similarities to all mothers, along with understanding and empathy from the viewer of the strengths that these single mothers possess within the challenging situations they face. My hope is that newfound empathy with these mothers’ lives will give people some pause before they condemn single mothers when discussing issues such as welfare and other politically charged hot buttons.
