The three polling districts are stated in the Warning. At 6:55 P.M. the Town Clerk warned that the polls would close in 5 minutes. At 7:00 P.M. the polls were declared closed.

Ballot summaries were compiled by the Town Clerk and evening election workers. Upon completion of the count, all voted ballots were sealed in boxes. All unvoted ballots, tabulators with sealed memory packs, printouts, tally sheets and district supply boxes were returned to the Town Clerk’s office.

    Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State

    Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State July 28, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell Senator Charles E. Schumer Senator Richard C. Shelby Senator Patrick J. Leahy Senator Roy Blunt Senator Amy Klobuchar Dear Senators: As Secretaries of State of both major political parties who oversee the election systems of our respective states, we write in strong support of additional federal funding to enable the smooth and safe administration of elections in 2020. The stakes are high. And time is short. The COVID-19 pandemic is testing our democracy. A number of states have faced challenges during recent primary elections. Local administrators were sometimes overwhelmed by logistical problems such as huge volumes of last-minute absentee ballot applications, unexpected shortages of poll workers, and difficulty of procuring and distributing supplies. As we anticipate significantly higher voter turnout in the November General Election, we believe those kinds of problems could be even larger. The challenge we face is to ensure that voters and our election workers can safely participate in the election process. While none of us knows what the world will look like on November 3rd, the most responsible posture is to hope for the best and plan for the worst. The plans in each of our states depend on adequate resources. While we are truly grateful for the resources that Congress made available in the CARES Act for election administration, more funding is critical. Current funding levels help to offset, but do not cover, the unexpectedly high costs that state and local governments face in trying to administer safe and secure elections this year.

Denise Merrill, CT Eastern Region Vice President of State, election directors and other important stakeholders to address misinformation and disinformation on your platforms related to the Hon. Tre Hargett, TN elections process. We believe significant progress has been made to Southern Region Vice President understand and address these issues. As we move into 2019 and the 2020 Hon. Jay Ashcroft, MO general election, we urge Facebook to further engage on the following Midwestern Region Vice President issues: Hon. Alex Padilla, CA Western Region Vice President First, the elections community faced many challenges as a result of Facebook’s use of a non-government, third-party site to prompt Hon. Al Jaeger, ND Member-at-Large (NPA) users to register to vote. We instead encourage Facebook to either connect directly to the chief state election webpages, state online voter Hon. Matt Dunlap, ME registration system webpages, and/or vote.gov. These government- Member -at-Large (ACR) backed websites will provide accurate information to the public, eliminating confusion and frustration in the voter registration process. As we have previously discussed, in the 2018 midterm election cycle, a non- government, third-party site failed to properly notify users of incomplete voter registration applications initiated through their site.

    SW21:018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 16, 2021 CONTACT: SOS Press Office (916) 653-6575 California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber Statement on Signing Bipartisan Letter to CISA Secretary Mayorkas and Acting Director Wales SACRAMENTO, CA – California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber issued the following statement on signing the letter to Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requesting an expansion of federal efforts to combat foreign disinformation. "Democracy exists because we have free and fair elections, and we must protect those elections at all costs. In 2020, our local and state election officials worked tirelessly to combat the spread of mis- and disinformation perpetuated by foreign actors seeking to diminish trust in our elections." "Without CISA's leadership combating this threat at the federal level, we would not be able to call the 2020 General Election the most secure in our nation's history. For this reason, I gladly join my bipartisan colleagues in calling on CISA not only to continue this vital work but expand its efforts to combat the ongoing threat of foreign interference in our elections." The complete letter can be accessed here and is co-signed by Kevin Meyer, Alaska Lt. Governor; Jena Griswold, Colorado Secretary of State; Shenna Bellows, Maine Secretary of State; William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State; Maggie Toulouse Oliver, New Mexico Secretary of State; Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State; Nellie Gorbea, Rhode Island Secretary of State; Jim Condos, Vermont Secretary of State, and Kim Wyman, Washington Secretary of State.

    Campaign Contributions from the Corrections Corporation of America

    James M. Jeffords Center’s Vermont Legislative Research Service 3 Campaign Contributions from the Corrections Corporation of America The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) is a private corrections management industry that was founded in 1983. CCA specializes in the “design, construction, expansion and management of prisons, jails, and detention facilities, as well as inmate transportation services” and has become the “private corrections provider of choice” for both federal and state agencies.1 CCA currently houses 75,000 detainees in over 60 facilities throughout the nation and partners with the three federal corrections agencies (the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the US Marshals Services, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement).2 CCA is the fifth largest corrections system in the nation (behind the three federal corrections agencies and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation).3 CCA has also been prevalent in political elections, making campaign contributions to nominees who may support stricter prison policies, enabling CCA to stay in business.4 The National Influence of CCA CCA is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a conservative lobby group that is based in Washington DC and is specifically invested in criminal justice discussions.5 1 Corrections Corporation of America, “About CCA,” CCA, accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cca.com/about. 2 Corrections Corporation of America, “About CCA,” CCA, accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cca.com/about. 3 Office of Research, “Population Reports,” California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation accessed November 9, 2011, http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Reports_Research/Offender_Information_Services_Branch/Population_Reports.html 4 Harvey Silvergate and Kyle Smeallie, “Freedom Watch: Jailhouse Bloc,” The Boston Phoenix, December 9, 2008, accessed November 9, 2011, http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/73092‐Freedom‐watch‐Jailhouse‐ bloc/?page=3#TOPCONTENT.
