Apparently, Frances Howard had five ladies filling out these letters and trying to determine the precincts for each individual. Packy is guessing they looked at the map incorrectly sometimes when addressing these letters. j STEERING COMMITTEE Robert M.

Huron lewood, CO 0 :?J d ~ eNGLEWOOD CITIZENS FOR THE CoMMUNITY CENTER I have examined the proposal for an Engl~d c.omrunity Center and have decided it is a much needed and beneficial project for the Engl~od comnunity. For many years, we have discussed and studied the needs and Ylailts of the ccmrunity in this respect and the answer has always indicated the desirability of a cormn..mity center. Now is our chance to rove out and do it! Please support the carmunity center with a 11yes11 vote on May 17th. Your precinct polling place is ~54 ; · .2'11./f .4. ~ //~ Let's Do It! ... May 17 5/17/83 A Mr. Ferland called. He was upset because he went to ~polling place where he thought he should go which was Clayton School and of course could not vote be- cause it was the wrong place. He should have gone to the Adk Building on South Bannock, but did not check this out until he called here. He feels the person bepind the precinct lines was put up to pur- posely foul up people on this issue. He feels he has always gort the run around on where to vote. He stated he read ~h e paper and it.was Clay ton School, but still did not double check with us. He is upset because for every eld ction -state, county , etc. is disturbing. He suspects fraud and is going to report the matter to the District Attorney.

In the letter we were instructed that our Precinct Pollin9 Place was the Duncan School located at 4800 So. Penn. St. When we 9ot there, our names were not on the votin9 list and when we told the Poll workers that we lived in the 4500 block of So. Grant St., the~ said that we should vote ~t the Cherrel~n School., our normal votin9 Place. We went there and \• 1Crti:;·cJ" We had a relative with us and told her that we would take her to her normal votin9 Place.

What is 9oin9 on in En91.ewood7 It seems that voters are bein9 mixed uP as to where the~ are to vote and PerhaPs because or this man~ will 9ive uP and not vote. Wh~ not have the PeoPle vote in their normal voti~9 Places? Wh~ were we misled about our Pol1in9 Place?
