November 7, 1973
The Election Corrunission of the City of Englewood met in the
office of the Director of Finance at 3:00 P.M., November 7, 1973,
The following members were present:
Mary Lou Newport, Clyde Mitchell, Karl Nollenberger,
The purpose of the meeting was to certify the election results
of the previous evening . Director of Finance Nollenberger stated that
the election results reported on Tuesday night were in error for the
following reasons in the following precincts.
Precinct Nos. 10 and 12 -The returns for Werner Schnackenberg
and Bruce Anderson were reversed.
People's Ordinance No. 1 -Precinct No. 5 -The against vote
was 10 votes short of the actual.
Municipal Judge race -The Judge's total was 20 votes short.
Mr. Nollenberger stated that the reversal of the votes in the
Councilmanic race had changed the outcome from that which had been made
public on Tuesday night. The reason for the error was that the election
judges, in reading the back of the voting machine which goes consecutively
from 1A through 7A did not relate those numbers to the front of the machine
but rather related them to a sample ballot which was in the order of lA,
2A, 3A, 4A, 6A, 5A, 7A. As a result of this, 6A, which actually related to
Mr. Schnackenberg, was given to Mr. Anderson, and vice versa for the 5A.
Director of Finance Nollenberger stated that this in no way
affected the validity of the elections, since the voting machine was
correct in the way it was listed.
Newport moved and Mitchell seconded the motion to certify the
results of the election as stated on the Abstract of Voters and the official
Englewood election book. Upon the call of the roll, the vote resulted as
follows:
Ayes: Newport, Mitchell, Nollenberger.
Nays: None
The meeting was adjourned at 3:25 P.M.
