WTIU coverage of satellite voting rally
WTIU covered our rally at the Courthouse yesterday in support of satellite voting centers in Monroe County.
“It seems like a significant enough community issue that raising the issue, having a dialogue in the community and seeing that there is real interest in satellite voting could change some opinions,” Dietz said.
Bloomington State Representative Matt Pierce said satellite voting helps alleviate some problems brought on by the crunch of Election Day.
“And what I’ve determined from studying our election system is the 12-hour, one-day voting process is pressure-packed,” he said. “You have to be perfect for that entire day. You have to count on everyone being trained to perfectly understand one of the most complicated election laws in the country. And it just doesn’t happen.”
