All
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
nay.
Thank
you.
The
motion
carries
4-0
and
if
you
wouldn't
mind
setting
that
one
aside
because
later
on,
when
we
talk
about
disapprovals
again,
I
don't
want
to
disapprove
that
one
again,
we've
disapproved
it
right.

And
came
to
our
brain,
our
brain
take
the
first
set
and
then
yeah.
B
A
B

A

D
A
When
we
did
this
in
2020,
you
know
I
can
go,
dig
out
old
meeting
minutes,
but
we
had
an
understanding
that
for
us
for
the
board
members
to
be
able
to
take
two
different
ballots
that
are
mismatched
and
decide:
they're.
Okay,
they
were
from
the
same
household.
They
had
the
same
address
you're
talking
about
something
that
deviates
from
them.
I
understand
what
you're
saying
about
the
witness,
but
I
am
very
uncomfortable
with
that,
because
it
is
a
departure
from
past
practice
and
I.
Think
it's
something
that
we
would
need
to
discuss
before
we
proceed.

A

A
The
the
Civ
numbers
are
a
function
of
when
the
ballot
was
requested
and
then
mailed
out
to
the
voter.
So
people
in
the
same
household
would
have
needed
to
submit
their
requests
like
the
same
time
and
they'd
have
to
be
processed
at
the
same
time.
To
get
that
those
consecutive
civs.
H
A
H
A
G
Right,
I,
just
Mr
chairman
I,
just
had
a
question,
shoot
I,
guess
I
understand
what
number
two
means
it
says:
show
matching
signatures
between
voters
and
Witnesses
for
a
third
party
Witness.
A
More
often
than
not,
when
we
get
ballots
from
the
same
household
on
the
first
envelope,
you
have
the
voter's
signature
and
then
a
couple
of
Witnesses
on
the
second
envelope.
You've
got
the
second
voter
that
first
voters,
usually
one
of
the
Witnesses
on
that
second
thing,
and
so
I
believe
what
we
were
doing
was
inspecting
the
envelopes
closely
to
assure
ourselves
that
yeah
everybody
was
together
at
the
same
time,
same
household
doing
this.
E
A
No,
as
Ms
block
noted,
it
could
be
roommates
yeah
and
certainly
in
this
County.
There
are
many
many
situations
where
people
without
the
same
surname
are
sharing
a
residence.
So.
A
A
A
J
B
is
is
for
absentee
by
mail,
so
I
just
wanna,
it's
very
semantics
there,
but
early
voting
gets
their
an
identifier
because
all
absentee
whether
it's
absentee
by
mail
or
in
person
absentee
has
to
be
retrievable
right.
So
all
early
voting
ballots
will
have
a
number-
it's
not
a
CIB
number,
but
it's
an
identifiable
number.
It's
a
One-Stop
number.
D
G
J
J
J
I
A
We
need
to
be
able
to
retrieve
absentee
by
mail
ballots
early
vote
ballots
in
case
we
find
that
the
person
who
cast
that
vote
was
ineligible
like
they
died
before
election
day.
We've
got
to
be
able
to
find
that
ballot
and
pull
it.
If
you
go
and
vote
on,
Election,
Day
and
you've
checked
in
at
the
check-in
table,
they've
found
you
on
the
on
the
roster
of
Voters.
For
that
Precinct
you
cast
your
ballot,
that's
it
can't
be
retrieved.
Your
ballot
can't
be
found,
but
you're
alive
you're
in
person.
We
we
know
who
you
are.
A
A
A
E
B
B
H
A
A
Board
right
right,
I
heard
that
in
the
introduction
yesterday
did
Mr
blacks,
get
a
copy
of
the.
A
D
D
D
E
D
D
D
B
B
B
D
B
B
I
A
H
H
D
H
D
C
F
G
I
B
B
E
J
B
Was
sealed
when
they
went
out
and
he's
talking
to
him
and
explaining?
He
already
had
one
witness
on
here
and
so
I
don't
know
if
he
wanted
the
Met
team
member
to
be
his
second
witness,
but
they
have
to
watch.
They
have
to
mark
the
ballot.
So
he
immediately
started
ripping
him
in
front
of
our
Matt
team
member.
G
I
H
I
I
G
G
F
F
G
My
point
is
this:
apparently
there's
no
question
about
the
voter's
intent,
but
the
procedure
by
which
the
vote
was
cast
is
so
irregular
and
out
of
kelter
and
I
know
it's
a
subjective
call
yeah.
G
About
it,
well
let
me
let
me
finish.
Well,
let
me
let
me
finish.
The
procedure
is
so
irregularly,
followed
that
it's
not
followed
at
all
and
it's
simply
better
and
look
the
witness.
Well
it
just
got.
You
know
it
was
sort
of
the
witness
signature.
The
witnessing
process
was
irregularly,
followed,
I,
mean
I,
think
there
comes
a
point
at
which
the
procedure
is
so
out
of
kilter.
It's
not
followed
at
all,
and
it's
better
just
have
a
have
another
shot
at
it
have
a
new
ballot
issued.
G
G
This
is
yet
more
of
a
deviation,
but
it
looks
okay,
so
it
gets
to
the
point
where
it's
almost
standardless
and
if
you
accept
that
ballot,
at
least
in
my
view,
your
your
your
you
make
the
per
you
make
the
procedure
for
reviewing
and
analyzing
these
things
very
nearly
standardless,
even
though
there's
apparently
no
question
as
to
what
the
voter's
intent
was
that
that's
my
points.
Steve.
F
Yeah
yeah
I
mean
it's
interesting,
I
think
in
this
case
it's
not
about
voter
intent,
but
they
intended
to
do.
But
what
did
they
do
and
the
question
is:
did
they
do
it
and-
and
you
make
a
battle
point,
is
it
at
some
point?
You
know
what
they
did
was
was
yeah.
It
becomes
impossible
to
discern
what
they
did.
F
I
look
at
that
one
I
think
that
a
he
may
have
done
it.
You
know
I
think
he
did.
He
did
what
what
it
costs
for
13.
What
he
intended
to
do
isn't
really
the
issue
at
that
point.
You
know
interpreting
the
ballot
you're
interpreting
the
procedure
did
he
do?
Did
he
if
he
follows
steps
out
of
order,
but
did
he
do
them,
but
hey
I
bet
yeah
I
mean
that
Point's
really
well
taken
I
mean
at
some
point
would
take
our
subjective,
Testament
and
say
it's
too
subjective
yeah.
G
A
All
right
we've
got
a
motion
before
the
board,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
to
accept
this
ballot.
Please
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
nay,
all
right.
Okay,
the
motion
carries
three
to
one
Mr
Schultz
dissenting.
A
Okay,
that
is
correct
and
I
want
you
to
know
the
reason
that
I
voted
for
approving
this
is
as
Mr
aceto
noted,
the
steps
were
followed
just
out
of
order
and
we'll
see
you
Linda
and
the
fact
that
a
mat
team
was
there
and
a
highly
trusted
agent,
as
as
a
member
was
the
second
witness
and
did
everything
he
could
to
help
that
voter
when
he
realized
the
voter
had
been
a
bit
rash
in
sealing
the
envelope
and
that
sort
of
thing
I
appreciate,
Matt
members
a
great
deal,
but
especially
those
who
understand
and
respect
the
processes
thoroughly.
A
A
Yes,
that
was
reported
to
the
board
the
reason
the
voter
pour.
A
A
A
B
D
A
My
expectation
that
the
mat
member
who
witnessed
it
brought
it
into
us
mats
are
empowered
to
deliver
the
absentee
ballots
because
we
know
they
aren't
harvesting
them,
they're,
simply
helping
voters
Express
their
their
choice.
Mr
Black
breakdown
on
the
disapproved
balance.
For
what
reasons
we
will
go
over
that
you
will
find
that
the
overwhelming
bulk
of
them
are
due
to
missing
signatures.
A
F
A
I
A
A
F
C
A
A
F
Well,
they
use
word
like
eggone
and
neutral
okay.
F
E
E
F
G
F
Don't
know
what
the
heck
you
know
when
does
it
start?
When
does
it
end?
I
mean
you
know
it's
over
when
it's
over
you
know,
but
so
yeah,
it's
a
good
conversation
about
it.
I'm
just
not
sure
what
I
said.
Okay.
F
D
F
A
F
A
F
F
A
A
That
way,
but
you're
you're
getting
questions
from
folks
who
are
looking
at
it
through
different
eyes.
Yeah.
A
F
F
E
F
Rome
is
Blasio,
and
then
you
know
and
they're
in
company,
which
is
Naples
and
kazertan
and
then
inside
those
there
are
what
they
call
communities.
F
And
that's
roughly
corresponds
to
it's
kind
of
like
a
county,
it's
more
like
a
county
in
Virginia,
because
cities
can
be
separate,
they
can
be
grown.
Yeah.
C
F
A
G
G
E
G
A
F
E
F
A
C
F
A
E
E
A
F
Got
to
figure
out
this
conversation
too,
they
said
which
one
which
system
do
you
think
is
better
and
is
Eric
ashamed,
because
they
can't
come
up
with
a
consistent
leadership
and.
F
C
F
You
know
they
had
people
who
who
ran
the
whole
wanted
to
run
the
whole
thing,
and
they
finally
got
enough
of
that.
You
know
they
had
popes,
they
had
Napoleon,
they
had
this
and
that
and
they
said
well,
that's
enough
and
after
Mussolini
they
were
really
finished.
So
they
came
up
with
this
system
like
there's
two
senates
okay
and
they
each
one
have
to
agree
on
everything
and
stuff.
So
so
nothing
ever
so.
It
seems
like
nothing
happens.
C
A
F
E
F
G
F
F
A
J
D
F
Prime
minutes
they
did
and
they
were
kind
of
distainful
because
they
felt
like
she
was
kind
of
a.
F
She
she
was
a
stand-in
for
salvini
and
berosconi,
and
that
would
be
the
other
pieces
of
the
of
the
Italian
right.
Oh.
G
E
F
Well,
that's
how
many
but
they're
you
know
some
difficulties,
I
think
some
of
it.
It
was
kind
of
misogynistic.
You
know
because
it's
a
woman
and
some
of
it
was
that
they,
the
part
of
Italy,
that
they
come
from
and
they're
they're,
basically
they're
Communists
and
they
renamed
their
Communist
party
and
they
call
it
the
Democratic
party.
Sorry
that's
what
they
did,
but
the
the
other
parties
down.
F
J
Was
but
that's.
F
It
appears
to
me
to
be
kind
of
spotty,
it's
hard
to
tell
and
like
some
parts
of
Northern
Italy
were
you
know
we're
just
overrun
by
the
Communist
party
and
by
the
fascists
and
the
fascists,
and
the
Communists
were
fighting
it
out
and
there
was
you
know
that
was
it
and
then
other
parts,
you
know
you
had
the
Social
Democrat
the
Christian
Christian
democrats,
which
was
more
of
a
center
right,
more
associated
with
the
Catholic
Church
and
in
the
what's
now
the
Democratic
party
party,
but
Martina
democratica
used
to
be
the
Communist
Party,
the
Italian
communist,
but
the
Italian
congress
party
wasn't,
like
you
know,
wasn't
part
of
a
common
current.
F
G
F
Yes,
there
is
that's
the
what
do
they
call
it?
Alto
Althea!
It's
it's
a
chunk
of
the
Alps
that
well
in
fact,
that
didn't
come
in
until
the
first
World,
War
and
and
the
street
names
and
the
city
names
are
still
German,
Oh
They'll
have
bugs
yeah
and
but
that
actually,
that
influence
came
all
the
way
down
into
Milan
and
away
further.
F
So
they
said
the
rough
distribution
was.
It
was
stuff
that
came
out
of
a
that
was
whatever
I
hope
that
was
more
German
than
you
had
French
Duca
Savoy,
where
the
the
bald
engines
come
from
and
that's
French,
and
then
you
had
what
the
pope
still
had,
that
he
was
still
passing
around,
which
just
kind
of
sprinkled
around
the
middle
and
then
down
below.
F
Below
where
Naples
is,
you
know
that
was
Napoleon
ended
up
with
that,
and
then
he
gave
it
to
his
brother
and
then
you
had
the
independent
states
that
you
read
about
like
Venice
and
Florence
and
Ibiza,
and
they
would
kind
of
squabble
on
each
other.
F
So
all
that's
just
like
they
say
it's
spotty,
it's
all
sprinkled
around,
but
yeah
I
went
to
Florence
and
the
town,
the
the
Communist
had
a
March,
and
there
were
the
red
flags.
Yeah
yeah
and
the
same
thing
in
in
the
center
square
is
which
is
a
big
industrial
city.
You
know
they
had
their
red
flags
out
and
bologna.
A
Place
you
would
see
Communists
and
bologna
as
well
yeah.
F
Yeah
I
think
yeah,
that's
right!
That
would
have
been
another
red
spot,
yeah
the
they
were.
They
were
up.
I
went
to
the
city
of
Fresco,
which
was
up
in
the
north.
It's
where
the
shotguns
come
from,
and
the
trucks
and
stuff
like
that
and
it's
industrial,
so
there's
a
big
labor,
Moon,
big,
communist
and
big,
and
that
but
and
they
were
also
they
fascist
and
so
those
two
you
know
they're
still
kind
of
ain't
going
out.
So
they
did
when.
E
F
C
I
F
G
F
A
To
follow
up
on
Mr
blacks,
I
think
it
was
Mr
Black's
inquiry,
my
bad
Ms
brains
about
the
distribution
of
the
disapprovals
I
guessed
about
18.
due
to
witness
info
incomplete.
That
was
a
correct
guess.
A
A
A
A
Yeah
we
have
18
disapproved
due
to
witness
information
incomplete.
A
A
A
C
A
B
C
B
E
A
F
E
A
Because
of
okay-
let's
just
say
witness
info
and
complete.
D
A
So
is
it
time
out
time
out
time
out
time
out?
Okay,
AK,
you're
gonna
need
to
listen
to
this
because
I
uttered
an
incorrect
number
earlier.
Okay,
okay,
I
was
so
proud
of
myself
of
having
guessed
18..
No,
it
was
17..
A
I
F
E
A
Before
and
and
I
reported
results
to
my
colleagues
and
to
our
visitors
that
were
incorrect,
I
counted
this
I
thought
I.
Did
it
accurately
I
did
it
more
than
once
so
I
did
it
wrong
more
than
once,
I
thought
there
were
17
instances
on
this
report
where
it
said
witness
info
incomplete,
plus
the
other
one
that
we
added
it.
It
wasn't
18,
plus
one
it
was
17
plus
one.
My
bad.
A
So
we
did
disapprove
those
24
I
guess
one
of
them
was
disapproved
twice.
A
A
A
That
that
we
reviewed
and
and
found
compliant
and
that
are
being
tabulated
well
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
the
734
absentee
ballots,
please
say:
aye
aye
aye,
all

Thank
you.
The

I
forgot,
so
we
had

I
mean
734
right.

All
those
in
favor
of
emotions,
all
those
opposed,
nay
I,
don't
know
how
many
eye
votes
we
had,
but
there
were
no
neigh
votes.
I
saw
you.
That
means
three.
We
had
three
okay,
good
I
didn't
know
if
anyone
was
abstained.

This
will
be
sealed,
we'll
sign
the
the
document
on
the
top
of
it
after
it's
sealed,
or
it
will
be
affixed
to
this
after
we
sign
it
so
Ms
Austin.
If
you
would
proceed
with
the
sealing
process,.
A
A
I,
don't
know
I
I
really
don't
know
what
to
expect,
because
in
2020
I
mean
we
would
do
that.
Many
and
seriously.
A
I
think
we
can
get
it
done
in
a
day,
but
then
I
didn't
think
we
were
going
to
meet
today.
So
we'll
see
right
now
we're
keeping
it
on
the
calendar
for
safety
sake,
because
the
fact
is
we
might
have
more
than
a
thousand
next
week.
I
mean
we
just
don't
know
the
staff
is
coming
up
with
some.
A
J
F
But
this
this
is
very
American,
can't
come
up
here
and
the
next
day
we
come
up
and
then
there's
another
way
to
do
it
and
it
just
disseminates
itself
away
and
the
rest
of
the
world
does
not
do
it
like
that.
The
rest
of
the
world
there's
a
big
dog
and
then
there's
little
dogs,
and
you
don't
tell
the
big
dog
how
to
do
it
differently,
and-
and
here
we
just
you,
don't
even
you
don't
even
think
about
it,
you
just
everybody
just
kind
of
flows
and
well,
let's
do
it.
This
is
better.
A
G
A
I
I'm
not
a
sort
of
compliment,
I'm
an
old-fashioned
and
I
subscribe
to
the
hard
copy
of
the
paper.
There's
a
letter
to
the
editor
in
today's
Citizen
Times
from
a
voter
who,
who
voted
absentee
right,
voted
absentee
by
mail,
and
there
was
some
issue
with
it.
If.
A
I'm
not
saying
North
Carolina,
maybe
you
know
other
states
other
countries,
but
in
other
jurisdictions
they
didn't
necessarily
think
they'd
get
that
kind
of
treatment,
and
they
were
very,
very
happy
with
the
customer
service
that
they
were
getting
here
in
Buncombe,
County
and
just
I'm
so
proud
of
our
staff.
But
it's
just
that
that
reinforcement
and
I'm
really
glad
we're
members
of
the
public.
Do
it
because
folks
need
to
know
how
dedicated
our
staff
is
to
making
this
process
work?
Well,
thanks
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention
Glenda,
it's
a
great
letter.
A
To
do
it
all
over
again,
so
and
and
the
rejection
experience
was
positive
for
that
voter,
the
voter
understood,
oh
right,
there's
rules
got
to
be
followed.
You
got
to
follow
all
of
them.
I
missed
this
one
they're
giving
me
a
do-over,
it's
fantastic
and
they
were
being
a
given
a
do-over
with
a
smile
I
mean
that
would
the
interaction
that
the
voter
had
with
staff
was
what
was
key
because
it
was
strongly
positive.
A
Is
there
any
more?
Is
there
any
more
stuff
we
got
to
sign?
Is
there
any
more
stuff
we
got
to
think
about
talking
about
no
okay
adjourned,
we'll
see
y'all
next
Tuesday.
Please.
