K.C.'S JUST BIASED ON MARIJUANA

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the editor's note at the end of Dan
Hamburg's well-written letter.

After reading What KC meadows had to say about voter registrations, I
had to do some investigating myself. What she wrote led me to believe
that she knew exactly how certain people who registered were voting on
Measure B. How did she get that information? Or was she assuming? So I
made a few phone calls and educated myself, and now I will educate you
readers. All votes are private. In order to register to vote one must
present a valid identification, thus preventing vote replication. All
citizens may vote, you don't have to have a permanent address, you can
use the community center address for example, with permission, (this
allows persons whom are homeless to vote, which is their right) and it
is not illegal for multiple persons to use the same address. The
information that KC used was gained illegally from someone on the Yes
on B campaign. The No on B campaign may have urged people to register
to vote (which is not unusual), but it is up to the County Registrar
of voters to determine if the information on the registration form is
correct and then notify that person by mail that they qualify to vote
and tell them where their voting district is etc. There is no fraud in
this action. The no on B campaign should not be held responsible if
anyone did anything inappropriate. The sign stealing was interesting.
But, when you think about it, people who were no on B were afraid to
put signs up for fear of retribution, persecution.

This whole issue of Marijuana will not be solved anytime soon. The
focus should be on our community as a whole. There are a lot of bad
things way worse than marijuana happening out there, gangs, meth etc.

Really what is happening here is that KC Meadows is using the Ukiah
Daily Journal for her personal political agenda. Did anyone notice
that throughout the Measure B campaign most editorials against measure
B were printed with her rebuttal at the bottom. Personal editorials
are just that and don't require the editor's personal opinion. She
never even called the registrar's office to confirm her incorrect
information. What kind of journalist uses heresay to support her
argument? Also a note of interest, has anyone checked out if there
were any irregularities in the yes on B voter registrations? There
must be some. Our last presidential election was not exempt from fraud
in the voting machines. So much so that our president was appointed
instead of being elected. What makes Mendocino county any different
from the rest of the world. We are all human beings and being thus we
are less than perfect.

Editor's note: Nowhere in anything I have written do I claim to know
how anyone voted. It actually is legal for me to have the voter
registration information for the research that I did. In fact, I got
most of my voter registration information from the California
Secretary of State's office, because, yes I did ask them and the
County Clerk's office refused to give me access to the list. The most
recent registrations that were missing from that database I got from a
No on B campaign activist who was also concerned about voter
registration activity during the campaign.
