Wake County Board of Education Elections

Interesting article in today's News and Observer: "Wake Voters Should Check Districts." 

Tomorrow is the election in Wake County for the board of elections. The problem is that board of elections districts have been redrawn to reflect results of the 2010 census. Usually, the Board of Elections would have sent voter cards to registered voters notifying them of their new districts.

The Wake County Board of Elections asked the Board of Commissioners to appropriate sufficient funds to do the mail out, but the County Commissioners declined.

Part of the problem is that there would have to be another mailing, in any event, after redistricting is completed for state offices and the US Congress. No one knows how long that will take.

So many Wake County voters may show up tomorrow at the wrong polling place.

Fortunately, we have no such problems in Pamlico County.
