County Clerk decides to keep expanded precinct at Guthrie

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

Callaway County Clerk Denise Hubbard said Monday she has decided not to reverse her earlier decision merging the Round Prairie and Guthrie voting precincts at Guthrie.

Hubbard said her decision was based on improved accessibility to handicapped voters and to savings of up to $2,000 per election, an $18,000 savings spread over four years.

Hubbard said since her decision several voters had contacted the County Clerk’s office both in favor of keeping the combined voting location at the Guthrie Community Church and in favor of moving it to the Carrington Baptist Church.

Improved accessibility for handicapped voters - it was proved to her that the Carrington Baptist church is handicapped accessible
$2000 savings per election - I beleive this number is highly inflated, would like to see in print how she came up with it.
Can not believe any voter in the Carrington precinct called to agree with her. The ones that called were probably someone not affected by the move.
It has been stated in this paper and by many of the Carrington voters that Mrs. Hubbard has said they can come to the courthouse to vote absentee. We do not have early voting in Missouri. To absentee vote you have to have a reason. There are six available reason and "I don't want to drive to my precinct" is not one of them. Doesn't this constitute fraud on the part of Mrs. Hubbard. Something she made a point of saying at the meeting that she had gotten rid of.

I think you may be mistaken on #4. I have voted early in the past and not been asked why.
