Chairman Scurlock mentioned that several groups had <br />filed suit against the action of having new District lines. <br />Mrs. Richey interjected that the County should have had <br />a lobbyist in Tallahassee when this matter was being <br />discussed. <br />Commissioner Fletcher wondered if the County had a <br />choice at all in this action. <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that this was not a <br />discretionary matter; the County must follow along the lines <br />that have been set out for them. He continued that the <br />court does not have the ability to substitute that which the <br />Legislature has decided - a very high standard of proof <br />would have to be shown before the new District lines could <br />be disturbed. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt the Board needed to express its <br />displeasure in this matter. <br />Discussion ensued about what steps to follow next. <br />Mrs. Richey commented that she could obtain 12 used <br />voting machines at $175 each, for a total cost of '$2,100. <br />She then referred to the various expenses itemized in her <br />memo of May 26, 1982. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Wodtke, seconded by <br />Commissioner Lyons, that the Board approve a budget <br />amendment of $8,000 from the General Contingency Fund to the <br />Supervisor of Elections Account. <br />The Chairman called for the question. It was voted on <br />and carried with a vote of .4 to 1, -'with Commissioner <br />Fletcher voting in opposition. <br />JUN 21982 <br />WK 49 f* x`74 <br />
