I was a poll watcher at Niles North. I had no problem getting into the school or presenting my credentials. Considering I was asked to poll watch at 9pm the previous evening. Fortunately, my wife was at our Republican township headquarters and was able to bring my credentials home with her. The adult judges were mentoring the student judges. Everything was above board. 12 people voted at North and 0 people voted at West. They did not put out the 100 foot electioneering mark, because I was told that the school would not allow electioneering. Although they did host a candidate forum with Biss and Ellision. There was an issue with the scanner and one ballot had to be spoiled. The adult judges said there was little communication with downtown in preparing these events and they were notified about 10 days ago. I talked with one of the assistant principals and made the point that because of all the secrecy and lack of transparency, it gives one a sense of impropriety and that something akin to ballot stuffing was planned. These events should be announced in advance and published on the election board's website. The school did promote the event through their internal communications and the turnout was very low. The candidate forum ended after the polls closed, so there wasn't any rush from the students and staff to vote.
