Long “letters to the editor” don’t tend to interest me. I usually read the first sentence or paragraph and I am done. Not so with this letter, please consider reading at least the first and last paragraph. It pretty much tells you who and what Theresa Manzella is.
It appears she tries her best to pit people against one another, it might be called divide and conquer. In her effort to have ballots hand counted, her purpose seems to be to convince voters there is something wrong with the ballot count. Sort of like “throwing a skunk in the jury box.” The reason maybe she wants people to believe her falsehood so that they decide not to exercise their right to vote.
Many politicians who present an argument quote the facts that are relevant to the issue. Ask yourself, does Manzella do that? If not, why not? Could it be facts do not support her arguments?
You decide, and in the process think about things like the importance of issues Manzella seems to be twisting. Let the County Commissioners know that you do not want them to waste taxpayer money on hand counting ballots. Then I hope you will be able to safely exercise your right to vote by having your choices tabulated by a voting machine.

Right on Margaret! At the meeting on Feb 23rd any “facts” that were presented by her lackeys were tropes, tears, and tripe!
