“It has just been brought to my attention that paving is happening to the Police Department parking lot today, while early voting is taking place. I was unaware that this was happening today and reached out to the Department head, who advised me that it will be finished today so as not be an issue for the next 9 days of voting. While I am not happy about it, he explained he did not expect it would be a problem because the lot is around the back of the building. I trust his explanation, as many were surprised to see such a long line on the 1st day. I also reject any claim that this was done intentionally or as an attempt at voter suppression. Mistakes happen and hopefully we learn from them.”
