(munjoyhillnews.com applauds this contract implemented by Secretary Bellows’ office last week. As those who follow national politics as does this blogger, is well aware of the efforts of right wing wierdos, under the direction of Head Wierdo Donald J. Trump, to alter election returns in many states – such as Georgia and Arizona to name just two of them. Hopefully, this technilogy implemented here in Maine will make that manipulation of election returns not possible – going a long way toward preserving our democracy.)
