Summary
During public comment, Jacqueline Cansler said the use of the voting machine is unlawful and "goes against the Indiana Constitution," questioned whether commissioners had read the constitution, and said notices to commissioners had not been answered; the minutes record no formal response from the board.
During the public-comment period, Jacqueline Cansler addressed the commissioners and asserted that "the use of voting machine is unlawful and goes against the Indiana Constitution." She questioned whether the commissioners had read the Indiana Constitution they swore to uphold and said notices given to the commissioners had not been answered; she also stated the commissioners "have given information to the attorney" and observed that the county commissioners and county council do not share the same attorney, as recorded in the minutes.
The minutes record Ms. Cansler's remarks but do not include any formal response or legal analysis from the commissioners or county counsel. Her allegations were not accompanied by citations to specific statutes or court decisions in the meeting record, and the board took no formal action on the claim during the session.
