Board members press for election records after court found initial vote tainted by fraud
Summary
Members pressed the board for copies of first- and second-election tallies, sign-in sheets and the vendor contract after a court recognized fraud in the first election and ordered a new one; staff said records would be made available on request.
Members opened the meeting by asking for records tied to two recent association elections after a judge determined fraud affected the first vote and allowed a second election to proceed. A committee member summarized recent work on that inquiry and urged that “any information that is available is available to you.”
The board and community members described the steps taken: the vendor overseeing the second election required a fiduciary and the association held four election days to broaden access. A long-time member said the judge’s finding of fraud is documented in the court case and that the community had been invited to review collected evidence, including tallies, sign-in sheets and correspondence with the vendor. One resident asked specifically for “the contract with election buddy.”
Why it matters: the exchange shows continuing distrust around governance and voting integrity in the association, and members requested a formal channel for obtaining historical records. The board indicated on the record that records compiled by the election vendor and the fiduciary would be made available to members who submit a documents request.
Quote: “We were deliberately trying to the 2nd election due to the fraud in the 1st election,” a board member said.
What’s next: Members were told to submit formal document requests for specific items; the board stated it will provide records to members who ask.
