That way, mummy-dummies can't be put in as voting PCs at the last minute.Carlos F.

I don't know of any way of fixing the problems with slating so that party leaders don't try to come in and rig the votes. They've been doing it for decades.<br /><br />What people don't understand is that Marion County is virtually the only place in the country that employs slating. Most people think this practice is common. It is most assuredly not.Paul K.
