ARGUMENT
and
since the council is not authorized to re-count the ballots, they should not
open the ballot box nor handle the ballots in any way. The council is not a
recount board according to and as described in SDCL 9-13-27.3,
"... Upon receipt of a recount request, the finance officer shall set the time
and place for the recount. A recount board shall be established consisting of
one person chosen by each candidate declared elected and by each
candidate who is eligible to request a recount. If this board consists of an
even number of persons, one additional recount board member shall be
appointed by the finance officer who shall be mutually agreeable to each
candidate involved in the recount. The person having custody of the ballot
boxes containing the ballots to be recounted shall deliver them to the
recount board. Any question arising on the recount shall be determined by
majority vote of the recount board. The recount shall proceed expeditiously
until completed..."
Exhibit C1, C2 and C3 show no visible notary seal, the Absentee Ballot
Application is filled out by Wanda Halverson, Alcester City Finance Office
Employee as messenger. Applications C1, C2 and C3 BOX 5 appear to have been
X'd by someone other than the applicant. Applications C3 and C2 "Care Center",
Box 3 appears to have been filled in by Wanda Halverson, Alcester City Finance
Office Employee noting the similarity of Ms. Halverson's handwriting at the
bottom of the application.
Wanda Halverson was instructed by Alcester City Finance Officer Patricia
Jurrens to go to the nursing home to collect the ballots on election day prior to 3:00
p.m. I was sitting in the atrium of the Alcester City Auditorium watching the
polling process and over-heard those instructions.
During the April 15, 2019, special meeting, I was video-taping the meeting
which recorded the opening of the ballot box in violation of statute.

While the video sound might be less than perfect, the pictures are definitely
worth more than 1000 words under oath.
