Certain customers are always
providing opportunities for additional sales. Hamilton County,
TN is one such customer. No reflection on Cathi
Smothers.
In the March 2000 election a ballot
box was delivered to a volunteer fire department on Friday.
Over the weekend the firehouse was used for a party. Needing a
trash container, a volunteer fireman cut the top
lock off the box and used it for a trash bin.
In the recent August 3rd Primary, a
ballot box was delivered to a precinct that was locked. The
ballot box was left outside a Goodwill store next to the
precinct. Not knowing what it was the workers at the Goodwill
store tried to sell the box over the weekend. After no buyers
they had the box along with other scrap items thrown into the
crusher on Monday morning. One of the ladies that worked at
the store recognized the box while voting and confessed to the
disappearance of the missing ballot box.
At this rate, Hamilton will replace
all their ballot boxes over the next several years. All
replacements are sold at full market value.
