georgetown circle    The results are in, and the winners have been announced in the Georgetown elections of Mayor and Town Council held yesterday.

Below are the results, I am sure that all of the participants would like to thank all who came out to vote, for their time and effort to take part in our greatest freedom. The freedom to choose those who represent us.

I would like to give a special “job well done” to David Anderson and his team.  This was Mr. Anderson’s first run for elected office, and along with his wife and friends, he was able to deliver a message that resonated with the voters of Georgetown. I am sure they all have sore feet and knuckles from knocking doors, because that is where races are won and lost in Sussex County, on the front door steps of the voters.

Integrity of Voting Process
Vitally Important

By Sen. Colin Bonini

Voting is arguably our most precious right.  Making sure that the voting process is accessible, fair and secure is one of the most important duties we as lawmakers have.  Before the Delaware State Senate is a piece of legislation that in my opinion could significantly undermine both the security and fairness of our elections here in Delaware.   The legislation, House Bill 105, would allow for the registration and voting of previously unregistered potential voters on the same day as an election. What level of identification will be required to register and vote on Election Day? A photo ID, a passport, maybe a Social Security card or a birth certificate? Nope. Anyone, a resident of another state or district, a current felon, or someone who has already voted somewhere else could simply walk up to a polling place, show a piece of mail such as a utility bill with a name on it and vote, whether or not they are actually legally allowed to vote in that election.  I’m not making this up: no photo ID of any kind is required and no proof will be required that it’s even your mail!   Again, all I need to vote will be a piece of mail and I won’t be required to even prove it’s my mail.   I asked a computer-savvy colleague how long it would take him to make a fake utility bill that would fool election officials.
