WELCOME BACK TO OZARKS FOX A.M.
WHERE EXCITED BECAUSE SHANE IS
HERE AND WE HAVE AN UPCOMING
ELECTION AND PEOPLE ARE
CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT TO DO WE
HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FROM OUR
VIEWERS THIS MORNING.
HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF
MAIL-IN BALLOTS AND FOR US
OLD-FASHIONED FOLKS IF WE WANT
TO GO TO THE POLLS, CAN WE JUST
GO VOTE?
ABSOLUTELY.
IF YOU WANT TO COME ON ELECTION
DAY WE WILL BE OPEN FROM 6 AM
TO 7 PM.
ARE YOU TAKING SPECIAL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS?
WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT
GOING BACK TO MARCH.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOCIAL
DISTANCE MARKERS.
PLEXIGLAS SHIELDS.
THEY WILL BE PROTECTED BETWEEN
THE JUDGE IN THE VOTER AND WE
ARE CLEANING VOTING SURFACES.
WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE
CLEANING ALL DAY CLEANING THE
DOORS AND WE HAVE PINS AT THE
VOTER WILL USE THEY WILL BE
SANITIZED.
CAN I TELL YOU THAT I AM OLD
SCHOOL I ENJOY THE PROCESS OF
DRIVING THEIR FILLING OUT MY
BALLOT I FEEL LIKE I AM DOING
MY PART SO I ENJOY THE PROCESS.
OUR CREW ON DAYBREAK DID A
STORY ABOUT THE VOLUNTEERS WHO
SIT THERE AND CHECK YOU IN AND
A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT TYPICALLY
DO THAT ARE SENIOR CITIZENS AND
THEIR HIGHER RISK FOR COVID-19.
HOW DOES SOMEONE VOLUNTEER?
THEY CAN GO TO GREENE COUNTY
MODE.GOV AND JUST TYPE IN
GREENE COUNTY ELECTION JUDGE
AND THAT SHOULD TAKE YOU THERE
ON GOOGLE AND JUST APPLY AND
EVERY ELECTION WE NEED ELECTION
JUDGES SO WE APPRECIATE PEOPLE
WHEN THEY STEP UP AND DO THAT.
SPINRITE DID YOU KNOW THAT WAS
CALLED ELECTION JUDGE?
I WOULD DO IT FOR THE TITLE
ALONE.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GOING
TO GET OUR QUESTIONS UP BUT
RANDY GARDNER SAID ARE POLLING
PLACES GOING TO BE OPEN?
WE WILL GO TO THE NEXT ONE.
BRIAN SAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO
TUNE IN TO MY WORK SCHEDULE BUT
THE PUSH TO
IT WILL BE AN ISSUE IF THE
STATE WENT TO ALL VOTE BY MAIL
BUT HERE IN MISSOURI IT'S BY
REQUEST SOLIS WE HAVE A
TECHNICAL ISSUE WE WILL HAVE
THOSE RESULTS POSTED ON
ELECTION NIGHT.
LESLIE SAID HOW DO VOTERS
CONFIRM THEIR VOTERS HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED?
WE ARE WORKING ON A BALLOT
TRACKING SYSTEM THAT WE DON'T
HAVE COMPLETE YET.
I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S READY
TO GO YET BUT WE ARE WORKING ON
THAT CALL 868 4060 OR EMAIL US.
I'D LIKE THERE'S A WAY TO
MAKE SURE BRAID LIKE IF YOU
WOULD EMAIL A CHECK OR CASH TO
SOMEONE FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY WHAT
TO MAKE SURE IT GETS THERE.
PEOPLE ARE WORKING HARD
GROUP DOMINE BIPARTISAN
FASHION
THIS IS ASKING REGINA HAD
MEYER GILES SAID MY SON FROM
COLLEGE WILL BE HOME THE FIRST
AND SECOND.
I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK.
WE WILL BE AT THE ELECTION
CENTER SO YOUR SON WILL BE ABLE
TO COME IN AND CAST A BALLOT.
THE NEXT QUESTION I HEAR THAT
MY VOTING STATUS CAN BE RESET
WILL I NEED TO CHANGE MY STATUS
IN ORDER TO VOTE A REPUBLICAN
TICKET AND IF SO, WHY WAS IT
RESET TO DEMOCRAT?
YOU DON'T REGISTER IN OUR
STATE SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOUR PARTY IS.
WE HAD IN AUGUST OR MARCH
SOMETHING HE SAW ON FACEBOOK OR
SOMETHING
THAT WAS CONCERNING.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING CALL
OUR OFFICE OR EMAIL US.
THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION
OUT THERE.
IT'S DIFFERENT IN EVERY
STATE.
THAT'S PART OF THE ISSUE.
I WANT YOU TO GIVE YOUR
VIEWPOINT.
THERE IS SOME FALSE INFORMATION
GOING AROUND WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
SOMEONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE
VOTING SYSTEM?
AS I SAID WE HAVE BEEN DOING
SOME ABSENTEE VOTE BY MAIL.
WE WILL HAVE TO SCALE IT UP BUT
IT'S DONE WITH BIPARTISAN TEAMS
SUBLIMINALLY GET A MAIL-IN
BALLOT BACK WE'RE GOING TO
CHECK TO MAKE THE ADDRESSES
CORRECT AND AFTER THAT THE
BIPARTISAN TEAMS IF THERE IS A
QUESTION ABOUT THE SIGNATURE
THEY MAKE THE DECISION WE ARE
GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
BALLOT IS COUNTED PROPERLY.
WHAT IS THE PRIORITY?
WE HAVE THINGS THEY NEED TO GET
TO PEOPLE WHAT ABOUT THIS THING
WHERE PEOPLE SAY I AM RECEIVING
THE WRONG MAIL.
OR I GET MY NEIGHBORS MAILER
THINGS DON'T HAPPEN RIGHT .
AND AGAIN, THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT COULD BE A CHALLENGE.
WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE I DROVE
HOME TO VOTE BUT SOME PEOPLE
HAVE TO IF THAT HAPPENS YOU
SHOULD CONTACT THE POSTAL
SERVICE CALL THE OFFICE WE WILL
CERTAINLY TRY TO HELP WITH THAT
ISSUE.
YOU SAID IT'S DONE IN A
BIPARTISAN WAY HOW CAN PEOPLE
BE SURE THAT THAT BALLOT COMES
IN AND SAYS MICKEY MOUSE.
WHAT IS THE CONFIRMATION
PROCESS WHAT IS THAT LIKE TO
VERIFY?
YOU FILL OUT YOUR VOTER
REGISTRATION FORM WE KEEP THE
INFORMATION ON FILE.
WE CAPTURE THAT WE PUT THAT ON
FILE.
THAT'S WHAT'S USED TO VERIFY
THE BALLOT ON THEIR BEHALF.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE DONE
TO MAKE SURE THAT BALLOT IS
SECURE.
IF SOMEONE HAS PASSED AWAY
AFTER THEY VOTED OR BEFOREHAND?
IN STATES WHERE THEY WENT TO
VOTE BY MAIL IF THEY ARE
MAILING IN 2 VOTERS NOT ACTIVE
THAT CAN BE A REAL ISSUE HERE
IN OUR STATE IF SOMEONE WOULD
REQUEST A BALLOT ON SOMEONE WHO
IS DECEASED WE WILL DO A NUMBER
OF THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT
BALLOT WAS NOT FILLED OUT BY
THE VOTER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
TIME.
YOU HAVE SET OUR MINDS AT
EASE IN MISSOURI GETS 2 GIANT
THUMBS UP FOR DOING IT RIGHT.
WE WILL HAVE BIG BROTHER
