Vancouver resident Ann Donnelly also states ‘There is another major priority – finding out who carried out that very significant attack’

Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com

I have been following the story of the attack on the ballot box, and now the comments of Auditor Kimsey and Councilor Bowerman and others. 

I would advise that our energies now go into making sure cameras are added to the ballot boxes and tested prior to the next election, which will itself be a challenge. Vendors, costs, processes, and sources of funds must all be researched. So the sooner we all work together the better. 

There is another major priority – finding out who carried out that very significant attack. We need to know who, why, and with what external backing. If the FBI already knows, I would argue that we need to know also. 

It is not unheard of in recent history for the FBI to be slow to release important information based on political influence. Could the authorities, such as Council Chair Bowerman, request the FBI to share their information at the earliest time? Where are they on their investigation?
