(62,325 posts)shocked at the number of cameras on the road. My MIL told me she had already paid twice for speeding tickets she got because of the cameras. I was with her when she got her third ticket. She was maybe, five miles over the limit. I told her to fight it. But she didn't want the hassle, so she paid. Then I read in the local papers that people were very upset over that system. We were in Prescott btw. I did wonder if it wasn't a great way to make money though. Thanks for the update on that, it is some good news.
Totally agree with your last sentence.
It has occurred to me since posting this thread that if the residents CAN vote without worrying, they do not need to use the recall system. It seems that suppressing the vote, with warrants, by holding elections at strange times, they were manipulating the vote which is why they definitely need some Federal oversight. This IS a Federal issue.
From what I've learned, their next election is in April. That is enough time to get something done to remove the obstacles to voting imo. And it seems this is where the focus should be right now.
Thanks for the information .... hopefully some much needed action will be taken now to ensure a different outcome in their next election.
