We will have more in Sunday’s print edition of The Owego Pennysaver Press.
The 2 machines at the Apalachin Methodists Church had troubles. Jamming ballots and not counting votes.
Would have been more no votes for prop 2 if there was an actual discussion to what it would do. Especially sinc this is a farming community and prop 2 will hurt our already struggling farmers. All it does is give power to Albany over NY’s air and water.
Thank you for the support
