Here are some comments on the Checklists now posted on the website:

Chief Judge  9/7/14
----- -----

   Page 1:  Under major bullet 10:  Will there really be a pink list?  I
            thought pink lists had been eliminated (although temporarily
            resurrected in July because of the unusual circumstances for
            that election).  All the pink list processing has been
            removed from the rest of the current documentation, as far
            as I can see.

   Page 1:  I still think the two bullets for oath administration are
            wrong.  The oath sheet isn't really set up for the double
            oath administration specified, which seems flaky anyway.
            The procedure I have used is to read the oath to all the
            precinct officials and then have everyone sign, including
            me.  If that isn't considered adequate, I sure would like to
            hear a legal explanation.  Having all hear the oath and then
            sign the form would seem to cover what is needed.  I also
            think it would be good to resume publishing the oath in the
            general manual to give everyone a good chance to read and
            absorb it, rather than just hearing it read to them at the
            polling place.  Then have the BOE strongly and publicly go
            after anyone found to violate the oath.  The double bullet
            technique smacks of just going thru the motions rather than
            being serious about this.

   Page 3:  "Instruct each precinct official sign the Pay Sheet."
            "Instruct each precinct official to sign the Pay Sheet."

   Page 7:  Is it still appropriate to put all the other checklists in
            the CJ binder?  That was the previous answer I was given,
            but that item wasn't added in the current update.  Maybe in
            the page 6 bullet where all the position checklists are
            reviewed, add that the checklists should then be put in the
            CJ binder.


Voter Assistance  9/7/14
----- ----------

   Page 1:  The "blindness" bullet was removed from the last box on the
            left (covered by "physical disability"?), but was left in
            the last box on the right, which also lists "physical
            disability".


All Officials  9/7/14
--- ---------

   Page 2:  I had raised a question some time ago if it was really
            proper to lower the AutoMark touch screen and close the
            covers BEFORE powering off the system.  I never got an
            answer and the order of steps was not changed.  It the
            current order correct?
