As San Juan County heads into a controversial special election that could expand the size of the County Commission, the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah has identified a number of irregularities in the early voting process, including potential electioneering.
The allegations are likely to increase tensions over the election, which opponents see as an attempt to undermine the first majority-Navajo County Commission.
Last week, ACLU poll monitors at early voting locations discovered copies of a letter to the editor of the San Juan Record newspaper outlining support for Proposition 10, a ballot initiative that would form a study committee to recommend changes to San Juan County’s form of government.
