Amy Arundell's caucus issued a press release today filled with lies. She is taking a page directly out of the Trump Campaign strategy, even her caucus’s name has a certain MAGA ring to it.
Here are the FACTS around in person voting.
FACT: While Amy Arundell was our Union’s Chair of the Election Committee, IN-PERSON VOTING WAS ALLOWED.
FACT: While Amy Arundell was Election Chair, if a member voted in person, that vote overrode their mail-in ballot.
FACT: While Amy Arundell was Election Chair members were only allowed to vote in person only if Amy Arundell approved it.

FACT: In March, Amy Arundell’s attorney demands our Union end in -person voting or she will sue our Union.
