RESOLUTION NO. 38-93
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA,
EXPRESSING ITS STRONG OBJECTIONS TO THE
COMPUTER/CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEM OF REPORTING
ELECTION RESULTS AS UTILIZED IN THE CITY' S
GENERAL ELECTION HELD ON MARCH 9, 1993 BY JANE
CARROLL, SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS OF BROWARD
COUNTY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
t
WHEREAS, the election results for the 1993 general election
were accomplished with computer printouts transmitted by cable
i
television of such poor quality that the same were illegible
due to the distortion and size of the names and numbers; and,
because of the extremely short period of time the blurred
information remained on the viewing screen, accurate figures could
not be recorded even with a separate person assigned to attempt to
read the results of the one candidate assigned to him or her. The
rnenit was mass confusion and aggravation which would not have
existed if the Supervisor of Elections and her staff had performed
this most important part of their duties and obligations to the
people whom they serve.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA: I

i
to the citizens of Dania and request that proper steps be taken by
