Below is Shirley Anderson's response to the Hernando Times:
Shirley Anderson
Republican Candidate for Supervisor of Elections
Needless to say Hernando County was stunned by the endorsement of politics as usual in the Supervisor of Elections Office. From what your paper has written about the current supervisor most people clearly expected a different endorsement. In an editorial earlier this year this paper wrote: “Unaware or unconcerned. There is no other way to accurately characterize Supervisor of Elections Annie Williams mailing out almost 432 incorrect absentee ballots, and then her blasé reaction to an entirely avoidable error.”
This was not the first, second or third mistake by the current Supervisor. Supervisors in neighboring counties have been mailing under the not for profit permit for years, not blaming the post office for their waste. The current supervisor admits to using 2003 maps, but blames the Planning Department for not updating her. During the 2006 election dispute between Rose Rocco and Nancy Robinson, the current supervisor said she, “doesn’t police the ballot.” One wonders what does she do?
Shirley Anderson is running so that voters have a real choice in this election. Shirley Anderson wants to restore faith and trust into our elections office. In these tough economic times we need someone that will be responsible with our tax dollars. Shirley believes that voters deserve better and are worthy of a ballot without mistakes. Shirley Anderson will not make excuses or blame others for the conduct of her office.
We all know if you keep endorsing the same candidate you can expect more of the same flawed elections – with more mistakes, more errors and more excuses. It is time for change in the Supervisor of Elections office and Shirley Anderson will bring that change.
