Nevada secretary of state told to reduce copying fees

[NVMojo]

I don't know where this lady gets her energy from but any Dem in Nevada with a clue should be questioning this tight margin ...

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - A judge has ruled that Nevada Secretary of State Dean Heller must cut its page-copying fee from $1 to 50 cents - but the Reno woman who challenged the $1 fee said she'll appeal because the amount is still too high.

Carson City District Judge Bill Maddox said he was reluctant to interfere with Heller's office activities, but added he wasn't persuaded that the $1 fee was reasonable and based on actual costs for copying.

The order applies to copying fees for standard-size documents, and lets Heller's office increase copying fees if extra costs are incurred.

Patricia Axelrod, who challenged the $1 fee, said Tuesday she plans to appeal the ruling by Maddox because "I don't believe this is right. Every citizen should have free access to presidential election records."

1. I have a home printer that costs about $.01...

for each copy, including the cost of paper. What the hell is going on?

2. I talked to Patricia last week after she brought this issue up before

the Washoe County Dems and was promptly shut down. She was pretty outspoken about her questions on this. One of the speakers at the Dems meeting that night happened to be the Washoe County voters registrar, whom I think charged her less than .05 cents a copy ...She need to request from each county clerk's office in the state their final precinct totals and election totals and then get his final summaries to see if anything changed or to catch discrepancies. There are other questions about what happened to the undervotes(?) that were on his site right after the election and then changed.

Presonally, when someone plays games like this with the public AFTER THEY HAVE MADE A CASE FOR PUTTING VOTING MACHINES WITH PAPER TRAILS IN THE STATE BY 2006, they are hiding something ....

Remember this same SOS wanted to give the Green Party a couple of days or so to come up with over $300,000 to do a recount and made other unrealistic demands on them.
