Holyoke and Haxtun community members unite for election integrity

This year’s theme for the Haxtun Corn Festival was “Pulling Together,” and community members from both Holyoke and Haxtun found it a very fitting opportunity to debut a new collaboration between the two groups who have done just that to form a committee regarding election integrity. 

The group entered a float and manned a booth at the event over the weekend to spread the word of what they are all about. 

Following the last election, many people have taken an interest in the election process, namely the method of counting votes as well as the voter rolls. Concerned citizens of Phillips County have banded together to look deeper into election systems, to verify its security and help to make sure voter rolls are up to date, and so birthed the Phillips County Election Integrity Project. 

The new committee is co-chaired by Steven Brown of Holyoke, Todd Workman of Haxtun and Mike Brown of Holyoke.
