I received an email this morning from Pat Raffee, Chief Deputy for Kootenai County Clerk Cliff Hayes. In response to my question about erroneous information posted on the City of Coeur d’Alene’s webpage, she reaffirmed that absentee in-person voting for the City of Coeur d’Alene’s 2011 General Election will be available only at the Kootenai County Elections Office.
The City of Coeur d’Alene’s website has a button titled “City Info.” Under that button is a link to a webpage titled “Election Info.” Readers following that link end up on a webpage titled “City Election Information,” and on that page is a link “General Election 2011.” That link contains incorrect information stating that absentee in-person voting will be available at both Coeur d’Alene City Hall and the Kootenai County Elections Office. Presumably the City will correct the inaccuracy on its webpage.
For additional information, see Pulling the Plug on Satellites posted August 22, 2011.
The Nickel’s Worth has wrong information, too.

Gary,
Did the Nickel’s Worth information have attribution?

I don’t know if the city ever checks its own website, Bill, other than the main page. It was months and months after Dixie Reid was gone that her photo and bio were still under the city council info.
Maybe Cliff’s office needs to call them.

Accuracy is not high on the City’s checklist.

Whew!!! Sure glad you said ‘presume’ instead of ‘assume’.
