Mr. Terry Bartness

And Terry Bartness, Park Rapids Schools Superintendent, actually went over and above the law to try to notify absentee voters - he just didn't do it soon enough for some of them to vote. What Happened.
...
Terry Bartness reported that state law requires a non-forwardable first-class mailing notifying voters of the election.He claims that it was sent by the school district on January 21st.
...
But, per Bartness's office, the law doesn't require the notices, returned with correct addresses, to be resent, and the school district did not resend them.Instead, because the required notice could not be forwarded, Bartness sent another mailing which was not required.
...
Bartness said that the school district's attorneys had determined that a notice had to be mailed to eligible voters at least 15 but not more than 30 days before the vote.This was done. Guesstimation - Would it have changed the outcome?
...
Brenda Kemp, secretary to Mr. Bartness, who handled the mailings for the school district, maintained that absentee ballots were usually sent out the same day that the application was received.
