The 2014 annual town meeting held eleven electronic votes: one at the first session May 27, six at the second session May 29 and four at the third and final session June 2. Only two of those from the last session appear in town meeting records on the Brookline municipal Web site. The other votes were on motions to refer Article 26, seeking to repeal sale of taxi medallions, and to refer Article 29, supporting “independent” local businesses.
Because records of the votes were collected by elected officials at a public meeting and used for a public purpose, they are public records under state laws and regulations. Copies were requested on June 11 and were supplied by Patrick Ward, the town clerk, on June 16. Mr. Ward sent a spreadsheet file with all eleven of the electronic votes.
Referral votes: Looking over the votes suggests that the two referral motions won because a majority of the town meeting members saw some merit to the corresponding articles but doubted there was enough support for them to pass. Both articles attracted strong opposition and sounded likely to lose an up-or-down vote.
John Harris of Precinct 8, who submitted Article 26 seeking to repeal sale of taxi medallions, voted to refer it to a moderator’s committee. If Mr. Harris thought he could win an up-or-down vote, he would surely have opposed referral.
Article 29, asking for support of “independent” local businesses, was submitted by a coalition of business owners spoken for by Abram “Abe” Faber, co-owner of the popular Clear Flour Bakery on Thorndike St. Some town meeting members said they found Mr. Faber’s approach exclusionary. Referring his article drew notable support from nearby precincts and from Precinct 5–perhaps a kind of consolation prize.
Uncertain votes: The file sent by Mr. Ward contained another mismatch with individual votes previously found on the Brookline municipal Web site. A vote on Article 32 from a Precinct 13 town meeting member changed from No to Yes, for a total of five votes that differ according to the source of data. The others were on the Driscoll School feasibility study, under Article 8, from Precinct 4 town meeting members.
Those might be “political” issues. Town meeting members sometimes find themselves recorded one way and later want to present their views differently. Records on the Web site do not say when or how individual votes changed. If one lacked copies of the records available at different times, those changes would be invisible.
Discrepancies in totals: There are several discrepancies between totals found by adding votes in the computer records and totals declared at town meeting by the moderator, Edward “Sandy” Gadsby. Totals for five of the eleven electronic votes differ from ones declared at town meeting sessions, by margins of one to three votes.
The uncertain votes do not explain the differences, so the discrepancies may represent “technical” issues. Mr. Gadsby found it necessary to repeat one vote and to call out corrections for two others. Those votes did not produce discrepancies. Problems occurred with eight out of eleven electronic votes. Of those, Mr. Gadsby was able to catch three at town meeting. The others remain lodged in Brookline’s records.
None of the discrepancies was large enough to affect an action at the recent town meeting. That may be luck. Close votes at past town meetings could have been clouded. At a town meeting in 1972, for example, the late Sumner Kaplan–a former chair of the Board of Selectmen, state representative and district judge–proposed to combine the police and fire departments into a public safety department. The controversial proposal failed on a tie vote. A single-vote discrepancy could have clouded that result.
Technology: The current system appears to continue responding to voting changes after a vote is supposed to be over. The system fails to provide a clear signal saying when it has finished tabulating a vote. Brookline has many lawyers and executives but few design engineers. The 2012 committee that configured electronic voting lacked relevant expertise. It tended to accept system performance claims without thorough investigations and to discount the values of security measures and of direct feedback to town meeting members about how their votes are being recorded.
After practice with the current system at three previous town meetings, at the 2014 annual town meeting the technology failed to provide precise, reliable results for more than two-thirds of the electronic votes. Mr. Gadsby was able to detect and correct some problems, but he missed a majority of them. The electronic voting system needs to go back to the shop, to straighten out obvious kinks. It’s not ready for prime time.
Policy: If Brookline had a reliable electronic voting system, allowing town meeting members to change recorded positions after a vote has been declared would be a highly dubious practice. It opens an avenue into allowing town meeting results to become clouded after a town meeting is over, introducing potentials for protracted disputes or lawsuits over close votes.
