THE FEBRUARY 12, 2025 TOWN OF HAMPTON NOVEMBER ELECTION REVIEW MEETING HOSTED BY THE TOWN MODERATOR.

THE TOWN OF HAMPTON 2.12.25 NOVEMBER ELECTION REVIEW MEETING

FROM WHAT I AM HEARING:

SELECTWOMAN BERIONT WAS THE ONLY SELECTMEN IN ATTENDANCE AT THE START OF THE TAXPAYER REQUESTED MEETING.

IT WAS UNFORTUNATE THERE WERE TWO ALREADY SCHEDULED MEETINGS FOR THE SAME NIGHT AND AROUND THE SAME TIME. (THE HBVD & THE HAMPTON GOP MEETINGS) - THIS MEANS , CHUCK RAGE, AS A HBVD COMMISSIONER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE ELECTION MEETING, AS SELECTMAN.

THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN CHAIRWOMAN HANSEN PRIORITIZED SPEAKING AS A CANDIDATE AT THE HBVD OVER SERVING AS A SELECTMAN AND ATTENDING THE ELECTION REVIEW MEETING. AFTER HEARING PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT HER AT THE ELECTION MEETING, SHE ABRUPTLY BUSTS IN TO THE ELECTION MEETING AND PROCEEDS TO REDIRECT THE MEETING TO SOMETHING MORE IN HER FAVOR.

CHAIRWOMAN HANSEN WAS A MAIN FACTOR IN HOLDING THE LINE UP THAT DAY BY CHATTING RATHER THAN DIRECTING VOTERS WHERE TO GO.

THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH POLL PADS AND THE TOWN PLANS TO GET MORE FOR THE UPCOMING TOWN ELECTION.

HAMPTON DEMOCRAT CHAIRWOMAN DEVRIES WAS THERE AND GOP CHAIRMAN HAGEN WAS NOT.

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH HAMPTON REPUBLICANS SIGNED UP TO HELP AT THE POLLS.

THE MODERATOR STATED THAT SELECTMEN WILL NO LONGER BE GIVEN KEY ROLES AT THE POLLS. HE DREW THAT CONCLUSION APPARENTLY BECAUSE BOTH HANSEN AND RAGE COULD NOT PERFORM THEIR DUTIES DILIGENTLY AND WITH INTEGRITY THAT DAY.

UNFORTUNELY THE TOWN FAILED TO ENSURE THIS MEETING WAS RECORDED FOR PUBLIC REVIEW.

IT SEEMS THE SCHEDULING OF THIS MEETING WAS RUSHED AND HAD SEVERAL DETRIMENTAL CONFLICTS REGARDING ITS TIMING.

THE TAXPAYERS DESERVE BETTER.

BRING BACK BARNES.
