Public comments at the Wednesday morning Monroe County Board of Elections meeting suggested a rise in Voter Intimidation and also provided some insight into how various well-meaning but often uninformed election volunteers contribute to the circulation of election misinformation. The first public comment came from a Realtor who alleged that several clients reached out to her concerning prior homeowners voting with addresses they no longer live at. She asked the Board of Elections how these individuals can be removed from the voter rolls, but when asked for additional details, she could not provide any. The speaker was then asked how her client learned a person voted using their address, which she also could not provide an answer for.

No matter how many first days of school students have, a new school year can bring anxiety and disturb the peace of summer, but there are ways to lessen the stress and have a great start.  1) Slowly adjust sleep schedules Readjusting sleep schedules can be one of the more difficult transitions after staying up late or sleeping all summer.  Start going to bed at a time that allows teens to be awake early and not tired throughout the school day. According to the CDC, teenagers require 8-10 hours of sleep every night.  2) Stay on top of schoolwork  It can be difficult to get back to the routine of having homework and staying focused in class. Falling behind early in the school year will make it harder for students to catch up on schoolwork later.
