The Chief Judges noted that they did have somewhat of a problem with poll watchers
getting too close to the counters; however, with proper instructions the problem was
resolved. Chief Judge Miles reported a case of conversation between one poll watcher
and an election judge; but ballots were not touched.
The Chief Judges were formally thanked by the Council for an excellent job.
