Hello Mr. Musgrave,
Unless I've missed it, your email does not contain any request for
records (see below). If you send a specific request, the Board of
Elections will respond as quickly as possible.
My email address was changed recently, which may explain why I did not
receive your request.
Sincerely,
Bob Kando
