thank you. please help me to determine the “cost per vote / precinct”; ie, request from the Registar’s office the information as to how many voters in each precinct divided by the cost (salaries, rent, all expenses, etc). This is a quotient that should be available across the Commonwealth of Virginia for ‘efficiency and effectiveness’ evaluation and comparison. If the electoral boards are truly transparent and accountable, then this information should be readily available and shareable without the need for FOIA request. Thanks again.
