Responding to questions via email last week, Jodi Brown, district director of public relations for Broward College, said that because the Republican Party’s views on mail-in voting have changed, the Village Square advisory board “thought it was important to have the GOP represented in this civil debate as part of the ongoing discussion on mail-in voting. A representative from the Democratic Party was not included as the board felt the two supervisors of elections would already offer arguments in support of the system’s credibility and could talk about the process to bring a level of comfort to people about mail-in ballots.”
