Technical glitch leads to hand vote-count
Due to a technical glitch that impaired the computers that typically tabulate election results, members of the Maury County Election Commission, including Jason Whatley and Maury County Election Administrator Todd Baxter, were forced to count the ballots by hand using addition machines and calculators and triple checking, Whatey said.
Once the results were tabulated by hand, the final calculations were handwritten on a large white sheet of paper and posted on the back wall of the board room at Spring Hill City Hall on Thursday.
The results showed that voter turnout in Spring Hill could exceed 8%, a goal of retiring mayor Rick Graham, who tried to raise the turnout through a pie-in-the-face challenge to the community.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC)- A federal class-action civil rights lawsuit was filed by several groups Monday, and it s suing the Rochester Police Department, several top local leaders, as well as a number of named and unnamed police officers.
The 96-page filing was issued by a number of law firms, as well activists and protestors from organizations like Free the People Roc.
The lawsuit spans decades of allegations of excessive force by the department, with a timeline starting with police responses to the Daniel Prude protests starting in September 2020. There is a pattern and practice in the RPD of using excessive force to suppress demonstrations against the RPD’s racist policing practices, the lawsuit claims.

Protesters and police clashed in Rochester on May 30, 2020. Officers with the Rochester Police Department brutalized protesters, lawyers, and innocent bystanders during Black Lives Matter protests in September, according to a federal lawsuit filed in the United States Western New York District Court.
The complaint was filed Monday on behalf of several key players in Rochester’s recent protest movement, including the organizing group Free the People Roc, organizers Anthony Hall and Stanley Martin, and the National Lawyers’ Guild of Rochester, which provided legal services during the protests in the summer and fall of 2020.
The suit alleges the Rochester Police Department used extreme force in responding to protests, and the use of crowd control measures falls into a long history of the department abusing its power.
