Childers v. Bender: Missing laptop

The first 90 minutes of the hearing had one obvious surprise. The Supervisor of Elections office has video on the Childers visit to qualify Bruce Childers to run for Supervisor of Elections. The video has no audio.

When Pam Childers testified, she described how she showed the Form 6 on her laptop to SOE staff. She said that Bruce had completed the Form 6 before their first visit to SOE.

However, Pam Childers does not have her laptop in SOE video of the first visit.

Childers’ attorney Ed Fleming objected to the video being shown. However, he said it was clear Pam Childers didn’t have the laptop on the first visit. The judge told Bender’s attorney, George Levesque, to hold the video during his portion of the hearing.
