On this day, April 15, 2002, Damon Knight, science fiction writer and editor, died at the age of 79 in Eugene. His work included "The Futurians" (1977), a memoir of a group of budding writers that included Asimov, Wollheim, Pohl and himself. His 1950 story "To Serve Man" was made into a Twilight Zone episode in 1962.
Marion County Clerk Burgess sends out wrong notice
Even though the state has been a vote-by-mail state since 1995, the problems with it persist in Oregon. Marion County Clerk Bill Burgess has sent a reminder to Marion County voters via text that provides only little detail to the situation, but suggests that the clerk himself had just previously sent out the wrong date for notifying voters of when the elections occurs. Voters were then reminded that it is too late to mail in your ballot, and it should be dropped off a
Marion County ballot drop box.
The unusual message from Bill Burgess via text #41575 is seen here:
“##Welcome to Marion County Clerk - Elections Track Your Ballot##
You may have received an incorrect message with the wrong Election date. Election day is November 3rd. It's too late to mail your ballot. Use one of the many ballot drop boxes in Marion County.
