Dear Ms. Zeledon,
I wanted to let you know that the links you provided do not allow me to review the candidate petitions. Instead a message appears saying "You need access Ask for access, or switch to an account with access. Learn more." I have clicked the button to "Request Access" several times but the problem persists.
I have been trying to inspect the petitions since we spoke on Monday. I called yesterday to follow-up and was told I would receive a call back. Please be advised 19:13-9 requires that "All petitions when filed shall be opened under proper regulations for public inspection." Please also consider that the deadline to challenge a candidate petition is April 8. This is the urgency that I was referencing in my request. If you can please provide copies of the petitions in a format I can access, that would be sufficient.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
