HUB status in Moultonborough

I made it to the entrance at 6:30
Watched many older people waited with Canes and walkers
Waiting
They had 4 handicap parking spaces , the Town shuttle bus was stuck in traffic,
The entrance is down the hill for away from parking,
no traffic control at the entrance.

Only 1272 people showed up for the general election, I think that's the problem.
The selectmen will probably have a closed
meeting to figure out what to do

As i understand it, it is not the selectman's responsibility. It is up to the Moderator to figure things out with the help of the Town Administrator. Total disaster. Just another example of poor planning.

Another post by our clueless Town Moderator. We we are all human, but that does not excuse incompetence.. His attempt to redeem himself is pathetic.

‘“The largest crowd we ever had at town meeting prior to tonight was in 2019 when we had around 650 people check in. The expected attendance tonight was thought to be closer to 800 which with the use of the lobby and the aisles without blocking the exit doors was just enough to safely accommodate that number.
The moderator, selectmen, town clerk, town administrator, facilities, public works, school personnel and many town employees all work together to plan and conduct these meetings. Decisions are not made without a great deal of thought and effort, but at the end of the day the buck stops with us. This was an unfortunate situation, and we will do the best we can to avoid a recurrence.
Hindsight is always 20-20, but unfortunately it doesn't change the outcome. It is also not particularly helpful to be unnecessarily critical of people who are essentially volunteers working on your behalf. We are human and not omniscient.”
