I’m still having problems, I am a senior and not used to new technology. When I scan in the bar code and go to vote, it asks me for my login ID and password. Can you send me a link to ensure that I vote for you?
Dear Martie, thank you so much for your persistence.
The link is https://spillwords.com/vote/
