Those close to Juanita should know that the hand-marked paper ballot efforts for Missourians that she worked so hard for are slowly paying off. St. Louis County switched to hand-marked paper ballots last year and there is a bill in the legislature that has the best chance for passage ever. These changes are in large part due to the constant efforts--that Juanita was a large part of--that have been made over the last 13 years, not just this year's efforts.

Juanita also worked tirelessly for election transparency in Missouri. In the effort to make paper ballots the standard for voting in Missouri she was a regular presence at the legislature in Jefferson City, at polling places to hand out literature, and in the letters to the editor in the Post Dispatch. She was a kind and gentle soul capable of great insight into any subject she took an interest in.
