03/25/08 - Ruff Back Room Republican Politics In Gentile Greenwich


"If I didn't want to go, I wouldn't go," said Musca, a fifth-generation and lifelong town resident. "I'm not going out hostile. I'm going out on a good note and looking forward to my retirement."

Musca leaving registrar of voters


Veronica Baron Musca is calling it quits after 12 1/2 years as the town's Republican registrar of voters, an elected post ...

...
Musca replaced Chris Thurlow after her resigination in July 1996, five months before the end of Thurlow's term. She had been planning to primary the incumbent and received the endorsement of the RTC Executive Committee, prompting Thurlow to quit.

Musca's announcement comes two years after she averted a primary challenge of her own from fellow Republican Fred DeCaro III, who party leaders persuaded to withdraw from the race and serve as deputy registrar. At the time, Musca pledged that the campaign would be her last.

Musca, who turns 65 in October, said in an interview yesterday that she was retiring on her own terms and looking forward to spending more time training German shepherds....

...
DeCaro, 37, has already reached out to RTC members to get their support for the nomination and said he wants to help residents get better acclimated to new voting technology, make the process more accessible and recruit more poll workers, including students.

"I'd like to see us work closer with the schools to recruit more younger poll workers," said DeCaro, who pointed out that he has attended countless training sessions as deputy registrar and is certified by the state as an election moderator....

....
the machines have improved the counting process, Musca said there will always be a human element in elections.

"It's like driving a car. If the driver behind the car can't drive, then the car's no good, right?" Musca said.
