Google Script Failing on message variable - google-apps-script

Question

I have two scripts working on the same sheet, one works fine, the other fails every time. The catch? they're duplicates of each other, just pointing at different sheets.
The debuggers announce that the 'message' variable doesn't exist, but again, the first copy here works great, the second just never runs.
Posting below
Functioning:
function onEdit(e){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation();
var row = sheet.getActiveRange().getRow();
var cellvalue = ss.getActiveCell().getValue().toString();
var email = 'fakeemail#fake.com';
var updater = Session.getActiveUser();
var subject = 'Tracker Updated by ' + updater;
var text = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
if(cell.indexOf('I')!=-1){
message = sheet.getRange('A'+ sheet.getActiveCell().getRowIndex()).getValue()
}
var body = 'Page Updated for ' + message + ' by; ' + updater;
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body);
}
;
and the failing one
function onEdit(e){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation();
var row = sheet.getActiveRange().getRow();
var cellvalue = ss.getActiveCell().getValue().toString();
var email = 'fakeemail#fake.com';
var updater = Session.getActiveUser();
var subject = 'Tracker Now Updated by ' + updater;
var text = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
if(cell.indexOf('Votes!L')!=-1){
message = sheet.getRange('Votes!A'+ sheet.getActiveCell().getRowIndex()).getValue()
}
var body = 'Page Updated for ' + message + ' by; ' + updater;
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body);
}
;
So what gives?
