Clermont elections board has an early glitch
Polls had barely opened Tuesday morning when poll workers in at least three precincts in Miami and Union township realized they had a stack of misprinted ballots that did not include a Milford school levy.
One voter called The Enquirer to say that after he marked his optical scan bllot sheet, a poll worker asked him not to scan it but to put it in a box that could be hand-counted later.
The same thing happened at Republican congresswoman Jean Schmidt's own polling place in Miami Township.
Supporters of Schmidt's GOP primary opponent, Bob McEwen, have been fanning out to precincts in Clermont County where the problems have occured and say they plan to follow the unscanned ballots to the board of elections tonight in Batavia.
The Clermont County Board of Elections, which has had significant vote-counting problems in the past three elections, managed to get corrected ballots to the polling place by mid-morning.

Post a Comment*Looks like (NeoCons) Blackwell and Schmidt are stealing the election early, they usually wait till the afternoon.
What about the ballots missing the Milford levy?
If the ballots don't have the levy, but the machine is programmed to expect it, the ballot cannot be read. So, they will be hand-counted.
And who does the hand-counting? Why the Clermont County Board of Elections, where two Republican members openly support Jean Schmidt and will not hire a Democrat deputy director.
This election is being stolen for Jean Schmidt. It is happening before our very eyes.
What did you expect? Jean Schmidt is a liar. Did you really think a liar is going to have an honest election? The fix is in. Once the election is over, they will probably accept the democrat as the assistant director - but not until they can fix the election for old cut-and-run Schmidt.
If Jean Schmidt does not go this time, we still have November (I'd rather have a democrat than the liberal Jean Schmidt) and if that does not work, we can start gearing up to get rid of her in two years.
We'll never sleep until she is gone. Oh, now where is that number to cancel the Enquirer subscription. Need to do that since the paper is too biased and is not fairly reporting both sides of a candidate.

Your loser candidate Algore tried to steal the election in 2000. Thank God the Supreme Court followed election law and prevented Algore from suing his way to the office of President. You liberal weasels ought to take a Civics 101 class sometime - maybe you'd make more intelligent comments.
