McEwen wants vote count observers in Clermont

Bob McEwen has sent a representative to the Clermont County Board of Elections to ask that his campaign and that of incumbent Jean Schmidt be allowed to have official observers watching every step of the vote count tonight in Schmidt's home county of Clermont.

Clermont County has had numerous ballot-counting problems in recent elections, including one that resulted in a windfall of votes for Schmidt that enabled her to defeat Democrat Paul Hackett in last summer's special congressional election.

This morning, Clermont election officials had to hold ballots in some precincts for hand-counting later because some precincts got ballots that did not contain the Milford school levy.

"There have been enough problems in Clermont County to warrant this,'' said Mark Faust, a McEwen supporter whom the campaign asked to keep an eye on the Clermont vote count.

"To avoid the appearance of impropriety, we are going to ask for observers, to elmininate this cloud that has hung over Clermont County for the past few elections.''

Faust said shortly after 4 p.m. that he was about to have a meeting with Clermont elections director Michael Keeley to ask that the observers be admitted.

Ohio elections law requires that such requests be made 11 days before the election, but Faust said he believes that Keeley "is a fair and honorable person.''

I cannot imagine any knowledgeable American voting for Mean Jean - she's the most selfish and self-centered individual I have ever met.

Clermont County has had screwed up election counting, ballots, etc. Including a lot of votes coming the last minute for Jean in the last election. No one is saying that they are cheating but they have proven in the home of Jean that they have a hard time running the counting and election very well. I would want to observe if I was involved in any race or issue in Clermont.

Mean Jean is capable of anything. She didn't get that nickname sellign girl scout cookies, unless you count the ones made with real girl scouts.

Delicious irony...the wingnutz don't trust each other!
Those who saw Dan Hurley's "Newsmakers" on Sunday got a good taste of what these two are really like. We progressives have known for years that not only is Clermont's election "machinery" suspect, but that the rot at the soul of right-wing policies is finally
destroying them..all.

Recess is almost over, you Bouncin' Bob supporters. Soon it'll be time to put away your name-calling playground antics. Jean Schmidt has bigger battles to wage once ol' Bob is sent packing. So get over your hate. Unless you plan to follow Bouncin' Bob back to Virginia...?

Go Jean go!
