More on Noy complaint

No word yet on how many, if any, subpoenas Nathan Noy has asked the Ohio Elections Commission to issue in his complaint against U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt, but...

The reaction continues from others crossing paths with the write-in congressional candidate from Chillicothe

Noy threatened to subpoena former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder as well as Householder's ex-chief of staff, Brett Buerck.

Noy said he wants to question anyone who may have been involved in posting Schmidt's 1993 Columbus Marathon finish-line photo on her campaign web sites dating back to 2000 when Schmidt first ran for state legislature. In his elections complaint, to be heard Thursday, Noy alleges Schmidt made false statements about running marathons, including fabricating a photo from a 26-miler in Columbus.

Earlier today, Buerck said, "I have no idea what he's talking about."

"I wasn't a part of putting the photo on the web site, so I don't know if it is a doctored photo," he said in a telephone interview.

"And if it is a doctored photo, I have no idea who would have done it or why they would have done it."

"I tried to win campaigns and get people elected," Buerck said, "and doctoring photos doesn't have a place in that process."

Separately, Sean Gleeson, an artist and college teacher from Oklahoma City, informed me of his recent conversations with Noy and today's posts on his blog:

Gleeson said he never heard of Noy before reading about him in news accounts Aug, 24, and never contacted him before Thursday.
