Franklin County Board of Elections Pulls A Major Bullshit Move
I'm generally reluctant to call out Democrats so openly or so quickly, but I have to ask: what the hell were the Democrats on the Franklin County BoE thinking giving incompetent former director Matthew Damschroder a 10 month consulting contract??
Dave at Progress Ohio picked up this story from the Columbus Dispatch first, but I feel it warrants a comment here. The BoE replaced Damschroder as director with Democrat Denny White (thank god) at a meeting over the weekend. They then tried to hand Damschroder a spot as deputy director, but SoS Brunner said that was a no-no. So instead, they gave him an $11,000 per month consulting contract that lasts for the next 10 months. SERIOUSLY?
Damschroder is an incompetent GOP elections official, plain and simple. He has never once properly trained his poll workers on ID requirements for voting, and there is serious concern that they don't know what they are doing for tomorrow either. In fact, from a field report I got earlier, Obama lawyers are already seriously concerned and the majority of voting hasn't even started yet. I haven't been able to verify this, but supposedly the poll workers who were working at the BoE for early voting were either confused or incorrect about voting requirements. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the county tomorrow.
But no...he definitely deserves $11,000 per month for "consulting." Or you could spend the money to train poll workers...just a thought.
Didn't Denny resign from his ODP Chair position amid much controversy and chaos that certainly resembled someone being forced out of his job? Who had the brilliant idea to dump Denny into the BOE?
Just about all the leadership of the Cuyahoga Co BOE was replaced (including Dems). The same type of action needs to happen at the Franklin Co BOE to ensure that Dingy Denny doesn't harm the BOE like he did the ODP.
Word is that Damshroder was canned because the SOS discovered he was going to slow down the vote count in an attempt to embarass her tomorrow. They kept Damshroder because noone else knows how to run the place, (Hint D-team: I think Denny can handle it, but the consulting contract wouldn't be necessary if the Deputy Director was paying attention.)
SOS is planning a huge audit next week of the Franklin County vote count to verify results. Big concern over the absentee vote count which may already be subject to some irregularities.
Could there be prosecutions if Damshroder intended to slow down the count?
Tell me another one.
Just like Denny White's computer got stolen from his former ODP office just before he resigned (got forced out) as ODP Chair.
So, how is it that an incompetent AND corrupt Democrat will be so great at running the BOE instead of a corrupt but COMPETENT Republican?
Denny White is full of malarkey. Always has been and always will be.
BTW, the BOE clerks are far from being "nonpartisan" and if ReggieB truly believes they are, he's got a hole in his head.
At 5:30 A.M. I dropped a friend off at the polling place and there were already lines forming with Obama supporters! Its raining, its cold, and people are so ready for change it doesn't matter! This is sure to be the primary of a lifetime! Let the revolution begin!
