Former Montgomery County Board of Elections workers try to point out that incomplete ballots may have been provided in a 2006 election. (this story broke on esrati.com [1]) Instead of investigating the claim- the BOE starts a witch hunt on how this election info was leaked. The prosecutor’s office plays along- but fails to file charges on the leakers- or investigate the BOE to see if they really did screw up.
Net gain for the voters/taxpayers- nothing. Same old, same old.
From today’s DDN:
The Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office has declined to file charges against two men who admitted distributing a Board of Elections document they said was evidence of wrongdoing in the 2006 elections, according to documents obtained by the Dayton Daily News on Tuesday.
After a review of the investigation, the prosecutor’s office cited “a lack of evidence” that election statutes had been violated, according to the investigative report filed by Montgomery County Sheriff’s Sgt. M.D. Hutchison….
“It was my position that it was either a fake or it was just a working copy,” (Steve) Harsman (Dem Director of the BOE) said. Harsman said that the board had asked for an investigation both of the charges made in the letter and a determination of how the document was released. Hutchison’s report shows that Eric Worthen, an elections board employee from 2003 through 2006, and Douglas Tully, who worked there from 1994 through 2007, were the two former employees who admitted distributing the document.
The board must employ equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. Both Worthen and Tully are Republicans, said Montgomery County Republican Party Chairman Greg Gantt.
Gantt, who is also chairman of the elections board, said he was disappointed with the prosecutor’s office decision not to file charges against them.
The four members of the board, two Democrats and two Republicans, have strongly denied any wrongdoing.
Harsman said that the board would be putting out an official statement later this week.
Worthen said Tuesday night he wasn’t surprised that no charges had been filed against him because “the document that was released was legitimately obtained.”
Worthen also said he stood behind the charges made in the anonymous letter and he wondered why the board members refused to do anything about them….
“The board did nothing wrong,” said board member Dennis Lieberman, the former chairman of the county Democratic Party, who added that “I think the information they provided is false information.”
via Charges not filed in voting dispute [2].
But let’s look past the matter of whether an election was conducted properly and look at the people who run the Board of (S)elections, how they get there and why no one is willing to hold them accountable. It’s time to demand a major change in how BOEs are put in place in Ohio.
First is the insane concept that we should have un-elected people running the elections. There is only one person in the state who is elected to oversee elections: the secretary of state. Our current one, John Husted, consistently broke the law about residency when he was a state rep and a state senator- with no accountability to anyone- since the local BOE continued to be deadlocked 2-2 and the deciding vote was the SOS which gave him a hall pass.
The idea of letting the Democrats and the Republicans have their political parties fill the four board seats (which pay $20k a year for 2 meetings a month) is the first bit of hypocrisy. What about third parties- and what about the gross overpayment- usually each party’s chair sits on the board to collect a paycheck.
Then we have the “separate but equal” office structure with 2 people for every one job- one a Dem and one a Rep. This is not only expensive- but has turned into the biggest patronage cesspool going. We’ve had a convicted rapist hired, without a job application [3]. We’ve had an alleged meth dealer working there [4] for years (son of a powerful lobbyist) who was fired for forging a signature on an absentee ballot. [5]
The list goes on. But what is most intriguing is that while the county cries poverty- bonuses, raises and an excessive amount of overtime (for salaried directors) are being handed out. Here is a spreadsheet of pay at the BOE for you to examine from a public records request made by a reader:

This is how we pay people to hand out patronage jobs to rapists, dope fiends, friends and family?
How about a real investigation?
Holy Cut The Pork Batman! You have got to be frekin kidding me. Why does the director and deptuy have almost twice as much ot as other employee’s Maybe the naughty librarian, who does the time sheets is giving her lover extra hrs, just sayin. They do go to conferances to exotic vacation cities together. Nepotisn at its best here folks. lets look at a few of these names and affiliations : Jordan (daughter of commissioner Dodge) Susan Martin (sister of former state senator) Tipps (son of former county chairman) Merkle ( widow of County Chairman Owens right hand man) Dave Owens (Brother of County Chairman Owens) Pircilla Ritchie (daughter in law of current board member and might be related to Elvis) Lehman (works at republician HQ and long time political hack) Carolyn Clark (mistress of former republician chairman and many others) This is nepotism at its best and something has to be done about it. Thank goodness for people like ESRATI WHO HAS THE GUTS TO EXPOSE THE CORRUPTION AT THE BOE! David needs to run as a write in now! Where do I send my check
@Bone- I’m honored, but you can’t even vote write in for Dayton City Commission. Won’t be counted. No provision for it.
Thanks for the indepth connecting of the dots of the nepotism. I’ve been unable to spend the time tracking all that down.
I would like it noted for the record that I was impressed with the professionalism of SGT Hutchison when we interviewed about the document and its origin. He was an honest guy looking for some answers.
Eric thats great but why did he not follow up on other criminal activity that was brought to his attention. He promised the investigation would continue and stopped at the witch hunt the Board sent the Sheriff’s office on. If Liberman thinks the document is altered he should only look at Steve and Betty for changing the numbers, Even Sarge said the numbers don’t add up so WTF lets see what the REAL crime that occured and COMPLETE the investigation. Looks like the Sheriff is muzzling Hutchison. Why did they had it over to the Prosecutor’s office anyway? Sarge said he could not find any crimes committed so wheres the beef jerky. I personally am not impressed, they constantly brought up tipps’s name and looks like to me he had nothing to do with it. Steve wanted to bring the attention to someone other than himself and look no further than Harshman for the real abuse.
@ Bone-
I for one would certainly like to see the ardent investigation of the ballot discrepencies starting with disclosure of a precinct by precinct provisional ballot accounting from the ballot scan. Don’t try to use soil and defaced to explain a way some additional ballots…they are soiled and defaced in pairs… so there is no accounting shift there. No hiding behind base line accounting “smoke and mirrors”…. just a straight page one-page two break down by precinct and we will see the truth of the matter and get an accurate understanding of just how large this mistake was. It should be an easy report to generate on their muti-million dollar electronic system. Let’s get to the bottom of the real issue and not be sidetracked by petty political play.
I need more than hollow assurances that noone has “done anything wrong”…. I wan’t proof.
