While I think it is good to keep them around to certify today's election, I do not understand why we would continue to keep them on as paid consultants during the transition.The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections director and deputy director are expected to announce their resignations today at the public board meeting.
Director Michael Vu and Deputy Director Gwen Dillingham are likely to stay on until after the certification of today's special election which occurs in early March.
The two are also expected to be paid as consultants for several months to help the people hired to replace them.
Last year, the board tied 2-2 along party lines over whether to fire Vu and Dillingham after a disastrous May primary. The vote total was delayed for about five days because the optical scan machines couldn't read the absentee ballots. Polling locations opened late and many Election Day workers didn't show up to man the sites.
The two Democrats voted to fire Vu and Dillingham after a report on the primary laid much of the blame on the top two officials. Inattention by the board members was also cited.
A truce of sorts was reached with the board agreeing that they couldn't replace the two and have a successful November election.
Why would we want Micheal Vu teaching the new people anything? He is being sent packing because he was NOT doing a good job.

Study posted online Jan. 27:
ReplyDeleteOHIO 2004: 6.15% Kerry-Bush vote-switch found in probability study
Defining the vote outcome probabilities of wrong-precinct voting has revealed, in a sample of 166,953 votes (1/34th of the Ohio vote), the Kerry-Bush margin changes 6.15% when the population is sorted by probable outcomes of wrong-precinct voting.
The Kerry to Bush 6.15% vote-switch differential is seen when the large sample is sorted by probability a Kerry wrong-precinct vote counts for Bush. When the same large voter sample is sorted by the probability Kerry votes count for third-party candidates, Kerry votes are instead equal in both subsets.

Well this is obviously better than your last post Mr. Anon.
ReplyDeleteYou people from the other side can quote all the studies, opinion polls, and theories as you want, but Kerry lost.
First - Micheal Vu was a registered democrat when he came to Cleveland.
Second - Cuyahoga County is and has been run by the democrats for at least 15 years or so.
So, if any votes were to be "switched" it would been FOR the traitor kerry.
I may not think of Ken Blackwell in the highest of regard right now, but the man did a hell of a job when dealing with the elections.
As for your "vote outcome probabilities of wrong-precinct voting" - liberal blather!
So you want me to believe that Vu, cost kerry the election?
