Lucas County Democrats and the ODP

Back on May 23rd, Liberal_Dem wrote an open letter to Chris Redfern, which he posted on his blog Politics in Mudville.

Yesterday he had the opportunity to talk with Chris Redfern.

I recommend visiting his blog for the full post, and he provided the news that:

The Strickland and Brown Election Headquarters will not be housed at 1817 Madison Avenue. Rather, they are locating an alternate site in downtown Toledo, and are bringing in an independent staff for that new headquarters.

He also has a piece on Mike Craig and some questions regarding the certification date.

So if you missed this yesterday like I did? Head on over.

Thanks for the links. I feel that we have to get the message 'out' to the voters and, as neither The Blade nor the TV stations care to touch the issue, we bloggers are the next best means of sharing information.

Hopefully our readers will tell their friends and thus the info spreads.

I agree.

Kate, I'll try...

Votes have to be certified before they really count. There was an automatic re-count because the vote was so close. Once that is done there can be a five day waiting period but most times that is waived. Taylor did not waive the waiting period which meant that Mike Craig could not take the Distric 3 seat to be able to vote on who would replace Bob McCloskey.

Since the date of certification of the vote was the date of the voting where Lourdes was selected there is some question as to that vote being legally enforceable.

Is that any clearer?

Rumor has it that Chicago is sending its' politicians to Toledo, to study how partisan politics is played here.

Now, that's saying something ;-)
