The commission dealt two other blows to the Schmidt campaign Thursday by:
Tossing a complaint against McEwen that he made false statements about living and voting in Ohio. A bipartisan panel of the commission voted 3-1 to find "no probable cause" to hear evidence on that complaint, filed by Schmidt's campaign manager.
To underscore what he said was Schmidt's hesitance to admit the errors, Urling's Hyde Park attorney, Christopher P. Finney, read portions of Schmidt's 68-page deposition in which she says "I don't know," "I'm not sure," "I can't answer that," or "I don't remember" at least 50 times.
