Challenges tossed in Summit - challengers may be criminally liable
Poor Alex was not having a good day yesterday...

<<The challengers, all older longtime Republicans -- Barbara Miller, Howard Calhoun, Madge Doerler and Louis Wray -- were subpoenaed by the elections board and were present at the hearings. Akron attorney Jack Morrison, a Republican, volunteered to represent the four.

Democratic board member Russ Pry suggested that the four could be subject to criminal prosecution for essentially making false claims on the challenge forms. The form states that making a false claim is subject to prosecution as a fifth-degree felony.

On Morrison's advice, Miller then refused to take part in any hearings after Herold's, invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.>>

Alex Arshinkoff was forced to second the motion for withdrawal of the challenges yesterday, and suggested the statewide GOP chair should be held accountable for the fiasco.

On top of that, someone wants to spray paint his big sign:

(For those who don't know, Alex is the Republican "God" of Summit County)

1. It's about damned time these criminals were actually charged!
If we start demanding serious jail time instead of wimpy fines, these ass wipes will stop this shit.
