Ms. Noe's resignation from the county elections board adds more uncertainty to an office that has experienced turmoil stretching back three years, when election irregularities triggered investigations that led to forced retirements and firings of staffers. The office has had three directors over the past three years, and will need a fourth to replace Democrat Paula Hicks-Hudson, who is resigning effective next month.
The office is bracing for the release of a report from yet another investigation into management of the office during elections this year. Carlo LoParo, spokesman for Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, said the probe likely will lead to more staff changes imposed from Columbus.
