The Reporter learned Friday of the removal of a Democratic poll worker from an early voting site in Carmel. The Hamilton County Election Office confirmed the poll worker was removed for electioneering.
Hamilton County Republican Party Chair Mario Massillamany released the following statement Friday afternoon:
“Today, a Democrat poll worker in Carmel was removed from working an early voting site for attempting to pressure voters not to support one of our GOP-endorsed school board candidates. I have been in communication with local election officials to make sure poll workers are reminded that such activity, called electioneering, is illegal.
“This should serve as a cautionary reminder that those desperate to hold onto power or gain power will do anything – including breaking the law – to thwart the efforts of parents and taxpayers to replace our school boards with officials who more accurately reflect the values of our community.
“If you see something suspicious, please report such activity immediately to a poll worker or other election official immediately. Any questions on what is appropriate can be referred to the Hamilton County Election Office at (317) 776-8476.”
In a way, I miss the days when Republicans ran uncontested. It was so peaceful.
The way some Democrats have conducted themselves is shameful. Especially in the school board race with calling candidates hate groups.
Iran, China, Nicaragua & Russia, just to name a few, all agree with you on the subject of uncontested elections.
When someone shows you who they are – believe them.
