A clerk was discovered to have kindly filled out blank spaces on ballots her office received. She's yet another Republican who has committed election fraud. Jail time awaits.
Charlotte Lehan, chairwoman of the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners released a series of questions she wants answered this morning at an emergency meeting on the ongoing state investigation into alleged ballot tampering by a county elections worker.
Lehan, a Democrat, is in a heated race to retain her seat against former Wilsonville Mayor John Ludlow, a Republican. She called on County Clerk Sherry Hall, County Administrator Steve Wheeler and County Counsel Stephen Madkour to answer the following questions. Hall declined to attend or to send a representative:
– Describe the alleged ballot tampering that was observed and reported to you.
– At what time did the alleged tampering occur and who observed it?
– Are there video tape records available? If so, please provide them as soon as possible to the Board of County Commissioners for review.
