CLEVELAND, Ohio - The third member of the embattled Cuyahoga County elections board has quit under pressure from Ohio's top election official. This time it's a Republican. A board spokeswoman says Sally Florkiewicz resigned today, five days after Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner filed a complaint seeking to remove the last two members. That just leaves one holdout -- board chairman Bob Bennett, also head of the state GOP. Two Democrats resigned on their own under pressure from Brunner over problems with voting in Ohio's most populous county. Florkiewicz in a statement accused Brunner of trying to advance a partisan agenda. The problems included glitches with the rollout of electronic voting and the recent convictions of two elections employees over rigging a recount. Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. |
