WOOSTER — Like the Secretary of State’s Office, the Wayne County Board of Elections has filed paperwork with the courts declaring its intention to appeal a judge’s order to certify the petitions of an unaffiliated candidate and put his name on the November ballot.
The case involves Stephen Spoonamore, who is seeking to run as an unaffiliated candidate for state representative in District 1. Ron Amstutz is term-limited and cannot run again. Republican Scott Wiggam prevailed in the March primary, and he is definitely on the ballot.
Spoonamore’s fate will either rest with time or the Ninth District Court of Appeals. The court does not have an expedited appeals process for election cases like the Ohio Supreme Court.
The certification of the petitions had been delayed when Secretary of State Jon Husted broke a 2-2 tie, joining the board’s two Republicans, concluding Spoonamore could not run as an independent because minutes after filing his petitions, he requested and cast a Democratic Party ballot in the March primary election.
Spoonamore filed a writ of mandamus, a legal action asking the court to

The probable issues raised by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, which is representing Husted, are whether the trial court lacked jurisdiction over Spoonamore’s complaint due to a lack of service and service of process upon Husted; and whether the trial court erred in concluding Husted abused his discretion by breaking the tie vote in favor of rejecting the certification of Spoonamore’s petition.

Armed with sworn affidavits to contest the votes counted in the election, as well as the willingness of individuals to testify in court, Carter and his lawyer Charles Kirbo filed petitions for a recount as well as a request for the Quitman County Democratic Executive Committee to throw out the entire ballot box. At first, there was little media coverage concerning these accusations made by Carter and his team, although eventually the papers began to catch up and broadcast the story statewide. Carter’s request the ballot box to be thrown out was rejected by the Quitman County DEC, chaired by Joe Hurst himself, and who all refused to hear any of the evidence Carter had come prepared with. However, Judge Crow, who presided over their request for a recount, ruled that the ballot box be thrown out after a recount found there to be 431 votes in the box, as well as a missing voter list and stubs. The throwing out of the voting results from the Georgetown precinct meant that Carter had won the election.
During the film, The Candidate, there are two men running against each other for the position of U.S Senator. The democrat, Bill McKay, is the son of popular ex-governor John J. McKay who’s a candidate for the U.S. Senate from California. He has no hope of winning, but he’s interested in giving his opponent a run for his money. He competes against Crocker Jarmon, a popular and well-aged Republican, who seems to have all his ducks in a row. McKay was asked to run by a political consultant, Marvin Lucas, looking for someone to ruffle up Jarmon’s feathers, who is in it only for the money.
2. The second issue for review is whether the trial court erred in directing a verdict for the contestant Austin by refusing to allow the 1984 codicil to be submitted to the jury.

Since the Las Vegas Review journal can be taken as leaning more republican, it is interesting that Lochhead is vague but not seen as upset that Jacky Rosen will not be pursuing this district again. It seems as though he is concerned with there are so many potential republican candidates, but encouraged that there has been no democrat candidates that have come forth. Lockhead seems to be concerned as to how there may be too many potential from the republic side and from too many different backgrounds. He explains how much money this race tends to cost, and I think he is implying with so many candidates it could cost even more. The article leads an outsider to believe that district will be hard fought and expensive.
Election season is fast approaching. Tuesday, Village of Horseheads Mayor Don Zeigler announced his running mates. Don Murphy and Rose Apgar are new to Village government but not new to the Village of Horseheads.
In conclusion, this case could have been started for monetary reasons, but the initial decision appeared to be made based on the case being controversial in many areas beyond monetary considerations.
Deeken’s comments were aimed at Stephen Spoonamore, who is an independent candidate for state representative, and David Kiefer, who is running for county commissioner as a Democrat, and will face Ron Amstutz, a Republican.
1. Consider Dunlap’s statement on page 3 of the case: “Stakeholders! Every time I hear the word, I ask how much did they pay for their stake?
