Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 11/25

Provisional and vote by mail ballots will be counted this week.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 12/25

The court of common pleas race is tight between Brian Mooney and Joan Synenberg (who was endorsed by a whole host of organizations).

An automatic county-wide recount is expected if the difference in ballots is under 1,523.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 13/25

A county wide recount could would take 3 weeks.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 14/25

One of the ballot machines is down, it needs a new motherboard, which won't be available because of a supply chain issue.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 15/25

Correction: @cuyahogaboe has 7 ballot counting machines and 2 are currently down.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 16/25

The @cuyahogaboe was only anticipating a partial county election in May, but if a statewide issue hits the ballot there could be a full county election.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 17/25

The checks for poll workers just went hit the mail.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 18/25

The @cuyahogaboe might be coming out with proposed precinct changes in December.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 19/25

These changes are due to census data and ward changes and need to be prioritized due to a Feb. or March deadline. Areas that will be prioritized include Parma, Fairview, and Berea.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 20/25

The @cuyahogaboe will collaborate with the city counsel on proposals for new precincts and to try and get a final version and then notify the voters.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 21/25

Public Comment: Charles Drake of Seven Hills Ohio who has been a poll worker for 7 years has noticed senior citizens unusually long lines at some polling locations. In Lyndhurst, he observed people waiting shoulder to shoulder all the way to the crosswalk.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 22/25

He adds that $15/hr is not a reasonable rate of pay for the long hours Rovers work, they are also not compensated for the use of their cars.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 23/25

Public Comment: David Delgado of Lakewood says that it's unacceptable to not give sneeze guards to locations that only have 2 EPBs.

Giorgiana Lascu @glascu 24/25

The board goes into executive session and then the meeting ends.
