Delco GOP Sues County Council Over Election Code Change; Will Their Testicles Drop After All? — The Delaware County (Pa) Republican Party is suing Democrat-controlled County Council over changes made to the Election Code, Jan. 18.
The lawsuit was announced May 21.
The new law allows the board to reject all members on a list of three names submitted by the Republicans for the seat and restart the process. Previously, they had to accept one of the names.
State law requires all counties except Philadelphia to have an election board with a minority member and that the minority member must come from a list submitted by the county chairman of the minority party.
The county law passed by the Democrats lets them reject names unceasingly until they get one that meets with their approval.
Good for the GOP for finally standing up even if it’s just for a little.
Now, how about giving Rob Mancini a hand with his right-to-know case? The Delco Republicans haven’t even made a public statement or issued a press release in support. You’d think it would be good politics to simply ask why the Democrats are fighting so hard to keep the people from seeing correspondence with Fort Orange Press of Albany, N.Y., which prints the county’s election ballots.
Frankly, it would be good politics to ask why Delco’s ballots are not being printed in Delaware County, much less out of state.
The GOP can also start asking why the Democrats are fighting so hard to hide ballot envelope signatures.
Again, it is good and necessary politics to call out strange and suspicious behavior by governments to whom you are the opposition.
All we’ve heard from the Republicans on these matters are crickets.
Also kudos to Bob Small for submitting a tip.
