OHIO GOP'ers entered Locked board of elections

On September 17, 2024, I interviewed Tony Morelli and Andrew Plesich, current Republican elected officials who are running for re-election in Jefferson County Ohio. Tony Morelli is a current County Commissioner, and Andrew Plesich is the current Clerk of Courts.  These two admitted to entering the locked and closed board of elections office in Steubenville Ohio, and then the Jefferson county commissioners covered it up! See for yourselves!

Office and let them in there. Then the Jefferson county commissioners used and executive session a week later to cover it up.

Morelli is desperately trying to keep this from getting out.

Had to find someone with a key and let them in.

Then the Republican commissioners hid this from the voters by using an executive session.

This is the the tip of the iceberg

Story out. Local news consists of Sinclair and Fox and Ogden press. They’re engaged in “catch and kill” with these stories.

Any help would be much appreciated

Insanity coming out of Jefferson county Ohio. It started with them going into the board of elections. Then I uncovered the $700,000 grift these guys including former state senator frank hoagland have run on the voters in Jefferson county. Finally I did one on the intransigence of the local media who refuse to cover it.

What would the gop be doing if it had been two democrats who were caught like this?

but I doubt a message board like this is going to give you the exposure you want. You really need to find a way to get this up on Tik Tok for wider views. While we do have videos on this site, we don't spam them all over in various threads. You've posted it multiple times now and that will just annoy people rather than getting exposure.

This is a good forum to talk about issues, catch up on breaking news, and for democratic activists to touch base.

Seems like they would be interested in exposing a $700,000 graft, or to get their cut of it.

Do you have any of that type of support?

edit to add: We had a local (CO) attorney who followed the trial very closely and strongly believes her prosecution will help to get others... You may want to try contacting him and see if he has any suggestions.

His name is Mario Nicloasis and this is his Twitter acct: https://x.com/MarioNicolaiEsq

At least we had an ethical district attorney. I don't know how you move forward when all the powers that be are working against you.

Good luck!
