Jean Schmidt blatantly violating election law

[Gabi Hayes]

caller to Sam Seder is documenting how Jean Schmidt is getting WELL within the 100 foot margin within which no signs or campaigning is permitted

the caller was GREETED PERSONALLY by Schmidt inside this perimeter

he told pollworkers about it, who asked her to leave

she refused

the caller went back and got a camera and videotaped her violating the law!

Clermont county, btw

EDIT: how do you make those blue boxes for snips and stuff? is there an HTML code somebody can link? tired bolds and italics

thx

1. I hope she gets expelled from the race then.

[FreedomAngel82]

3. Yep

And the caller said he saw her running back inside the church which is where the polling was done (I vote in a church as well in a cafeteria like room). Wasn't she involved with Tom Noe?

Jean Schmidt is well known for never forgetting a face or a name. Conventional wisdom recognizes her renowned memory to the point where the Cincinnati Enquirer noted (July 31, 2005):


>>>>Schmidt knows the district very well, having almost a "file-card" memory to recall details about people, places and issues she's had experience with on the local level.

Yet on this morning's CBS 12 "Newsmakers" program, Jean Schmidt lied to the voters - only two days before the election. In an effort to cover up Jean Schmidt's involvement in the scandalous culture of corruption, Schmidt said she didn't know Tom Noe. Schmidt said she'd never met Tom Noe. Schmidt said she had never even heard of Tom Noe. The woman with the "file-card memory" lied.

You see, Jean Schmidt was Vice Chair of the Higher Education Subcommittee of the House Finance and Appropriations Committee. During the same period, Tom Noe was a member of the Board of Regents.

In fact, on March 21, 2002, official state documents prove Jean Schmidt testified before Tom Noe's committee. Tom Noe seconded and approved the minutes for this meeting, which read:

pretty amazing, isn't it?

[Literate Tar Heel]

2. silly rabbit

laws don't apply to Republicans ... have you learned nothing by now?

[LSparkle]

4. Yep, that's the way J. Kenneth Blackwell runs elections in OH

At least she could only be in one place at one time ... unless she had surrogates doing the same outside Clermont County.

[babylonsister]

5. But don't forget about her evil twin! nt

[LSparkle]

11. Oh, was Katie Harris visiting ???

They both use the same stylist, BTW.

[babylonsister]

18. No, she really does have a twin, though

can't say for sure how evil she is. :evilgrin:

[LSparkle]

19. Geez, one of THAT woman is ENOUGH!!!!

[rucky]

46. she IS the evil twin n/t

[bahrbearian]

[DanCa]

41. Isn't her sister Gollum

From lord of the rings?

[indy_azcat]

7. it was a hangnail charity for the church

she 'had' to get those Schmidt nail files out there! :patriot:

[City Lights]

9. She's either dumb or desperate.

Or both.

Did I hear this correctly - caller also said she was giving out "Jean Schmidt" nail files? :wtf:

[FreedomAngel82]

16. I heard that too

:crazy: Does she give them to the men too? :shrug:

[DanCa]

42. Can I vote twice

We are talkiing ohio after all. :nuke:

[jillan]

10. Maybe they should physically remove her!

Kick her butt out of there!

[Gabi Hayes]

15. caller said he videotaped her, so there should be a cause of action

if she "wins," perhaps she can join Traficante

[me b zola]

23. Send video to KO and other media outlets.

I guess it's tradition in Ohio & Florida blatantly break state & federal election law.

[librechik]

14. Republican=Above the Law

we fought over 200 years for this?

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

17. I'm Sorry....Won't Happen Again....

Shrub will award her for this somehow. Does anyone really think this matters? Just a little criminal activity, nothing to worry about. Move along.

[Jim Sagle]

29. Isn't that a blatant violation of the law?????

[Gabi Hayes]

31. department of redundancy department?

plop

plop

I can guarantee that Jim Sagle is completely and utterly insane

[Gabi Hayes]

32. just kidding

[Jim Sagle]

33. Ppffffffbttttttt!!

[AuntPatsy]

26. Big Kick.

[Swamp Rat]

28. kick and recommended! n/t

[Mz Pip]

30. Big deal

Laws don't matter if your a Repug in Ohio.

Besides, anyone who votes for a person because she gives them a crappy nail fiole with her name on it get what they deserve for a representative.

Too bad the rest of us don't deserve it.

:dem:

[AuntPatsy]

34. Sadly it is a big deal for this whole country.......

I honestly cannot comprehend the self imposed oblivious state of mind far too many have encased themselves in...

[smartvoter]

35. Kick. Let's get this on the front page. nt

[Gabi Hayes]

36. you ARE a smart voter

WHEN are the Achordate Dems going to wise up and see that a TRUTHFUL version of Newt Gingrich is what we so desperately need.....and, perhaps the 40 percent plus of the disillusioned who NEVER vote...would like to see in a candidate???

[smartvoter]

37. When hell freezes over. nt

[Janice325]

38. Also kicked and recommended

[fearnobush]

39. What is the penalty for for this if it were held up in court and

anyone got that video?

[halobeam]

43. Here's to hoping there is a "real" answer to this question....

I've seen this question posed a few times without a serious response to follow. I'm wondering the same thing too. Wish I had the research skills. Here's to hoping we find it.

[Janice325]

44. Add me to the group who would like a "real" answer as well.

Inquiring minds would like to know.

[Gabi Hayes]

45. well....how hard would it be to look up election statutes?

it't obvious that there's a LAW that does not allow campaigning within a certain distance of polling places

I work at a jr. high school/polling place, and the signs there are always place PRECISELY at the 100 foot limit

I can't imagine what would happen if a candidate PERSONALLy appeared within that limited space and handed out campaign material

what do other DUers have to say about similar occurrences in their own districts?

surely you know what I'm talking about....the signs don't EXIST within that certain protected distance

can you imagine a candidate standing there, just outside the door, handing out dildoes, nail files/whatever?


she should be ARRESTED posthaste, as soon as the incriminating video is submitted.

where's my drink?

PS a big kudos to Jim Sagle, for his acumen

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. Laws don't apply to repukes.

Remember. Laws are for Democrats. Laws are meant to be broken if you're a repuke.
