Democratic Machine Wants to Take Voters' Choice Way
CROWN POINT, IND., August 19, 2010 – Lake County GOP chairwoman, Kim Krull, has worked very hard since she was elected October 31, 2009 to find qualified candidates to run countywide. In 2009 the Lake County Republican Party voted to give the chairman, whoever he or she might be, the authority to appoint qualified Republicans as candidates if there was an opening after the primary.
The only positions the chairman could not fill are those vacancies after the primary for a state office.
The resolution which was filed per law with the Indiana Republican Party is office specific and not person specific. But that is not stopping the Democrats from trying to use that resolution to remove voters’ choices from the November ballot. Voters may only be allowed to vote for 2 democratic candidates that both have broken the law and now want to be employed by the hard-working citizens of Lake County.
Ms. Krull stated, “The mob-like tactics of the democrats is an offense against not just the Republican party but the residents of Lake County. We have given the voters a choice this November and the democrats want to take that choice away. And the sad part about this is when this challenge to Mr. Adams is heard before the Lake County Board of Elections, it will not matter how right we are or how flawed the challenge is.
The Election Board has 3 democrats and only 2 Republicans and the democrats can vote to uphold the challenge and keep our candidate off. Every voter in Lake County should be outraged by these strong-arm maneuvers that the democrats are using to prevent qualified people like Mr. Fine and Mr. Adams from even being placed on the ballot They know they are in trouble this November so now they want to bully us off the ballot.”
So far the democrats have not challenged any other Republican appointments who should appear on the ballot this November. They have only filed against the top two county Republicans who were expected to win.
However, the deadline to challenge is not over. There could be more challenges. It’s a sad day for voters in Lake County who are being controlled by the democrat mob.
