Action Alert! "Count the Votes Rally" Tonight at 7PM

Liberal groups and Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune will gather tonight in Forest Park for a “Count the Votes” rally in the still-not-over election for Hamilton County juvenile court judge.

Here’s the release: Faith leaders join with Commissioner Todd Portune to demand justice and an end to tax payer funded appeals

What: Hundreds attend “Count the Votes!” Rally with Todd Portune, demanding justice for voters and an end of appeals.

Where: Word of Deliverance Ministries of the World, 693 Fresno Rd, Forest Park

When: Tuesday, February 8, 7:00 – 8:30pm

Who: Todd Portune, Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners. Rally sponsored by The AMOS Project; Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance; Baptist Minister’s Conference

Why: Faith and community leaders continue to be disappointed by the steadfast refusal of the Hamilton County Board of Elections to not count provisional ballots, due to poll worker error, cast by voters.

County Commissioner Todd Portune will join leaders from the AMOS Project, BMC and IMA to at a “Count the Votes” Rally to demand justice and put an end to the Hamilton County Board of Elections’ appeal attempts.

Leaders in the faith community have consistently expressed disappointment that votes cast by citizens who showed up at the right polling place, but was directed to the wrong table by the poll worker, are not being counted. The tax-payer funded appeal process must come to end, and the votes must be counted.

At the rally, Commissioner Portune will share his approach to help bring an end to the tax-funded appeals, and faith leaders will rally over 150 supporters to continue to stand for justice and fairness at upcoming Board of Elections meetings and Board of County Commissioner meetings.
