Liberal School Board employee fired for rigging election. Greenfield Wi.


Recommended Posts

7 votes and she sat and reported them incorrectly at least 2 times.  I hate cheating.

 

The Whitnall School Board in Greenfield, Wis. fired its executive assistant after discovering that she manipulated the results of Monday's Board President election to hand the victory to a liberal candidate over a conservative.

In a letter Friday signed by all seven members of the board and Whitnall Superintendent Dr. Lisa Olson, it was revealed that on Tuesday "information was brought forward regarding irregularities that occurred during the annual reorganization of the board."

A district employee, who was not named in the letter but identified by multiple sources as Shari Rodriguez, executive assistant to the board and superintendent, was placed on administrative leave. The board held an emergency meeting Thursday night to discuss the results of the investigation.

"It was determined that the reorganization results were not reported accurately," the letter continues, "and the employee responsible has been terminated."

The board will meet Monday, May 8 to "correct the irregularities" of the previous vote.

During Monday's meeting, Rodriguez handed out paper ballots to each of the board members ahead of the vote for president. Each member checked a box next to the name of the candidate they preferred, and Rodriguez collected the ballots and then read the results.

The board consists of four conservative members and three liberals, yet Rodriguez read the results as four votes for liberal candidate Kevin Stachowiak and three for conservative Jason Craig. Conservative member Karen Mikolainis immediately challenged Rodriguez's counting of the votes, noting that she had more ballots in her hand than members of the board.

"Those extra ones are in case of a tie," Rodriguez responded.

Mikolainis demanded a voice vote, but liberal board member Quin Brunette rejected this and insisted on a second round of secret balloting. Rodriguez handed out seven more ballots and members again voted. Again, however, Rodriguez read the results as four votes for Stachowiak and three for Craig.

Later in the meeting, conservative members Mikolainis, Cassie Reiner, and Rachel Scherrer confirmed that they had in fact voted for Craig, and Craig confirmed afterwards that he voted for himself.

It is unclear whether Rodriguez was acting of her own accord or on behalf of Stachowiak or anyone else involved with the Whitnall School Board.

WAIT  i thought paper ballots would solve all this rigged election stuff??  Guess not.. 

Cheaters will find ways to cheat.  But it is easier to catch this way.  This one flat out lied 2 times while counting the ballots in front of the people who voted.

I'm sitting here, laughing after reading this.  How freaking dumb do you have to be to think you can get away with this, knowing these people are right there and can verify how they voted??  Not once, but TWICE?!?!  According to some here, you'd think the offender was wearing a red MAGA hat.

How many times has she done this before working for other school districts?  That is what may be more alarming.
