Disappointing, but not really a surprise. Would have been interesting to see if the outcome would have been different if the party affiliation of the board or candidate was reversed.

Kelty has established that he doesn't give a rat's ass about legalities. He is, after all, just following established Allen County GOP precedent. . .it's all just a bunch of "honest mistakes". . .just ask Steve "wife beater" Shine!
ROACH said... Indiana state law requires many boards and cmissions to have whats called "partisan balance"- that means that there is supposed to be a proportion ing of board members between party's. One of those boards specified_I dont have the direct law citation; but its there, trust me, or look it up yourself- is county election boards. Last time I checked, there is an active Libertarian party in allen county- ask bob enders; as well as a Libertarian State party, and should be in every county.
this means that due to the Libs having ballot access, a legitimate 3rd party, that all boards, comissions, and such should have libertarians on them ; including the allen county election board. As such, this lack of "Partisan balance" renders the ACEB to be an illegally Constituted board, and as such, all decisions rendered by the ACEB null and void, due to illegal composition. As well as all previous decisions by all illegally constituted boards, and commissions as far back as the Libertarian Party has had legal 3rd party ballot access. I love the thought that this will throw a monky wrench into the works, require 1000's of $$$ to correct , give all aggreived citizens the right to appeal any an all illegally derived decisions by these illegaly consituted boards, and creates a crisis for the Governor, the State house, and any involved administraqtive laws, decisions, appelas, and opens the state of Indiana up to potentially bankrupting magnitude of back judgements, court costs, settlements, and related topics... giggle!!! This has been a ticking time-bomb, and should Mr. Downs decide to pursue this matter, after his embarassing smackdown by a backwater, nutjob, hick hoosier town lawyer; It will be fun to see. The ACEB was hornswoggled by Bopp, a "traveling snakeoil salesman"; bambloozled, hoodwinked. As Bugs Bunny would say- "What a maroon". Ive read election laws- frequently- you wouldnt play monopoly, without knowing the little quirks that will bankrupt you opponent when he lands on your Park Place, packed with "Roach- Motels"; would you? Nor should you play the election game without playing by the rules, and knowing the minutia that will keep you from being tripped up. Brown, Wright, and Downs make a mockery of the system, by their incompetence, and being cowed by Bopp, afore mentioned 1 man traveling circus sideshwo.

In order for Kelty to truly not get away with this, (il)legal or just wrong, everyone must remember how he has conducted himself thus far, and the spin he's put on things to make himself look better. There is a lot of time between now and the election for him to work that spin machine of his.
I still think Henry will win in November. We haven't heard much from him yet, but I'm sure he's working on his campaign. I think there are a lot of republicans unhappy with Kelty, in fact, unhappy enough to cross over.

Seems like this event was a boondoggle!

He may have not broken the law, but people still see him as a shady character.
This isn't the first time he has messed with election laws and this is what people will remember about him.
No surprise here.
Time to focus on the upcoming election now.
Who's going to win?
Kelty won't be able to escape his unpolished demeanor though - he has shown his true colors now on several occasions.

Damn Good, was the wife beater comment really necessary?
Kinda snippy for a tolerant lib, eh?

It doesn't take much "spin" to counter arguments made by David Roach and his "anonymous" friends. No heavy lifting involved at all.
