Ohio County Sets Ballot

WHEELING — Elections officials in Ohio County today checked the “p’s,” the “q’s” and all the commas on the Nov. 8 general election ballot to make certain there is no controversy this time when voters go to the polls.

Ohio County Coordinator of Elections Toni Chieffalo and  ballot commissioners Debi Smith, a Republican, and Frank Ellis, a Democrat, closely examined the ballot information in preparation for the upcoming election.

Their actions came after a primary election in which questions were raised about the ballot presented to voters, and how names in the race for Ohio County Board of Education were organized.

The name of candidate Sarah Koegler — who ultimately won the election — was separated from the others and on another page.

Drawings also were held today to determine ballot position in House of Delegate races in which there are more than one candidate listed from each political party.

In the 3rd District race, the name of Delegate Erikka Storch, R-Ohio, will be above that of her Republican competitor, Scott Reed.

In the 4th District race, Democrat Joe Canestraro will get top position over Delegate Mike Ferro, D-Marshall. Also in the 4th District, Republican candidate Delegate T. Kelley will be listed first on the ballot; and David A. Evans, second.
