Having been around county court house clerks (not in Ohio, but in Alabama)....I will say that most could not handle any stress in their job at all. If you brought a dozen argumentative folks up each day....it’d wear them down pretty quick. Someone who spent time in the US military could handle this stress easily...but these other folks who just kinda drifted along for thirty years and had a pretty relaxing job...things have changed now.

From the article:
**He is a Republican so the county Republican Party in the key presidential battleground state will recommend his successor.**

Of course ‘recommending’ is not the same as ‘replacing’.

My interpretation of “recommending” is that a Republican will pick a Republican from a binder filled with Republicans.

Very mystifying. It mentions that a second, unnamed employee was terminated by the board, and that the county has had trouble getting its absentee ballots out. I wonder if perhaps there was a failure to supervise this employee, or something else in connection with the absentee ballots.

Could you please direct me to the nearest Republican bindery, or even a women bindery would do in a pinch...

Other county election officials have complained about the stress on their departments since the decision by the Supreme Court upholding a lower court decision requiring early voting be continued during the last three days prior to the election, no break for the county officials to get records together for the actual election day voting. Decision was due to Ohio practice that was considered to give special treatment to military voters only during those three days.
