Election Board votes to summon voter after worker affidavits allege physical and verbal misconduct
Summary
The board voted to summon a voter, Terri Lynn Jennings, after workers filed affidavits accusing her of using 'much foul language,' grabbing a worker's license and scratching the worker; the board will decide later whether to refer the matter to the prosecutor.
The Hamilton County Election Board voted to issue a summons for voter Terri Lynn Jennings to appear at the next board meeting after reviewing worker affidavits alleging disruptive conduct at the Carmel Clay Library polling location.
Member Greg Purvis moved to issue the summons, Clerk Kathy Williams seconded, and the motion passed. According to the board's discussion, workers wrote affidavits describing that Jennings used "much foul language," grabbed a worker's license and scratched the worker. The board said it will hear Jennings at the next meeting and then decide whether to forward the case to the prosecutor.
The meeting record does not include Jennings' own account, and no referral to the prosecutor was made at this session. The board characterized the matter as requiring an in-person explanation before any further action.
