Roberts Challenges Stiles, Wants HD45 Recount

The Oklahoman

A petition seeking a recount, along with allegations of irregularities in the  House District 45 race, were filed Friday by the Democratic challenger.

Meanwhile, Cleveland County election officials determined no change occurred  in the Republican incumbent’s margin of victory after tabulating ballots not  counted in Tuesday’s election.

After counting absentee ballots that were discovered Thursday night and 24 of  about 70 provisional ballots that were cast Tuesday, election board officials  determined unofficial final results showed Rep. Aaron Stiles still won by 18  votes.

Paula Roberts listed 10 allegations in papers filed with the state Election  Board claiming that ineligible voters cast ballots in her race and registered  voters in the Norman district were not allowed to vote.

Roberts, who served 22 years as Cleveland County Election Board secretary  before retiring last year, also said absentee ballots were not counted when they  should have been, including 60 that were discovered Thursday.

    I figured this is how it would go in Okla. with those “absentee (ballots)”. The people need to be informed that their votes cannot be trusted that way with the shyster’s running this place. I am sure they pounced all over that opportunity. I intend to spread that message.
