Pat Lynch wins do-over election
Dayton’ teachers union held a re-vote of its May election Tuesday after complaints of procedural problems and President Pat Lynch was again elected to a two-year term when she won more votes than Juanita Collein.
A group of teachers complained after the May election to the Ohio Education Association, a statewide parent union, that errors were made, such as allowing votes after deadlines and problems in vote box handling.
Lynch said OEA sent an independent lawyer to review the case who recommended additional training for election workers. After his report, the OEA asked Dayton to hold a new vote. Elections are run by a committee that Lynch is not a part of.
This will be Lynch’s second two-year term as president.

How many votes? Pat Lynch DOES and DID control the election - both of them. Scott you should check the total members of the DEA and the number of voters. I believe that it is fewer than 700 overall votes.By M

As usual, status quo in DPS. Some things never change.
