Office hides elephant, donkey after complaint

AP

August 25, 2010 (NEWARK, Ohio) -- The elephant and the donkey are going into hiding at an Ohio voting board.

A Libertarian candidate saw ceramic figurines of the Republican and Democratic symbols on the counter at the Licking County Board of Elections when he filed paperwork to run for county commissioner.

James Snedden Jr. says the display showed bias toward candidates for the two major parties. He filed a complaint with the board on Aug. 4.

The animal figurines are now off the counter, but still in the office.

GREAT development regardless of which party candidate challenged it.

Yes, it is a good development. Without a viable third party, this country will continue to bounce from Left to Right - reacting to the party previously in power. The problem is that the reaction is usually too extreme. Some of the more moderate Pubs have been dealing with stiff challenges from far right candidates seeking to represent the party in upcoming elections.

We need a party that strongly represents the center. Otherwise, we'll constantly be correcting mistakes made by government which leans too far to the left or to the right.
