About 20 people attended a Hamilton County Election Commission meeting Friday to share their concerns about the integrity of the May 3 primary election, although commissioners found the results sound and certified the results.
Hamilton County Election Commissioner Jerry Summers said he doesn’t have any reason to believe that any impropriety took place in the election.
“If there was a red flag I’d probably be the one to raise it,” Summers said by phone Friday. “I don’t have anything to suggest that the election was improper, but if somebody does there are avenues to voice their objections.”
According to the certified results, voters in the primary election chose Weston Wamp as the Republican candidate for county mayor, to face Democrat Matt Adams in August. Wamp’s sister, Coty Wamp, was selected as the GOP nominee for district attorney, to face Democrat John Allen Brooks in the fall. Nominees were also chosen for county commission, school board and judgeships.
Citizens in attendance at Friday’s commission meeting said they were there to express concern about the election in general and not in support of a specific candidate.
