Democrats on the Board of Elections wanted to lower the budget by $172,000.
Board member Brian Daley opposed the cut saying lowering the total budget, that was already approved, and keeping the actual spending at the same ammount would only increase what the deficit looks like. Democrat Wayne Jones voted for the spending plan change saying he didn't see any reason not to. He said the Board was not going to spend that money anyway.
Democrats also said Summit County needs to show a true representation of the spending plan and the Republicans say a lower budget means a higher deficit and didn't think see any benefit for the Board of Elections if the money went back to the general fund.
After a debate, Democrats voted for the budget cut and Republicans voted against it, splitting the vote 2-2. The motion will now be sent to the state for a tie-breaker vote.
