RECESS FOR PHOTOS). PUBLIC COMMENT Washington County resident Danielle Sherman said that after reading the newspaper and seeing things on social media, she can't help but wonder what is going on in Washington County. She said Clerk of Courts Brenda Davis, an elected official, was handed a court order and handcuffed for noncompliance. She is upset that a female county employee was treated this way by Sheriffs deputies. She mentioned the Auditor General Tim DeFoor's report about the Clerk of Courts office and his concerns over the actions of President Judge John DiSalle. She encouraged residents to do their own research into the incident. She encouraged residents to attend the contempt hearing for Ms. Davis at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 2, 2021. She also questioned why the Commissioners approved the addition of $77,000 to the budget to keep Debbie Bardella in the tax office. Washington County resident Ashley Duff stated said it has been two months since she has requested a meeting with the Board of Commissioners and she still hasn't received a response to her emails. She believes it was misleading for Commissioner Irey Vaughan to state that she met with Ms. Duff, because although they did meet in April and May, they haven't met since she made another meeting request in September and October. At the last meeting she offered to bring in national election experts, at no cost to the count, to explain the election data. She said none of the Commissioners have contacted about her offer. She referred to the Director of Elections' data as faulty, and her request to reconvene the election review board have been blocked. Washington County resident Kim Oyler said Home Rule was voted down in Washington county 70/30 percent yet the Commissioners are removing row officers. She addressed Commissioner Irey Vaughan about the request to have husband Robert Vaughan stay out of Prothonotary's; and about her husband denying Clerk of Courts Brenda Davis her right to medical attention and he forcibly put his hands on her to try to drag her to the judge's chambers. While called Washington County government corrupt and she questioned how the Commissioners can expect the Clerk of Courts to function with a diminished staff. The Commissioners are required to provide elected officials with the resources they need to properly and officially run their offices. Washington County resident Ann Shaner said voting is the most basic right in our democracy. She said there is non-existent evidence of widespread voter fraud. She questioned the nationwide attempts of those who claim Donald Trump won the 2020 election. She said the 2020 election was declared by election experts as the most secure in American history. She said sham audits are meant to destroy trust and she questioned the sincerity of the group. Washington County resident Ann Thomas thanked Commissioners Maggi and Vaughan for reaching out to her about her previous concerns. She said it's difficult for people to attend meetings during the workday and suggested the Board of Commissioner hold one meeting quarterly in the evenings. Prothonotary Laura Hough requested the suspension of Capt. Robert Vaughan for his actions against women last Wednesday. In reference to the county's recently posted budget, she that although there isn't a tax increase planned, taxpayers will face tax increased from the federal government due to the excessive printing of money to fund the Covid-19 American Rescue Plan; she said taxes are taxes no matter where they come from. She also referred to the PA County Code, as it pertains to the transfer of records from predecessors to a newly elected official. She brought this up because her predecessor gave the office's automation funds to the county and she does not have access to them. She is concerned that this could occur in the office of the Recorder of Deeds. Washington County resident Anne Charles spoke about a forensic audit vs a recount, explaining that counting invalid votes multiple times does not change the outcome. She referred to another county where votes were counted more than once. She would like to see how many mail -in votes were counted, versus the number of ballots mailed out by the county. She believes we do have fraudulent voting happing here in Washington County and therefore wants a complete forensic audit. THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESPONSE: Commissioner Vaughan asked Director of Elections Melanie Ostrander to speak about a recount the county was ordered to do. Ms. Ostrander said she is an elections expert. She explained that during this year's general election the county was required, by the election code and the department of state, to do a recount of the Commonwealth Court Judge's race and Washington County's results were the same in the recount as they were on election night. Pennsylvania Election Code requires them to do the recount using a different machine than the votes were originally counted on, and when using a different voting machine the results were the same.
