CLEVELAND (AP) - Three of four elections board members in the state's most populous county defied a demand by Ohio's chief elections officer to resign by Wednesday.
Only Edward C. Coaxum Jr., a Democrat, resigned from the Cuyahoga County board in compliance with Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's demand that they step down. The county has been troubled by recount rigging charges and voting machine problems.
Republicans Robert Bennett, the board chairman and head of the GOP in Ohio, and Sally Florkiewicz said at a board meeting that they wouldn't resign. Democrat Loree K. Soggs said after the meeting that he also would stay on the board.
