Complaint alleges Stoddard County Clerk illegally certified election

[Sherman A1]

BLOOMFIELD, Mo. — A former deputy clerk has accused Stoddard County Clerk Cecil Weeks of illegally certifying the April 2 municipal election after she told him two unregistered voters cast ballots in Dexter, Missouri’s Ward 2.

Ginger McCoy, who recently was fired from the clerk’s office where she had worked for 13 years, filed a complaint April 8 with the Stoddard County Sheriff’s Department.

The filing of McCoy’s complaint is referenced in a motion filed by Stoddard County Prosecuting Attorney Russ Oliver seeking the appointment of a special prosecutor to look into the allegation.

Oliver filed the motion after learning of the complaint, and cited a “conflict of interest” as his reason for making the request.

1. Someone wanted a school board member

to win, pretty bad.

The clerk knew there were questions about 2 ballots. Verified another 3 drop off ballots despite not knowing or verifying if they made the deadline. A school board candidate lost by 3 votes and was told...nothing to see here, move along.

Then the clerk and county commissioner fired her for being a whistle blower.

All over a school board seat.
