“We have assets—land

trading off time right now.
I’m willing to wait a little
bit for money, while developers want it up front. At
some point in the near future, (the college) will get a
decent money flow. Nothing that was done is draining money away from our

The college has also

La Prensa—Ohio
Virginia crash claims lives of Margaret (née Perales) Layne and beloved
husband Robert
By La Prensa Staff
A large, Latino family,
whose roots run deep in the
Toledo area, are mourning
the loss of a couple killed in
a crash involving an SUV
and tractor-trailer in Virginia just before the holidays. Daughter Debra was
seriously injured.
Margaret (née Perales)
Layne, 59, and her husband,
Robert L. Layne, 80—both
residents of Davis Wharf,
VA—died at the scene of
the crash in Capeville, VA.
According to Virginia State
Police, the couple’s 2005
Chevrolet SUV collided
with the big rig as it turned
right into a parking lot in
the northbound lanes of
Route 13 in Northampton
County. The SUV struck the
side of the tractor-trailer. The
crash is still under investigation and occurred on Tuesday evening, Dec. 20, 2016.
Adult daughter, Debra
Sánchez Anderson, was
riding in the backseat of the
SUV at the time. Medics
took her to a nearby hospital
with non-life threatening
injuries, where she underwent successful surgery.
Facebook prayers and
posts of condolences went
up immediately by surviving family members and
friends,
including
Margaret’s sister and best
friend, Lucy “Lulu” Perales,
and Margaret’s son, Dave
Sánchez, Jr., both of whom
still reside in Toledo.
“The world has lost two
beautiful souls. I thank God
He kept my angel Deb with
us, but hurt so much for the
loss of my aunt and Bob and
for the pain my cousins are
feeling,” wrote Amalia
Gibson. “I’d give anything to
have them back. The love
they showed me was incredible. (I’m) so thankful of all
my memories with them. I just
wish I had taken the time to
make more.”
“My Tia Margaret and
Uncle Bob were two special
people that had an unconditional love towards each other
and love of life that it
shouldn’t have been taken so
soon,” wrote Esperanza Rios,
who recalled making tamales
with her aunt just two weeks
prior. “No one will ever bake
like you, smile like you, and
be there for a great ear to
listen. I’m sure you’re making God a pumpkin roll right
now.”
“They pursued God with
endless love and passion.
They loved each other till the
very end. They were two of
the finest damn people I ever
had the pleasure of being able
to love in my life,” wrote
niece Preciosa Rios. “I miss
them and their laughs so
much. If you didn’t know
these two people, then just
know they were worth every
tear that fell today and they
will be worth every heartache and tear that has yet to
fall.”
“Prayers to my nephew
Dave Sánchez as this is a
very sad time. Prayers to the
Perales family, as you are all
in my thoughts and prayers,”
wrote Anita Sánchez-Serda,
former sister-in-law to Mrs.
Layne. “Heavenly Father,
you took from us one of the
best and greatest hearts. Hold
us in your arms as we mourn
Margaret and Bob today.
Prayers for my beautiful
niece I fondly call Pastor
Mija that she heal physically
and, in time, emotionally.”
Robert was a retired
United States Coast Guard
Chief Petty Officer and Margaret was a retired administrative assistant for the Community Services Board.
Prior to Margaret’s marriage and moving to Virginia, she had been an employee for the Toledo Municipal Court and, following in her family’s footsteps,
was active in the Latino community. Her father—
Benito— was the founder
and president of the Mexican
American Patriotic Association and the promoter of many
tejano/conjunto dances and
concerts. He co-formed the
bands of Los Alegres del
Norte, La Orchestra Perales,
Conjunto Perales, and Los
Imperials Mariachis.
Along with his daughter,
Lulu, Benito directed/managed Los Charros del Norte,
a sensational MexicanAmerican folkloric dance
group. She and her family
also owned a popular Mexican-American restaurant in
East Toledo, Perales Restaurant.
Margaret’s son, David
Sánchez,Jr., is a successful
hip hop/rapper in the Toledo
area.
Robert, a native of Bell’s
Neck, VA, is the son of the
late Robert S. Layne and the
late Evelyn Budd Layne.
Margaret is the daughter of
Lucia [née Martínez] Perales
of Toledo, OH and the late
Benito Perales, Sr.—both of
her parents were natives of
Texas, migrating at a young
age to the Toledo area.
Collectively, the Laynes
are also survived by six children: Debra A. Anderson and
her husband, Lincoln, of
Belle Haven, VA; David
Sánchez, Jr. and his wife,
Lori, of Toledo, OH; David
Layne and his wife,
Brianna, of Fremont, OH;
Raymond Layne of
Bellevue, OH; John Layne
of Brooklyn, MD; and
Carrie Drews and her husband, Fred, of Kent, WA.
They are also survived by
Robert’s sister, Carolyn L.
Lawson of Quinby, VA;
Margaret’s brothers,
Benito Perales Jr. and his
wife, Blanca; Francisco
Perales; and Margaret’s
sister, Lucy “Lulu”
Perales; also, survived
by16 grandchildren, five
great grandchildren, and
many nephews and nieces.
Funeral services were
conducted Wednesday,
Dec. 28, in Exmore, VA,
and a celebration of life
service on New Year’s Eve,
at McCord Road Christian
Church in Sylvania, OH.

difficult.
In 1960 Reynolds married shoe magnate Harry
Karl. The marriage ended in
1973 when she discovered
that Karl, a compulsive gambler, had devastated her assets.
Reynolds’ third marriage, to Virginia businessman Richard Hamlett in
1984, proved equally disastrous. In 1992, against
friends’ advice, she paid $10
million to buy and convert a
faded Las Vegas hotel into
the Debbie Reynolds Hotel
and Casino, where she performed nightly.
Reynolds ended up filing for bankruptcy in 1997
and accusing Hamlett of
making off with her money.
“All of my husbands have
robbed me blind,” she said
in 1999.
In her later years,
Reynolds continued performing her show, traveling
40 weeks a year. She also
appeared regularly on television, appearing as John
Goodman’s mother on
“Roseanne” and a mom on
“Will & Grace.”
In 1996 she won critical
acclaim in the title role of
Albert Brooks’ movie
“Mother.” Reynolds and
her daughter were featured
together in the HBO documentary “Bright Lights,”
scheduled for release in
2017.
Eventually, she reconciled and teamed up with
Taylor—long since divorced from Fisher—and
two other veterans, Joan
Collins and MacLaine, for
the 2001 TV movie “These
Old Broads.” The script, cowritten by Carrie Fisher, was
about aging, feuding actresses who get together for
a reunion show. Reynolds
would look back wryly on
the Taylor affair, acknowledging that no man could
have resisted Taylor, who
died in 2011.
Reynolds received an
honorary Oscar in 2015, the
Jean Hersholt Humanitarian
Award, but was too ill to
attend the ceremony. Her
granddaughter, actress
Billie Lourd, accepted the
statuette in her honor.
Reynolds took solace
and strength in her last years
from her renewed closeness
with her daughter.
“I would say that Carrie
and I have finally found happiness,” Reynolds told
Winfrey in 2011. “I admire
her strength and survival.”

“Gene Kelly fue duro

una entrevista con The Associated Press de 1999. “Tuve

y seis meses. Donald
O’Connor había estado
bailando desde que tenía tres
meses y Gene Kelly desde
que tenía dos años... Creo
que Gene sabía que yo tenía
que ser obligada a

Luego de su transición de

que parecía reflejar el

Durante este periodo

U.S. Department of Education releases guidance on
Civil Rights of Students with Disabilities
Dec. 28, 2016: The U.S.
Department of Education
released three new sets of
guidance today to assist the
public in understanding how
the Department interprets and
enforces federal civil rights
laws protecting the rights of
students with disabilities.
These guidance documents
clarify the rights of students
with disabilities and the
responsibilities of educational
institutions in ensuring that all
students have the opportunity
to learn.
The guidance released
includes: a parent and educator
resource guide; a Dear
Colleague letter (DCL) and
question and answer document
on the use of restraint and
seclusion in public schools;
and a DCL and question and
answer documents on the
rights of students with
disabilities in public charter
schools.
“These
guidance
documents share information
with our full school
communities – educators,
parents, and students – about
important educational rights,
including school obligations
to identify, evaluate, and serve
students with disabilities,” said
Catherine E. Lhamon, the
Department’s
assistant
secretary for civil rights.
“Vigilant attention to the rights
of students with disabilities will
help ensure fair treatment for
every student and that every
student has equal access to
educational programs and has
an opportunity to experience
success.”
The Parent and Educator
Resource Guide to Section 504
in Public Elementary and
Secondary Schools, issued by
the Department’s Office for
Civil Rights (OCR), provides a
broad overview of Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973 (Section 504). The
guidance describes school
districts’ nondiscrimination
responsibilities, including
obligations to provide
educational services to
students with disabilities, and
outlines the steps parents can
take to ensure that their children
secure all of the services they
are entitled to receive.
Among other things,
the Section 504
Parent and Educator
Resource Guide:
• Defines and provides examples to illustrate the meaning of key terms used in Section
504.
• Highlights requirements
of Section 504 in the area of
public elementary and secondary education, including provisions related to the identification, evaluation, and placement
of students with disabilities,
and procedures for handling
disputes and disagreements
between parents and school
districts.
The second guidance package released by OCR addresses the circumstances
under which use of restraint or
seclusion can result in discrimi-
nation against students with
disabilities, in violation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 and Title II of the
Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA). The Department’s
May 15, 2012, Restraint and
Seclusion: Resource Document suggested best practices to prevent the use of
restraint or seclusion, recommending that school districts
never use physical restraint or
seclusion for disciplinary purposes and never use mechanical restraint, and that trained
school officials use physical
restraint or seclusion only if a
child’s behavior poses imminent danger of serious physical harm to self or others. The
DCL and question and answer document released today offer additional information about the legal limitations
on use of restraint or seclusion to assist school districts
in meeting their obligations to
students with disabilities.
The third guidance package released today was developed by OCR and the Office of
Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS).
The jointly-issued Dear Colleague Letter and question
and answer documents will
help update educators, parents, students, and other
stakeholders to better understand the rights of students
with disabilities in public charter schools under Section 504
and IDEA.
These documents provide
information about how to provide equal opportunity in compliance with Section 504 in key
areas such as charter school
recruitment, application, admission, enrollment and
disenrollment, accessibility of
facilities and programs, and
nonacademic and extracurricular activities. The documents are responsive to the
U.S. Government Accountability Office’s 2012 report,
Charter Schools: Additional
Federal Attention Needed to
Help Protect Access for Students with Disabilities, which
included the recommendation
that the Department issue
updated guidance on the obligations of charter schools.
“It is critical to ensure that
children with disabilities have
access to a free appropriate
public education in charter
schools,” said Sue Swenson,
delegated the authority to
perform the functions and
duties of the Department’s
assistant secretary for special
education and rehabilitative
services. “These guidance
documents are designed to
support states, local education agencies, and charter
school personnel to understand their responsibilities under IDEA and Section 504.”
The Section 504 Charter guidance:
• Explains that charter
school students with disabilities (and those seeking to attend) have the same rights under Section 504 and Title II of
the ADA as other
public school students with
disabilities.
• Details the Section 504 right
to nondiscrimination in recruitment, application, and admission to charter schools.
• Clarifies that during the
admission process a charter
school generally may not ask a
prospective student if he or she
has a disability.
• Reminds charter schools,
other entities, and parents that
charter school students with
disabilities have the right to a
free appropriate public education (FAPE) under Section 504.
The IDEA Charter
guidance:
• Emphasizes that children
with disabilities who attend charter schools and their parents
retain all rights and protections
under Part B of IDEA (such as
FAPE) just as they would at
other public schools.
• Provides that under IDEA
a charter school may not unilaterally limit the services that
must be provided a particular
student with a disability.
• Reminds schools that the
least restrictive environment
provisions require that, to the
maximum extent appropriate,
students with disabilities attending public schools, including public charter schools, be
educated with students who
are nondisabled.
• Clarifies that students with
disabilities attending charter
schools retain all IDEA rights
and protections included in the
IDEA discipline procedures.
In addition to these documents, the Department also released a Know Your Rights
document designed for parents
to provide a brief overview of
the rights of public charter
school students with disabilities and the legal obligations
of charter schools under Section 504 and the IDEA.
The mission of OCR is to
ensure equal access to education and to promote educational excellence throughout
the nation through the vigorous enforcement of civil rights.
Among the federal civil rights
laws OCR is responsible for
enforcing are Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964; Title
IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973;
and Title II of the ADA. The
mission of OSERS is to improve early childhood, educational, and employment outcomes and raise expectations
for all people with disabilities,
their families, their communities, and the nation. OSERS is
responsible for administering
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004
(IDEA).

Cleveland bishop retires; Toledo bishop will
oversee NE Ohio
CLEVELAND, Dec. 28,
2016 (AP): The head of the
Roman Catholic Diocese of
Cleveland is retiring because of health concerns,
and the bishop in Toledo
will take over administration of the diocese until a
successor is named.
Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon said Wednesday that he decided to step
down after being diagnosed
with dementia.
The diocese says Pope
Francis accepted Lennon’s
resignation sent in a letter a
month ago and granted him
early retirement status.
Lennon has served as
bishop in Cleveland since
2006, leading a diocese
that includes more than
690,000 Catholics across

eight counties.
He notably ordered the
closings of 12 parishes but
was overruled by the
Vatican in 2012 in a rare
move.
The pope has appointed Toledo Bishop
Daniel Thomas to oversee the Cleveland diocese
until a new bishop is
named.
“Sonriendo a pesar de
sus lágrimas, Debbie dice:
Todavía estoy muy
enamorada de Eddie”.
La carrera musical de
Fisher nunca se recuperó
tras esto, pero la de
Reynolds brilló en el cine.
El musical de Meredith
Willson de 1964, con la
desafiante canción de
Molly “I Ain’t Down Yet”,
le dio a Reynolds su única
nominación a un premio
de la Academia.
También actuó con
Glenn Ford en “The Gazebo”, con Tony Curtis en
“The Rat Race”, con Fred
Astaire en “The Pleasure
of His Company”, con
Andy Griffith en “The Second Time Around”, con el
elenco estelar de “How the
West Was Won” y con
Ricardo Montalban en
“The Singing Nun”.
Además prestó su voz
para la araña Charlotte en
la
cinta
animada
“Charlotte’s Web” de
1973, el mismo año que fue
nominada a un Tony en
1973 con una reposición
en Broadway del musical
“Irene”, en el que también
actuó su hija.
Sin embargo, sus
problemas maritales
dificultaban el resto de su
vida.
En 1960 Reynolds se
casó con el magnate zapatero
Harry Karl. El matrimonio
terminó en 1973 cuando
descubrió que Karl, un
apostador compulsivo, la
había arruinado.
El tercer matrimonio de
Reynolds, con el empresario
de Virginia Richard Hamlett
en 1984, resultó igualmente
desastroso. A comienzos de la
década de 1990, contra el
consejo de sus amigos, pagó
10 millones de dólares para
adquirir el hotel Paddlewheel
en Las Vegas, que había
decaído, y lo convirtió en el
hotel y casino Debbie
Reynolds,
donde
se
presentaba cada noche.
Reynolds
terminó
declarándose en bancarrota en
1997 y acusando a Hamlett de
robarle su dinero.
“Todos mis esposos me han
robado descaradamente”, dijo
en 1999. “El único que no se
llevó dinero fue Eddie Fisher.
Él simplemente no pagaba los
gastos de sus hijos”.
En los últimos años
Reynolds seguía presentando
su espectáculo y salía de gira
40 semanas al año. También
solía tener presentaciones
regulares en televisión, como
la madre de John Goodman en
“Roseanne” y como madre en
“Will & Grace”.
En 1996 fue aclamada por
la crítica por su papel
protagónico en la cinta
“Mother” de Brooks.
Reynolds y su hija fueron
retratadas en el documental
de HBO “Bright Lights”, que
será transmitido por el canal
en 2017.
Al final hizo equipo con
Taylor—divorciada hacía
tiempo de Fisher—y otras
dos veteranas, Joan Collins
y MacLaine, en la película
para televisión de 2001
“These Old Broads”. El
guion, coescrito por Carrie
Fisher, presentaba a un grupo
de actrices viejas y
peleoneras que se reúnen para
un espectáculo. Reynolds
solía ver con ironía el asunto
de Taylor, al tiempo que
reconocía que ningún
hombre podría haberse
resistido a los encantos de la
actriz fallecida en 2011.
Reynolds recibió un Oscar honorario en 2015, el
Premio Humanitario Jean
Hersholt, pero estaba
demasiado enferma para
asistir a la ceremonia. Su nieta,
la actriz Billie Lourd, recibió
la estatuilla en su honor.
En los últimos años
Reynolds encontró alegría y
fortaleza con la renovada
relación con su hija.
“Diría que Carrie y yo
finalmente hemos encontrado
la felicidad”, dijo Reynolds a
Winfrey en 2011. “Admiro su
fortaleza y su capacidad para
sobrevivir”.

HELENA, Mont., Dec.
25, 2016 (AP): The push
to restrict refugee resettlements and immigration in
the U.S. that figured so
prominently in Donald
Trump’s election is now
headed to states that are
preparing to convene
their legislative sessions
early next year, immigration advocates said.
In Montana, which
took in just nine refugee
families from January to
early December, about a
dozen bill requests related
to refugees, immigration
and terrorism have been
filed ahead of next
month’s session. The
measures include requiring resettlement agencies
to carry insurance that
would defray the cost of
prosecuting refugees who
commit violent crimes
and allowing towns and
cities to request a moratorium on resettlements in
their communities.
Refugee rights advocates say those measures
are a sign of what is to
come as the anti-refugee
rhetoric that featured
prominently in the presidential election spills
over to statehouses and
local governments.
“It’s pretty widely
known that this is going
to be a hard year for those
of us who are seeking to
protect the rights of refugees and immigrants,”
said S.K. Rossi, advocacy
and policy director for the
ACLU of Montana.
The president-elect
campaigned on building
a border wall with Mexico
to stop undocumented
immigration, deporting
immigrants who are in the
nation without documentation and halting the resettlement of refugees to
strengthen the federal program that vets them.
Some down-ticket
conservative candidates
took Trump’s cue and integrated the anti-refugee
platform into their campaigns. Montana Rep.
Ryan Zinke, for example,
spoke multiple times
about the possibility of
child terrorists slipping
into the U.S.
Empowered by the
issue’s prominence, antiimmigrant groups have
state and local governments in their sights as targets to push restrictive
measures in addition to
whatever changes may
happen at the federal level,
said Michele McKenzie,
deputy director of the Minneapolis organization The
Advocates for Human
Rights.
That would lead to further manipulation of the
deeply visceral fear of newcomers to the U.S. that was
exposed during the election campaigns, McKenzie
said.
“It absolutely does not
end with the presidential
election,” McKenzie said.
“It’s a national strategy by
a small but organized group
of anti-immigration advocates and anti-refugee advocates.”
It’s unclear if Trump will
make good on his pledges.
But his election appears to
be enough for an Indiana
legislative panel led by
state Sen. Mike Delph,
which didn’t recommend
any legislation after it spent
eight months reviewing illegal immigration.
Delph said after the election that the U.S.
government’s actions may
make immigration less of a
problem for the states.
Conservative lawmakers in other states such as
Montana aren’t waiting to
find out, and are instead
looking at measures to give
towns and cities a larger
voice in the federal resettlement process.
“We need to get serious,” said Nancy Ballance,
a Republican state representative from Ravalli
County.
Ballance said refugees
are a “gigantic issue” in
her southwestern Montana
county, just south of the
liberal college city of
Missoula. “People expect
to see some legislation
brought,” she said.
Missoula has taken in
all of the state’s refugees
this year and has been approved to accept another
150 through September.
That makes leaders in rural surrounding areas nervous that people will
settle in their towns,
where housing and job
opportunities are limited.
“If Missoula wants to
have their soft-landing
program, that’s fine,” said
Bob Keenan, a Republican state senator from
Bigfork, a town north of
Missoula on Flathead
Lake. “Those communities may not be as willing
to expend their social service dollars for a soft landing.”
Soft Landing Missoula
and the International
Rescue Committee have
been the main organizations working with the
federal and state governments to resettle the refugees, who come from
Congo, Iraq and Eritrea.
Mary Poole, Soft Landing Missoula’s director,
said much of the legislation being proposed in
Montana is based on misinformation. Some measures—such as requiring
surveys of communities’
capacity to take refugees—already are part of
the federal process, she
said.
“I hope people are still
open to talking to us and
getting accurate information,” Poole said. “Our
doors are definitely open
for conversation.”
Other state-level bills
conflict with federal refugee laws and will lead to
lawsuits, Rossi said.
Just the act of introducing these measures
sustains the anti-refugee
fear and xenophobia that
grew during the election,
the ACLU lobbyist said.
“Filing this and making
it a public conversation automatically undermines
the refugee process,” Rossi
said. “They can’t legally
undermine the process, but
they can socially undermine the process.”
Ohio governor vetoes bill making renewable
mandates optional
COLUMBUS, Ohio,
Dec. 27, 2016 (AP): Ohio
Gov. John Kasich has vetoed a bill that would have
made compliance with the
state’s renewable energy
mandates optional for the
next three years.
Barring a legislative
override, the Republican
governor’s action Tuesday on the energy mea-
sure will resume benchmarks established in 2008
that were gradually increasing electric utilities’
use of alternative energy
sources such as wind and
solar power.
The 2008 standards also
require utilities to find measurable ways for consumers
to reduce their energy use.
State lawmakers could re-
turn to Columbus to try to
override the governor and
have until midnight Saturday to act.
Kasich also vetoed a
budget line item that expands a tangible property
tax exemption for Ohio’s
oil-and-gas industry and a
bill expanding legislators’
power to abolish state agencies and departments.
Cardenas said. ``Like
Novant (Health), we are
partnering with them to do a
health fair at our church.’’
Also, a North Carolina
State University nutritionist in Winston-Salem will be
presenting nutrition classes
in the program.
Involvement with all of
these organizations has led
to a network of people willing to help area youth.
“I try to build relationships with people so that
when I ask for something,
they help me out,” Cardenas
said. “My dad was like that.
He would always make me
ask questions even when I
didn’t want to.”
Currently, a youth member of The Light of the World
Church serves on the City of
Lexington’s Youth Council.
“That’s one of the great
things about having those
relationships,” Cardenas
said. “It helps push some of
these young men who probably would not have that
opportunity because they
don’t know the right
people.”
Cardenas hardly knew
any people herself when she
arrived in Lexington 22
years ago, and that gives her
hope.
“Sometimes I feel like it
takes forever, but over the
last couple of years, everything has come a little bit
more together for me in terms
of being able to voice my
opinion and letting people
in the community know that
there are other people from
different backgrounds that
are trying to make that happen,” she said.
“I have come a long way,
and I continue to come a
long way, but that doesn’t
necessarily make me stop
there. I want to do even
more,”
Cardenas
said.”Excellence is not perfection, but striving to do
something better.”

Because Saleh’s conviction was based in part on the

THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS AUDIT IS
100% ACCURATE
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
CLEVELAND, Dec. 19, 2016: The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has concluded
a week long hand count of the results from the November 8, 2016 Presidential Election.
“I am proud to announce that the post-election audit numbers for the presidential race
were exactly the same as the results that came from our polling locations and high
speed scanners,” said Pat McDonald, the Director of the Board of Elections.
In the weeks leading up to the election there were claims that the election would be
rigged creating doubts about an accurate vote count. “During this tense election
season I repeatedly assured voters that our election would be administered with
transparency and accuracy. The audit results confirm this fact and builds confidence
in our democratic system,” said McDonald.
Post-election audits are required by state election law following general elections in
even-numbered years and following presidential primary elections. The Cuyahoga
County Board of Elections goes beyond this requirement by conducting audits
following every election.
A total of 1,952 ballots were hand counted from United States Presidential contest.
Election Day, absentee, and provisional ballots were included in the audit. The ballots
were selected at random and the process was conducted by politically balanced teams
of staff members over a period of one week. The audit was open to the public.
LA AUDITORÍA DE LA ELECCIÓN PRESIDENCIAL DE LA
JUNTA ELECTORAL
DEL CONDADO DE CUYAHOGA ES EXACTA AL 100%
La Junta Electoral del Condado de Cuyahoga ha concluido el conteo a mano durante
una larga semana de los resultados de la Elección Presidencial del 8 de noviembre de
2016. “Me siento orgulloso de anunciar que las cifras de la auditoría poselectoral para
la elección presidencial fueron exactamente las mismas que los resultados de
nuestros lugares de votación y escáneres de alta velocidad”, comentó Pat McDonald,
Director de la Junta Electoral.
En las semanas previas a la elección hubo afirmaciones de que las elecciones serían
manipuladas creando dudas sobre el recuento exacto de votos. “Durante esta tensa
temporada electoral repetidamente aseguré a los electores que nuestra elección sería
administrada con transparencia y exactitud. Los resultados de la auditoría confirman
este hecho y crean confianza en nuestro sistema democrático”, comentó McDonald.
Las auditorías poselectorales son requeridas por la ley electoral estatal tras las
elecciones generales en años pares y tras las elecciones primarias presidenciales. La
Junta Electoral del Condado de Cuyahoga va más allá de este requisito mediante la
realización de auditorías después de cada elección.
Se contaron a mano un total de 1,952 papeletas de la contienda Presidencial de
Estados Unidos. En la auditoría se incluyeron las papeletas del Día de las Elecciones,
las de voto ausente y las provisionales. Las papeletas fueron seleccionadas al azar
y el proceso fue dirigido por equipos políticamente equilibrados de miembros del
personal durante el período de una semana. La auditoría estuvo abierta al público.
