The Board finds that mayoral
candidate Levester Adams had only 68 valid signatures, 23 short of the required
91. Mr. Adams says that he had 85 valid signatures but that the Board discarded
several pages of his petitions. The Board’s response is that those pages were
discarded because of a technical error in calculating the number of signatures.
Lateek Rasheen Shabazz has
withdrawn his petitions and will not be a candidate in the Democratic mayoral
primary.
The Board is now considering
concerns raised about candidate Joy Jordan’s petitions.
The Board is about to hear from several parties, including the East Cleveland law director, Dr. Joy Jordan, attorney Pittman, and East Cleveland activists O. Mays and Gerald Strothers.
