Washington County Register of Wills James Roman wants County Commissioners to place a referendum on the November ballot asking; “Shall the use of voting machines be continued in Washington County?” Roman asked commissioners at Wednesday’s agenda meeting to place his request on the agenda and vote on it during Thursday afternoon’s regular meeting. He received no response to that request. Roman then refused to speak with WJPA News following that agenda meeting. Informing us that he no longer speaks to Washington County media outlets. He also informed us that he would be sending out a news release concerning the matter, but said we would not receive it. It was, however, sent to us. Roman is claiming evidence of voting irregularities in Washington County and says commissioners refuse to return calls or meet to discuss the matter. In the release, he invites the public and the media to his office prior to the commissioner’s 2 p.m. meeting with plans to then go to the meeting and present some two-thousand signatures and publicly request they vote on the proposed referendum and place it on the ballot in November. WJPA News will be at the commissioners meeting and will have more on this later in the day.
