Tie in Plymouth Town Council primary permits candidate to appoint himself

PLYMOUTH – After unsealing seven absentee ballots in the Town of Plymouth Council Republican primary election on Tuesday morning, the Chenango County Board of Elections reports a tie was revealed between candidates Jerry Kreiner and John Marvin, who each received 53 votes.

According to Chenango County Republican Commissioner of Elections Mary Lou Monahan, in the event of a tie, the winning candidate is chosen by the Chenango County Republican Committee representative from that respective township.

In this case, the lone Chenango County Republican Committee representative from Plymouth is, in fact, Kreiner.

Consequently, Kreiner has named himself as the Republican candidate for Town of Plymouth Council who will appear on the November 7 ballot.

Monahan says this is a legitimate proceeding as the county committee bylaws do not prohibit it, since the chances of this happening are very small.

Kreiner is one of two candidates on the Republican line running for two seats on the Town of Plymouth Council in November. The other Republican candidate is Daniel Meyer, who reserved his spot by receiving 66 votes in the primary election.
