County backs Weir probe of voting here
Erie County Commissioner Leo Weir told the Board of Elections his personal investigation into Corry voting procedures found no irregularities. He spoke with every election board member in the 2nd District, Third Ward, last week and reported absolutely nothing substantiating the accusations raised by Judy Kasper and Donald E. McCray about improprieties at the polling place last November. McCray had said he could no longer tolerate his business being used as a polling site amid alleged crooked political up risings.
