Television Stations Clash Over Erie County Vote Coverage
Erie County voters faced a heated election day amid a behind the scenes TV battle. WICU Channel 13 and WJET Channel 24 protested WSEE Channel 35’s live projection of results via the county computer system provided by the Erie School District. WSEE officials defended using the hookup, while election officials and lawyers argued over permissions and funding. Republican Party Chief Roger Richards alleged voting irregularities, while Democratic Chairman Robert Cooney challenged credibility and urged substantiation before investigations.
