Letter: Brian Ames calls for Suffecool’s resignation

Editor’s note: The following letter addresses statements made by Portage County Board of Elections member Amanda Suffecool in an interview with the Akron Beacon Journal, which paraphrased her in the following way: “Suffecool herself remains unconvinced that Biden beat Trump despite courts across the country — including the U.S. Supreme Court — dismissing allegations of election fraud made by the president, his campaign and his allies.” The comments prompted several people to attend a recent Board of Elections meeting to show their disapproval of her statements.

I was appalled to read of the events that took place in the recent meeting of the Portage County Board of Elections. Unfortunately, Amanda Suffecool allowed her private opinions to detract from the excellence of our board in that meeting.
