CINCINNATI (Enquirer) - Two Cincinnati mayoral hopefuls failed on Friday in their fight to get on the primary ballot, according to our media partners at the Enquirer.
After spending almost three hours on Friday combing through dozens of signatures, the Hamilton County Board of Elections found Kelli Prather and Adam Koehler did not have 500 valid signatures each to get on the May 4 primary ballot.
On Friday, Koehler, 43, a tech entrepreneur from Mount Auburn, and Prather, 48, an activist from Madisonville, fought for the inclusion of dozens of more signatures on their mayoral petitions. For Koehler, his lawyer said one page with 36 signatures should count because the circulator made a technical mistake of putting down the wrong date.
The four-member Board of Elections voted 3-1 to reject Koehler s petition. The two Democratic members, Hamilton County Democratic Chairwoman Gwen McFarlin and Joe Mallory, voted to reject, along with Republican Chip Gerhardt. Hamilton County GOP Chairman Alex Triantafilou voted to accept Koehler s candidacy, saying he believed Koehler was in substantial compliance.

The older I get, the more likely it is that I wake up in the morning with aches and pains. I guess that s part of the deal.
One of the most frequent, though, is a sore neck. And that is one ache that I can blame on my work as a politics reporter for the Enquirer back in the 1980s. And I can, at least in my own mind, pin the blame on one specific politician - the late John A. Socko Wiethe, who spent 34 years as the chair or co-chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party.
When I say I think he may have been responsible for the cervical spine problems that I had years after he passed on, I mean that in a literal sense.
