Dropping the ballot: Voting continues today
despite closures at polls Wednesday

By John Wampler

Michael liavis. an English
sophomore. went to l,( (‘
Wednesday to pick up :i book
and cast his vote in the Stu-
dent Government elections He
picked up the book. but he did-
n‘t get to vote. The polling site
at LCC was closed.

The LCC site ended up be-
ing closed all day. as was the
Medical Center site Patrick
Robinson. chairman of the
Election Board of Supervision.
said that he had not beeti able
to find anyone to work at LCC
in the morning. The group that
had signed up to work at the
Medical Center and from 13
pm. until 6 at LCC did not

show up. he said,

Regardless of the reason.
this development frustrated
students like llavis. who said
he works till o p in tomorrow.
and now will not be able to
cast his vote.

"If there's a set time for
the polls to be open. then that's
when they should be open." he
said "Closed polls is ill dis-
courage students from voting."

\'oting problems did not
end with the closing of two
polls The Law School site was
left unattended fora portion of
the day, and in order to ensure
against voting fraud. Robinson
said the mat hiiie will be reset.
canceling out the 47 votes that
were cast there.

In addition.

there were

technical difficulties with the
new wireless system that was
being used to ensure that stu-
dents didn‘t vote at more than
one site. in the past. a tele-
phone system was used to
check all students as they vot-
ed. but the multiple phone
lines that used to be in the 86
office for this purpose are no
longer there. Robinson said.

The system was not work-
ing properly at the Commons
site in the morning. requiring
poll workers to keep records
by hand.

"I ran into glitches I was-

n't expecting." Robinson said.

Robinson said that despite
the setbacks. he and the rest of
the E-Board did the best they
could with what they had to
work with. At all points in the
day. at least eight polling sites
were open. he said.

Jury returns guilty verdict in Ragland trial

Defense plans appeal: ‘Trial should have
been moved because of pretrial publicity'

ASSOCIAllD DRESS

Jurors convicted Shane
Ragland of murder Wednesday
for the 1994 sniper-style slay-
ing ofa UK football player. a
crime that went without an ar
rest for more than five years
They recommended a sentence
of 30 years.

The Fayette Circuit Court
jury deliberated about 3 I 2
hours before returning the
guilty verdict around 7 p iii.
The sentencing (lellliei‘élllttlis
took about an hour

Ragland. who faced a sen
tence as stiff as life without pa
role for 25 years. would be

eligible for parole after sen'ing
12 years if Judge Thomas
Clark follows the jury's recom-
mendation when Ragland is
sentenced April '26.

Ragland showed no emo.
tioii when the verdict and sen-
tencing recommendation were
read but nodded and winked at
his father. Jerry Ragland. as he
stood to leave the courtroom.

Defense lawyer William
Johnson of Frankfort said he
planned to appeal. possibly on
the grounds that the trial
should have been moved be-
cause of pretrial publicity

“He's obviously disap-
pointed and concerned. but

he's optimistic about the possi-
bility of an appeal." he said.

Ragland. 28. of Frankfort.
was convicted of gunning
down DiGluro. a walkon offen-
sive lineman and honor stu-
dent. as DiGiuro celebrated his
215i birthday with friends on
the front porch of his Lexing~
ton home on July 17. 1994.

The crime went without an
arrest until Ragland‘s former
girlfriend. Aimee Lloyd. came
forward in January 2000 and
told police he admitted to
her in 1995 that he killed
DiGiuro.

"This case has taken
many. many years of hard po-
lice work and has taken a lot of
effort to get to the point we did
tonight." Commonwealth's At-
torney Ray Larson said after
the. sentencing.

“Now we can move on to
something else. We never. ever
were going to let the resolution
of this case rule our lives.“
said Mike DiGluro.

Kathy Ragland tried to put
a jacket over her head as she
left the courtroom but was
questioned by reporters.

“How do you think I
feel? My son is innocent. He's
always been innocent." she
replied as Ragland's lawyers
hustled her downstairs and out
of the courthouse

The trial began March 12

The jury. made up of to
women and two men. retired to
the jury room about 1:30 p m

During the trial. the prose-
cution called dozens of witness-
es. while the defense rested its
case Tuesday after calling sev-
en witnesses over two days

tions and Evaluations (‘om
mittee Tony Stoeppel. and the
full 80 Senate for unfairly us
ing 80 funds for the ad.

"He's spending (the stu-
dents') money on a worthless
full-page ad." Hayes said

Hayes said the ad supports
Robinson‘s campaign and
therefore breaks the SG rules
that all candidates should get
the same support from 80.

According to the S(} con-
stitution. no 80 resource can
be. used to support any candi
date unless thes same resources
are made available to all
candidates.

Yet. Robinson said the ad
is not a campaign ad. because
it did not state support for a
specific candidate.

“The ad didn‘t even men
tion my name." he said.

The 80 Senate (‘hair-
man‘s Fund paid for the full-
page ad. headlined “A report
from Student Government."
Orange. who is 80 Senate
chairman. paid for the ad with
SG funds. The ad cost 31.09650.

The ad cites the expenses
in advertisements in the Ken-
tucky Kernel over the past two
years. It says that 8181,50 has
been spent in advertising in
the Kernel for this fiscal year.

pecially hurt him. he said.
since he spent a great deal of
time campaigning there.

"(The closing of poll sites)
is extremely unfair for candi

The last time an election
was overturned was in 1998.
when. as now. a number of the
polls were closed. Roughly a
month after the first election.
a second one was held

Hayes said that even if the

he said.

ing for people to work the
polls. which cost $204. accord-
ing to Kernel records.

()range said the $181.50 fig-
ure was based on a report done
before these ads were placed.
The report was composed by
Tony Stoeppel. chairman of
the Operations and Evalua
tions (“,omniittee.

The ad features three pie
charts representing the per-
cent of expenses in SG opera-
tions and student services for
each of the last three years.
The charts indicate that this
year 80 has spent 6 percent
more on student services and 6
percent less on operations
compared to last year, In an
interview with the Kernel on
Tuesday. Stoeppel said the
numbers were miscalculated

Robinson said the fact that
the ad contained wrong infor-
mation would negate any ben-
efit it might have had on his
campaign.

He said that if he had
wanted to use 80 funds to buy
an ad. he could have just as
easily taken the money from
his executive fund. and placed
an ad listing the accomplish-
ments of SC in the past year

“If it was in me to use an
ad to influence the electorate. I
would have found a much
more effective way than just a
couple of pie charts." Robin-
son said. "But I didn't think it
would be appropriate."

The claim will be re
viewed by 80 election investi»
gator Mike Hamilton. a third

year law student. who will
then consider if it merits a
hearing by the Election Board
of Claims,

"I won‘t lie and say it's as

“l'ni sure it's embarrassing
when something like black
