Angeletta McCormick Frank has resigned as a Republican commissioner with the St. Louis Board of Elections. She is now Community Liason in the office of Sen. Jim Talent.
Frank's departure leaves only two remaining members of the normally 4-person board of commissioners, Democrat Clarence E. Dula and Republican Chairman Edward R. Martin.
"And then there were two," Martin told PUB DEF. "We are very sorry to see her leave. She's been a valuable part of the team."
He said that he would like to see the board stay as balanced as possible. That may mean that Gov. Matt Blunt will be looking to appoint a new Democrat and a Republican at the same time.
"I know Sen. (Pat) Dougherty and Sen. (Maida) Coleman have given input (on the Democratic nominee)," said Martin. "It may be that the Democrat gets processed first and we get him or her and then the Republican after that." Martin said it is his hope that both new members are in place by the end of the legislative session so that they have a full board in time for the important primary elections in August.
