CLEVELAND -- There is a call for change Cuyahoga County Board of Elections following the events of Tuesday's election, and that call is coming from two key Ohio Democrats.

The head of Ohio's Democratic party and Cuyahoga County's prosecutor said they have had enough with the voting problems, and when both should have been celebrating victories Wednesday, they instead went on the attack, reported 5 On Your Side's Duane Pohlman.

"For anyone to suggest that the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has done their job well is akin to sticking your head in the sand," said Chris Redfern, the head of the Ohio Democratic Party.

In Columbus, Redfern took direct aim at Cuyahoga County for what he called numerous problems with voting.

"There is change that is desperately needed," Redfern said.

Cuyahoga County prosecutor Bill Mason was more direct.

"I think it's time that we clean house down there. We have to get rid of the board, get rid of the members that are making these types of bad decisions, and bring in some professionals who can handle an election process," Mason said.

Cuyahoga County Board of Elections Director Michael Vu defended his staff's handing of Tuesday's election.

"We were on the front lines yesterday, and I think we did a fairly good and effective job," Vu said.

Board Chairman Bob Bennett also defended what happened.

"I think Michael Vu, Gwen Dillingham, and I think the entire staff did an outstanding job in bringing this election together," he said.

Problems were reported at 43 polling locations, and a federal judge ordered 16 of those locations to stay open late. On Wednesday, a memory card filled with uncounted votes was finally tracked down.

Vu refused to fire back at the Democrats; instead, he questioned the motives behind the attacks.

"Their words speak for themselves. I'd be more than happy to speak with them, one on one or together as a group, and speak through the issues they may have," said Vu.

That may not happen anytime soon, because the subtext is about Vu and his future as the BOE's director, Pohlman reported.

Vu said he will stay until the vote is certified. After that, his position is unknown.
