		<description><![CDATA[Scott Mesneak, the former IT director for Cecil County who was removed from his job by County Executive Alan McCarthy and has been an active campaigner for Danielle Hornberger in her election bid to unseat McCarthy, was recently given a seat on the county Board of Elections that will supervise the June 2 election. His selection for the seat came without a vote of the full county Republican Central Committee and apparently was the decision of the panel’s chairman, Vincent Sammons. The strong appearance of conflicts of interest, given Mesneak’s dismissal by McCarthy from a top county job, is furthered by his highly visible role in supporting Hornberger, including photos on her campaign social media pages posing with her while putting up signs for her campaign. Some prominently displayed photos show Sammons joining her and Mesneak to put up signs and promote her campaign. CECIL TIMES has contacted both state and local Board of Elections (BOE) officials over the past two days for comment on the matter and what, if any, actions they are considering to address it.

		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS We’ve seen it before in Cecil County politics: a disgruntled lone wolf creates a rump group with a name similar to a well-established organization to confuse the public and launch political attacks on the original group. So, a dissident online presence created in 2016 by conservative activist Vincent Sammons that had existed as a little-known Facebook page suddenly emerged in recent days as a “new” voice by attacking the original group whose name he co-opted. The Republican Club of Cecil County has functioned for many years as a local GOP organization that supported national, state and county Republican political candidates, held fundraising events and, until a few years ago, operated a Political Action Committee (PAC) registered with the state Board of Elections to make donations to candidates it endorsed. [The club&#8217;s &#8220;Republican Club of Cecil County PAC&#8221; operated from 2006 to 2012.] Sammons sought nomination as President of the Club in 2016, and received the support of a nominations committee, which he headed, sources said.
