Watchdog: Richmond elections office wasted money on high-end sofas, gun, and unnecessary bodyguards

A report from Richmond's Office of the Inspector General said swivel chairs, leather sofas, and oak filing cabinets bought from LaDiff were a waste of taxpayer dollars.

The article from Richmond.com discusses a report by Richmond's Office of the Inspector General concerning allegations of fraud and abuse within the Richmond Office of Elections. The investigation, which was initiated after concerns raised by the Richmond Electoral Board, focused on the actions of Elections Director Keith Balmer. The report found no evidence of fraud or abuse but highlighted several areas where Balmer's management practices could be improved, including better communication with the Electoral Board and more transparency in operations. It also noted that while there were no legal violations, some of Balmer's decisions, like the handling of voter registration and election day logistics, could benefit from clearer guidelines and oversight. The Inspector General recommended policy changes to enhance accountability and efficiency in the elections office.
