The chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party has been hired on a part-time basis to help the Franklin County Board of Elections transition to a new voter registration system. Josh Jaffe, who chairs the county GOP's executive committee, started his new role this week, working up to 30 hours at $30 an hour, said David Payne, the election board's deputy director. Jaffe, 32, will oversee the switch from from the Integrity voter registration system to the Tenex system, Payne said. "Before we make a complete switch, we're going to run them parallel, and do mock elections to make sure the new Tenex system works," he said.
