[14] [15] Uible went on to win the general election in November 2012 defeating his Democratic opponent, Len Harding, 67.54% to 32.46.

The effort was orchestrated by Uible through the Clermont County Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB). In August 2018 the Clermont County Board of County Commissioners approved a 1% lodging tax designed to bring the new soccer facility to Clermont County.

[18] Formerly, Uible served as both a Clermont County commissioner and as a member of the county's visitors bureau.

Two weeks before the election a state Republican central committee member filed for an investigation accusing Uible of forging the Republican voter guide, which resulted in newspaper stories [23] and media headlines. [24] The Clermont County prosecutor refused to prosecute Uible, however the State Attorney General got a grand jury to indicted Uible on charges including forgery, fraud, falsification and tampering. [25] [26] The case was tried before Clermont County Common Pleas Judge McBride who wrote in his decision on December 8, 2021 [27] that the State of Ohio failed to show where any of the alleged crimes took place, one critical element that must be established beyond a reasonable doubt for any conviction. Because the venue requirement was never met the court would not address the charges of tampering with evidence and falsification. Additionally, Judge McBride stated that the State presented insufficient evidence that Uible committed forgery, since the voter guide Uible was accused of printing was downloaded from the Republican Party's website where the Party encourage its members to copy and share it with colleagues, family members and friends. Regarding the fraud charge, Judge McBride wrote that there was no evidence that Uible caused some detriment to another and he certainly received no financial gain. In conclusion, Judge McBride acquitted Uible of all ten charges in the indictment. [28]
