Republicans Will Crash Brunner's Election Party
This is not confirmed yet, but rumors have it that Republicans will hold a Senate hearing on their proposed changes to election law on the same day that Secretary of State had invited election experts down to talk about reform of Ohio Election Law. I have heard that in this lame duck session, the Republicans are going to host a hearing on December 2 to talk about their proposal to "reform" Ohio election law. This is the exact day that Brunner called her "election summit" to work out a plan for improvement for 2009. Now, NEOCH did not get invited to the Brunner summit. I guess she does not like being sued, ignoring our calls for a settlement and then losing in court. We will certainly be at the Republican hearing to tell them that their proposed legislation is not only disenfranchising, but illegal. They crafted legislation in 2006, and did not listen to activists who said that the law would not work. Then they sued because they did not like the law that they passed on their own. Now, they are back at the table proposing laws that will easily be challenged. Will they ever learn? I hope Strickland vetoes this desperate power grab.
