Where is the Plain Dealer?

Updates on Voting Case

The Columbus Dispatch, my least favorite paper, has had stories three days of this last week about the provisional ballot court case against Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. Saturday's story is here, and Fridays story is here. This is an important story about how to count provisional ballots in Ohio, but we have not seen any stories in the Plain Dealer in the last two weeks. Why not? The judge in the case will decide if the case stays in Federal court or goes back to the Ohio Supreme Court on Monday morning. The case could decide the winner of the 15th Congressional district to the House of Representatives in Columbus. Out of the 26,000 provisional ballots there are nearly 1,000 that apparently had some kind of poll worker error and could be disqualified. It seems like an important story for Ohio.

Plus, the Columbus Dispatch has stopped using the Coalition's name in their coverage of this court case referring to us as a Cleveland homeless advocacy coalition. We were stripped of our name in the Columbus paper. Please Plain Dealer editors, write about this story so that NEOCH can get its name back.
