“I believe that Ohio law is clear and that my office has properly administered the law, just as previous Democrat and Republican Secretaries of State over the last two decades have done.

“However, upon learning that the 10th District Court of Appeals does not plan to hear an appeal on the lower court’s decision until the day before the election, even if we were to prevail, there is no effective way to responsibly make the changes necessary to implement an orderly election.

“Our elections system needs more stability and less chaos. This last minute legislating from the bench on election law has to stop.

“As a result, we will not proceed with an appeal on this decision and I will direct all county boards of elections later this evening to comply with the court order.”


He is such as a$$hat but I do agree with him, we need to keep the judiciary out of elections...can we do that retroactively to 2000??? Please. Pretty please ???
