Ohio secretary of state barred from ballot actions
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order stopping Ted W. Brown from prescribing Ohio’s November 8 ballot and from trying to “destroy or replace” the Ohio League of Women Voters. The order, signed in Toledo, covers issues including the hotly contested Issue 1 repealing the state’s new instant voter registration law. Brown defended his ballot formatting methods while Boyle and others raised objections to emphasis and text presentation.
