Mandamus Sought Over Australian Voting System in Ohio
In Columbus October 5 a mandamus petition is filed in the Ohio Supreme Court by James H. Thomas against David K. Watson to compel the Attorney General to start quo warranto actions against the Franklin County Election Board testing the constitutionality of the Australian voting method. Thomas, a Highland County resident, asks for the petition to detail and add constitutional objections, seeks other relief and costs, and attaches a letter explaining his reasons. The aim is a pre election ruling as mock voting suggests 5 to 10 percent may lose votes under the new system.
