Brunner won’t punt on Husted residency
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner said she is considering asking state Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, to provide more information to prove that he lives in Kettering where he votes and owns a house.
In February, the Montgomery County Board of Elections deadlocked two to two on a complaint that questioned whether Husted legally resides where he votes in Kettering.
When asked if she would “punt” on the touchy residency issue, Brunner said, “The statute says the Secretary of State shall in all cases decide tie votes at boards of elections.”
Husted has been mentioned as a candidate for secretary of state in 2010 and he has been publicly critical of Brunner’s job performance.
Husted owns a house in Kettering but his wife and children live in suburban Columbus.
