Appeals Court: Ohio Dems violated election law
An Ohio appeals court has ruled that the Ohio Democratic Party and state Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern violated state election law by using misleading campaign material in 2006.
In a 2-1 decision, the 10th District Court of Appeals on Thursday, Aug. 21, cited “clear and convincing evidence” that the Democrats made false statements by illegally misrepresenting its candidates as incumbents.
“This ruling is a victory for fair and honest elections in Ohio,” Ohio Republican Chairman Bob Bennett said in a press release. “You can’t twist Ohio’s election laws to write your own rules, whether its lying on campaign material or distributing absentee ballots illegally in 2008.”
The ruling upheld earlier decisions from the Ohio Elections Commission and the Franklin County Common Pleas Court in Columbus.
The Ohio Democratic Party intends to appeal the ruling to the Ohio Supreme Court, Democratic Party spokesman Alex Goepfert said.

And Blackwell certainly violated some laws in ‘04. Including, but not limited to, not understanding the concept of separation of church and state. McCain will lose in November. So, who cares?By Jeff

I’m sure this story will get buried when it comes time for the democrats to claim that McCain stole the election from Obama.
