ACORN stays out of Butler County
Amid the local and national hubbub of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) allegedly registering unqualified voters, Butler County elections officials say the advocacy group was not active here.
One of the steps outlined in that story is not going ahead though. That step includes taking a cross-check of all new voter registrations against the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration (which the state does) and communicating it to local boards of election (which the state does not do).
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner announced today she is appealing a ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court that would force her to communicate suspicious registrations to local boards of election.
The suit that she lost was brought by the Ohio Republican party.
Who do you think is right? Brunner or the GOP?

Ms. Brunner should want to report any suspicious voters in this great state. I’d like to read her reasons for not wanting to do this. It’s best to be safe…
