Ohio State Senator Marc Dann, who is running for attorney general, held a press conference in Cleveland this morning to announce that he has filed an amicus brief on behalf of Democratic members of the Ohio legislature. It supports Project Voter's request for an injunction barring Secretary of State/Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell's suppressive interpretation of the voter registration regulations laid out in HB 3 passed earlier this year. This is the same legislation that imposed ID requirements on Ohio voters.
But a little something else was buried in that bill that may come back to bite Republicans. It gives the attorney general power to investigate and prosecute election fraud with a SIX YEAR statute of limitations. As in Democratic attorney general (Dann) elected in November = investigation of 2004 election in Ohio!
