On September 11, an Ohio State Court of Appeals kept an anti-smoking initiative off the ballot, because some of the circulators answered a question improperly. A new Ohio law requires petition circulators to fill out a form, telling the name of their employer, if they are paid to circulate. Some of the circulators wrote that their employer was the American Cancer Society, which was sponsoring the initiative. Technically, however, the American Cancer Society had contracted with a paid petitioning firm to collect the signatures, so the true employer was that paid petitioning firm. In re Protest of Evans, 06-ap-539-548. The cae is being appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court.
