Candidate Drops Constitutional Lawsuit Against Age Restriction for City Council

On October 3, Brett McClafferty, who is age 21, said he will drop his lawsuit to overturn a city ordinance that requires candidates to be at least age 23 to be on the City Council. He had filed it on September 24, 2009. The Streetsboro, Ohio election is on November 3, 2009, and early voting had already started by the time of the first hearing in the case. U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Lioi had already ruled she would not stop early voting. The case was McClafferty v Portage County Board of Elections. See this story.
