The Akron Daily Journal has this editorial, saying the Ohio legislature should not force the state’s four qualified minor parties to petition for a place on the 2014 ballot. The Ohio legislature will decide on the ballot access rules this week when the legislature takes final action on SB 193.
Nice editorial, but it omits the fact that the LPO had to successfully sue again (after its success in 2006) in 2008 and 2012 to force the Secretaries of State to issue Directives placing minor parties’ and their candidates on Ohio’s ballots.
