Law Professor Mark Brown has this op-ed in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on the subject of Ohio’s faulty system for checking the validity of signatures on ballot access petitions.
His op-ed does not mention that Ohio is one of only three states this year with no minor party or independent candidates on the ballot for statewide office (for the states that have no statewide offices up this year, this comparison uses U.S. House).
Great op-ed.
It’s harder to challenge candidates seeking a ballot spot who have the option to pay a filing fee.
