On December 7, an attorney representing the Ohio Libertarian and Green Parties filed complaints with the IRS against two 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, the Cleveland City Club and the University of Dayton.  The University of Dayton is a private Roman Catholic University.  Organizations with 501(c)(3) status are not permitted to sponsor candidate debates if there are no objective criteria for determining who should be invited, and in the three Ohio gubernatorial general election debates of 2018, these sponsors issued no objective criteria.  They could have had objective criteria that would have resulted in the same outcome (only the Republican and Democratic nominees might have met the criteria), but they didn’t even bother to do set criteria.  Furthermore, they invited the Republican and Democratic nominees and didn’t even reveal this to the Green and Libertarian nominees.
