Secretary of State Jon Husted is working to make sure Ohio doesn’t become a Florida sized problem in 2012.
From Dayton Daily News:
Husted also warned the panel that unless changes are made, the heavy use of provisional ballots next year in a close presidential election in Ohio could lead to major problems.
“I am concerned that in a close election, what punch cards were to Florida in 2000, provisional ballots will be in Ohio come 2012 if we do not strike the right balance and work together to provide uniformity in the casting and counting process,” Husted said.
He testified on Senate Bill 148, sponsored by Sen. Mark Wagoner, R-Ottawa Hills. It follows Husted’s plan for overhauling the election procedures.
