Ohio's Election Disconnect

The 2008 election is in the history books but Ohio's election troubles are not. Let's just say it's a blessing in more than one way that the presidential race was not close.

Dennis Willard calls out the politically motivated Ohio Supreme Court as well as the Republican leadership in the General Assembly. He aptly labels the never partisan interference as Ohio's insane season (worse than silly season)and offers a blunt remedy:

Then, everyone involved should put down their crayons and read Election Law for Dummies before attempting to fix the many flaws in Ohio's election law.

Step 1: Set aside vanity mirror and remove such silly technicalities as you must sign and print your name or your provisional ballot doesn't count.

Finally, for once in your political careers, heed your own rhetoric and place the needs of the voter and citizenry first.

What I can't figure out is why GOP legislators and jurists turn a blind eye to the fact that election insanity hurts voters of all political stripes. None of this critique even factors in the buffoonery on display by the Ohio Republican Party (Bennett, et al) every election cycle.
