Voting Rights

Why doesn't Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) want to give the right to vote to those living in Washington, DC? Pryce, according to the Washington Post, voted against legislation that would grant voting rights to residents of the District of Columbia.

The drama continues at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. With 2 elections workers already convicted and being sent to prison for rigging the counts in Cuyahoga County, the scandals continue. Ohio GOP Chair, Robert Bennett, refuses to resign his post on the election board. He still doesn't get the fact that his post is a conflict of interest. According to the Zanesville Times Recorder, Robert Bennett and Sally Florkiewicz still refuse to resign. Here is an excerpt from the Times Recorder article:

Complaints against Cuyahoga County election board members The following five complaints have been made against elections board members in Cuyahoga County by Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
