Cleveland Plain Dealer column:“That’s why all those Democratic lawsuits aimed at purported GOP schemes to limit voting by Democrat-leaning Ohioans aren’t just about maximizing Democratic turnout in Ohio (though that’s Object One). Also in play, as previously observed here, seems to be an Object Two — “building a record” for post-presidential-election Ohio recounts or lawsuits. And you know Ohio is super-close already; otherwise, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney wouldn’t be here so often. So Ohio could see the kind of wrangling that erupted after the Bush-Gore election 12 years ago. In that case, Ohio Democrats would surely brandish pre-Nov. 6 lawsuits (and victories) to prove (alleged) GOP vote-rigging in Ohio. Democrats also appear to have an Object Three — a calculated bid to trash Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted as an investment in future campaigns.”
