The Columbus Dispatch offers this report, which begins: “Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and Attorney General Marc Dann want to resolve election-related lawsuits filed against former Secretary J. Kenneth Blackwell, a move Brunner said yesterday could cost the state ‘large sums’ in attorneys’ fees. The 20 pending lawsuits include a sweeping complaint filed in 2005 by a group of advocates led by the League of Women Voters of Ohio that says Blackwell, former Gov. Bob Taft and their predecessors failed to ensure Ohioans’ right to vote. Brunner and Dann said they’re seeking to resolve the cases in part because some date back to the 2004 election, but also because they agree with some of the claims.” More information at the Moritz Election Law page.
