Ohio: Double voters hold the balance in a school tax election
AP reports: A couple in a neighboring county who admitted to voting twice on Election Day could be forced to reveal how they cast their ballots in the disputed, single-vote defeat of a proposed school income tax, the school district's attorney said.
"Not going to happen," replied Madison County Prosecutor Stephen Pronai on Tuesday. "I'm not going to force them to testify as to how they voted."
London City Schools, about 25 miles west of Columbus, will challenge the election results in Madison County Common Pleas Court, attorney Terrence N. O'Donnell said on Tuesday. ...
"We will argue that the Board Of Elections had a duty to certify the correct election result," O'Donnell said. "The court has broad authority to fashion a remedy."
Wilbur France, 79, and Rebecca France, 76, of London, voted by absentee ballot in October and at the polls on Nov. 2. Pronai said they had called the elections board and were told their absentee ballots were lost. Their names do not appear on the absentee list, but the board does have the envelopes in which they returned ballots, he said. -- 2 double voters hold key to school income tax's fate
