COLUMBUS, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – It seems they were doing a good thing, working to get people registered to vote.
But thousands of registration forms turned in by the group Field Forward Ohio from the Cleveland and Cincinnati areas got to the Secretary of State’s office late, violating the state’s ten-day deadline.
Some of the forms were months old.
Secretary Frank LaRose notes that signatures on petitions had to be invalidated.
And of course, those folks become disenfranchised.
