Ohio GOP Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine had plenty to say in response:
"Jennifer Brunner is the only one in this election instilling fear in Ohio voters about whether they will be able to cast a ballot, and now she's raising doubts about the integrity of the entire voting process.When the Ohio ACLU says you're wearing the Donkey's jersey, it's time to come off the field...
Gov. Strickland was conveniently silent while Secretary Brunner used valuable state tax dollars to disenfranchise thousands of Ohio voters, and now we're expected to believe he's suddenly concerned about protecting them.
The governor had a chance to be a statesman in this debate and work toward common ground in addressing the concerns of everyone involved, but he can't tear himself away from the worn-out Democrat talking points that have about as much validity as an ACORN registration.
The courts clearly said that no one will be disenfranchised by providing a process of validating questionable voter forms. In fact, they said Ohioans would have greater confidence that their vote is not being canceled out by a fraudulent ballot.
Perhaps Gov. Strickland should spend less time on the campaign trail and more time dealing with Ohio's highest unemployment rate in nearly 20 years."
