Sheriff: Group fighting for ‘prisoners votes’
A new battleground has emerged in the war over Ohio votes this election: Jails and prisons.
In a hearing set for 9 a.m. Tuesday in Cincinnati’s federal court, a judge will consider whether county elections boards should be stopped from enforcing a Nov. 3 absentee-ballot request deadline for people who are jailed.
Butler County Sheriff Rick Jones was incredulous when he learned that his jail warden, Lt. Nick Fisher, was served Sunday with a subpoena to appear at that hearing.
“It is well-known that Ohio is considered a crucial ‘swing state,’ so it’s natural that some will want to fight for every possible vote they can get,” Jones said. “It may be the American way, but wow, fighting for prisoner votes!”
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
