| Description | A challenge of Democratic U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland’s residency that would keep him from voting on Election Day has been sent to his rival in the governor’s race: Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell.
The challenge filed by Jacquelyn Long, a registered Democrat who supports the Republican Blackwell for governor, alleges that Strickland does not live at the Lisbon address where he is registered to vote in his eastern Ohio congressional district.
Long, of East Liverpool, contends that Strickland and his wife, Frances, only rent the apartment over his congressional offices and have declared permanent residency for tax purposes in their condominium in Columbus. A determination against the Stricklands would prevent them from voting Nov. 7.
The Columbiana County Board of Elections voted 2-2 Thursday along party lines over whether to hold a hearing to decide a complaint. |
