Reply #101: That is what is so confusing. OH law, seemingly, allows controversies to

extend BEYOND the federal safe harbor date (see my post #55). You are quoting Federal law. So, as I read that, it would appear that in OH, the law does not concern itself with the safe harbor date. After all, if OH law allows controversies to be PRESENTED way after the safe harbor deadline (a petitioner can submit a contest for up to 15 days after the certification, which puts it 9 days after the safe harbor date), then it HAS NOT provided "for final determination of contests or controversies by a law made prior to election day." The OH law, in fact, ALLOWs for the continuation of controversies and contests for a period that extends for a long time AFTER the safe harbor. Right?

I'm not an attorney. I only am able to read these things and interpret them logically. Unfortunately, the logical interpretation is not necessarily the same as the legal interpretation. :(

Any election law attorneys on DU?
