State to notify felons that they can vote in November

Associated Press


CLEVELAND - The state has agreed to inform 34,000 felons on parole and probation that they are allowed to vote in the November election to settle a lawsuit against elections officials around Ohio.

The lawsuit filed last month by prisoner-rights advocates accused elections officials in 21 counties of giving misleading information about felons' voting rights.

Testers identifying themselves as felons telephoned elections officials in all 88 Ohio counties to ask how they could register to vote, said David Singleton, an attorney for the Prison Reform Advocacy Center.

In Ohio, felons can vote as long as they are no longer in prison.

5. GOP Crime Spree!!!

GOP: Vice City
Locked, loaded, and ready for action! Join Ohio's Republican leaders on the crime spree of the century!


They've racked up more indictments than the Gotti family. They've been the target of more investigations, grand juries, and special prosecutors than the Teamsters and Bill Clinton combined. They're the leaders of Ohio's Republican Party, and they're the roughest, rowdiest band of criminals and ne'er-do-wells our state has ever seen!
Every time you turn around, some Ohio leader is racing from the state treasury in a hail of bullets, sacks of cash under his arms. To make it even more confusing, Ohio's Republican Mafiosi can't sit still. They play a perpetual game of musical chairs, shuffling between attorney general, auditor, and secretary of state, everybody jockeying to someday become godfather . . . er, governor.

The list of Republican scandals is so long, it's tough to keep track of them all. That's why we compiled this easy-to-use guide. Can't remember whether the latest scam involves the legislation-selling senator or the treasury-raiding "anti-tax advocate"? Look no further. As a public service, we present Ohio's Most Wanted.
