(Columbus) - Ohio Republican Party Chairman Bob Bennett issued the following statement today regarding court rulings on the issue of same-day registration:
"We believe the law is very clear on this issue, so naturally we're disappointed in these rulings. The courts have decided to uphold same-day registration, and we we will respect that decision. I continue to believe public opinion is with us. The last time same-day registration was put before the people of Ohio, they overwhelmingly rejected it.
This is a win for Jennifer Brunner's partisan efforts to aide the Democrat turnout strategy. Fortunately, the federal court overturned her attempts to shut out observers and conduct the absentee voting process without public scrutiny. We will continue to fight the Secretary of State's partisan maneuvering in this election, and we will win in spite of it."
