The Columbus Dispatch editorial today calls out Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner for being more partisan than her predecessor:
The battles over election rules underline the need for Ohio to have an impartial referee at the
top for election disputes. The 88 county boards are evenly bipartisan, but as long as the state's
chief elections official is an elected officeholder from one of the two major parties, there are
going to be difficulties. This was apparent when Republican J. Kenneth Blackwell was secretary of
state during the 2004 election, and it is even more apparent this year, with Brunner holding the
office.
