An Important Victory: Blackwell Loses in Court

You may remember that attorney Cliff Arnebeck, a board member of Common Cause Ohio, was threatened with sanctions for his activism concerning the recount effort and other suits related to the November 2nd, 2004, election in Ohio.

We believe that such an action (sanctioning activists for questioning the outcome of an election) would have a chilling effect on others' efforts to raise reasonable doubts about election administration and election validity -- and indeed we believe that was the intent behind the motions for sanctions, which were entered by Attorney General Petro at the official request of Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell.

Therefore, we're glad to know that Blackwell's effort failed. In an email today, Cliff sent us the good news that, "Decisions issued today denying the motions for sanctions in the elections contests we filed."

Sometimes the good guys win, even in Ohio!

4. I hope this is only the first in a long string of losses for Fraudwell

As a matter of fact, I hope that all of the Ohio rethugs go into complete meltdown & Dems sweep the next two election cycles!

6. I agree

I hope that happens. I think this is a great victory for sure and it's the first step. Hopefully by the end of the year Arnebeck can take Blackwell to court! Here's to hoping and praying!

7. Aye, that is beginning sooner than one might think....

They already are going into meltdown and turning on eachother. Judge Moyers has recused himself from the massive Ohio Rare coin scandal.....Don't be surprised at all if it leads to the heart of Ohio fraud.

14. Wow - 5 Ohio justices step down from rare-coin case

A bunch of things are happening there in Ohio...



5 Ohio justices step down from rare-coin case

Five Ohio Supreme Court justices announced today that they have recused themselves from hearing two open records lawsuits that call for disclosure of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation complete rare coin inventory.

The justices were not required to say why they recused themselves from presiding over the suits filed by The Blade and State Sen. Marc Dann, a Youngstown Democrat, asking for details of the coin fund operated by prominent Toledo-area Republican Tom Noe.
