Supreme Court puts Constitution Party AG candidate on ballot
There’ll be a four-way race for Ohio attorney general this year.
On Thursday, April 1, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner told county boards of elections to put the name of Constitution Party candidate Robert Owens on the ballot. Her action came after the Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday, in a 6-1 decision, ordered Brunner to certify Owens for the ballot.
He’ll join three other candidates - Democratic incumbent Richard Cordray, Republican Mike DeWine, the former U.S. senator from Cedarville, and Libertarian Marc Allan Feldman.
Brunner had ruled Owens off the ballot after she determined that he had submitted 481 valid signatures, fewer than the 500 required for a minor party candidate. Brunner’s decision was based on information from county boards of elections.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Franklin County Board of Elections “erred in rejecting at least the 19 signatures” that Owens needed to get on the ballot.
Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton was the only dissenter. She said that it was too late for the court to issue an order and that “we have not had sufficient time to review the issues.”
