Ohio's Supreme Court has ruled that Democratic state legislative candidate Tanya Conrath must be added to the ballot in November after Republicans voted to keep her off.
selected Conrath as a replacement candidate after the party's first candidate, Rhyan Goodman, ran unopposed in the primary and then requested to be removed from the fall ballot. His request came eight days after the Aug. 1 election, before results had been certified.
The glitch was that election boards had until Aug. 23 to certify primary results, but Aug. 15 was the last day the party could legally select its replacement nominee for the fall. The Athens County Democratic Party met that deadline, which wound up falling four days before Goodman's win was certified.— tied on whether Conrath's name could appear on the ballot, which punted the decision to LaRose.
She said Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, a Republican, and the court's three Democrats engaged in"a now all-too-familiar pattern of replacing what the law actually says with what the majority needs it to say to achieve the outcome it desires."OHIO DEMOCRATS WORRY TIM RYAN RUNNING 'ALL BY HIS LONESOME,' SAY WORKING WITH DC DEMS IS 'LIKE PULLING TEETH'
