CINCINNATI (AP) - The Ohio Democratic Party has asked to be included as a plaintiff in a federal complaint filed by a Republican voter over provisional ballots.
It seeks uniform standards for counting provisional ballots in Ohio's 88 counties and said Blackwell had failed in his duty to provide county elections boards with instructions to ensure those ballots are counted properly.
Democrats argue in their motion that the party should be allowed to intervene because it has "an interest in seeing that all legitimate votes cast in the election are counted, from county to county, using consistent standards.''

Last month, the Ohio Honest Elections Campaign called for five forums to be held around the State so that candidates for ODP Chair could be interviewed before the May primaries.
The losing tactics of the Ohio Democratic Party are still firmly in place; the status quo was successfully entrenched with the selection of Chris Redfern as ODP Chair.
The ODP needs a full-time, in-town executive, with the doors unlocked and the offices running Monday thru Friday, 9-5, at the minimum.  It seems Ohio Democrats will have to wait a little longer for a leader who champions grassroots causes, rather than convicted election thieves.

I watched while Democrats in meeting after meeting nodded their head in eager approval of how important the reform amendments were, while never once lifting a finger to do something about it.
One of two things must happen, either the Democrats must organize into a decent opposition party or they must be destroyed and we split the Republicans into moderate and conservative wings.
Look at what is going on there and you will see, both parties are all about laziness and apathy and less about action and living up to their principles the rank and file believe in.

The result: The Republican stranglehold on Ohio's six constitutional offices seems as tight as ever heading into the 2002 election and time is drawing short for the Democrats to put up or shut up for another four years.
And the Democrats, cursed with ineffective leadership at the top in state chairman David Leland, make it easy for the Republicans by sitting out or offering feckless opposition that would have to go some to be called token.
Underscoring the Democrats' statewide futility is the fact that the mayors of Ohio's eight largest cities are all Democrats, yet the best the party can do, at least so far, is Tim Hagan for governor.
