Republican Jon Husted, Ohio Secretary of State-elect, is already being Jon Husted.
WHIOtv:
Ohio's next elections chief is raising the possibility of a later date for the state's presidential primary in 2012, now scheduled for March 6.
Incoming Secretary of State Jon Husted said county elections boards worry it might take too long for state lawmakers to redraw Ohio's congressional districts. The Republican told The Columbus Dispatch the local officials are concerned about having enough time to prepare for the 2012 primary.
Husted said it might have to be moved if the drawing of new district lines isn't completed by Dec. 7 of this year -- the deadline for primary hopefuls to file candidacy petitions.....
If elected Ohio Republicans would actually work more that three days per week, they might get something done.
> A story in the Dispatch indicates that Jon Husted, incoming Ohio Secretary of State, has recruited Matthew Damschroder to serve within his department. Anyone who has followed elections in Ohio knows Matthew Damschroder's name. Let me refresh your memory....
Toledo Blade (7/19/05):
The Franklin County Board of Elections yesterday docked its executive director a month's pay for accepting a $10,000 check in his office last year from a Diebold Inc. consultant seeking county business.
Matt Damschroder accepted the check on behalf of the county Republican Party.....
That Matt Damschroder!
