Ohio
Perhaps is would be a good thing to go ahead an familiarize ourselves with the members of the Ohio state goverment before next week.
Republican Governor Bob Taft is in the middle of his second term. His father and his grandfather were both US Senators, which I guess means the family is in a slow decline, as his great-grandfather was president and chief justice of the United States.
Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has served as mayor of Cincinnati, an undersecretary in the US Housing and Urban Development, and ambassador to the UN Human Rights Commission, as well as becoming the first African-American elected to statewide office in Ohio in 1994, when he was elected state treasury. He's on the board of directors of the National Taxpayers Union. His office oversees the elections and the relevant recount proceedures are found here.
The seven members of the Supreme Court of Ohio are elected. I concluded that 2 seemed like Democrats and 2 seemed like Republicans, with three undecided. Justice Francis E. Sweeney played football with the Ottawa Rough Riders from 1956-58.
While there are numerous reasons to wonder about the Ohio election, one that caught my eye today was how at least two counties--Franklin (that's Columbus) and Mahoning (that's Youngstown)--have more registered voters than people over the age of 18 living in the county. (I do not know how people living overseas (or overlake as it were) are accounted for in this.) On the other hand, the number of registered voters in Hamilton County (that's Cincinnati) as actually declined from 2000 to 2004 by more than 65,000 voters.
