To: Jon Husted, Secretary of State

Secretary Husted: Reinstate board of election members

Secretary of State Husted, you said you found no pleasure in firing Thomas Ritchie, Sr., and Dennis Lieberman for not rescinding their votes to add weekend voting hours. Now that you have agreed not to challenge the federal judge who agreed with their vote, we ask that you reinstate them so they can continue the service you thanked them for doing.

Why is this important?

Secretary of State Husted fired Thomas Ritchie, Sr. and Dennis Lieberman for not rescinding their votes to add weekend voting hours. But he said he found no pleasure in doing so. Now, a federal judge has upheld their votes and Secretary Husted has agreed not to challenge that decision. Secretary Husted should reinstate them, so they can continue their service to Ohio.
