Increased efforts to require party labels in Ohio races
Spectrum News: Justin Buchler, associate professor of political science; Jonathan Entin, the David L. Brennan Professor Emeritus of Law; and Atiba Ellis, the Laura B. Chisholm Distinguished Research Scholar and professor of law, weighed in on an effort in Ohio to require more candidates to declare a party affiliation before putting their names on the ballot. A recently passed law requires certain judicial candidates to make that information known, and the latest proposal out of the Statehouse wants local school board members to be added to the list.
