Chisholm Distinguished Research Scholar and Professor of Law, weighed in on the Ohio Secretary of State’s fundraising request disguised as an important letter, which led to confusion among some voters. “This letter could be seen as, ‘That sort of looks sketchy,’ and maybe it’s an unfair advantage here, but isn’t really illegal,” Ellis said. |
