The Ohio GOP press release about this issue below:

For Immediate Release Contact: John McClelland (614) 394-3456

(Columbus) - Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine called today on Gov. Ted Strickland to demand the resignation of his Athens County Democratic Party chair amid allegations of vote fraud. The Athens Post reports the party is under investigation for "scheming to pay Ohio University students $5 for each 4th Ward resident brought to the polls for early voting," prompting questions about whether money was being exchanged for votes. According to the Athens Post, prosecutor Dave Warren said, "I think it smells like the Democrats are trying to buy an election." Party Chair Susan Gwinn was recently indicted by a grand jury for money laundering and theft in office. "Gov. Strickland said he would enforce a higher standard, so he should start by demanding the resignation of his corrupt Athens County chair," said DeWine. "The governor talks a big game when it comes to cleaning up his own house, but, unfortunately, he'll probably turn a blind eye to the alleged fraud in Athens County just like he's done with the scandal in Cuyahoga County." Strickland has been silent on Gwinn's indictment, and he has refused to call for the resignation of two Cuyahoga County commissioners targeted in an FBI corruption probe, which has also implicated the treasurer of the Ohio Democratic Party. "Whether it's allegations of vote fraud in Athens or corruption in Cleveland, Ted Strickland is all talk and no action. It's kind of like saying you're going to turn around Ohio's economy but then losing 340,000 jobs."
