SECRETARY OF STATE HUSTED RESPONDS TO CUYAHOGA COUNTY EXECUTIVE’S STATEMENTS
COLUMBUS – The following may be attributed in whole, or in part, to Secretary of State Jon Husted regarding today’s statements by Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald.
"Mr. FitzGerald's accusations are laughable.
"It is important that voters in all 88 counties be given equal access to a ballot and I will work to uphold that standard, even in the face of rogue actors like Mr. Fitzgerald.
"Let me provide reassurance and be perfectly clear, every legal absentee ballot application received by boards of elections will be processed and a ballot will be sent."
