I always thought that convicted felons could not vote. I even heard on a national talk show a guy joking about felons not being able to vote. A friend of mine convicted for non-payment of child support thinks he cannot vote.
Sylvania, OH – House District 46 candidate Darlene Dunn and the Ohio Democratic Party have recently released television and printed ad campaigns against State Representative Barbara Sears that claim Rep.

Fairfield City and school district leaders have "condemned" the actions of a Fairfield resident who last week displayed a ghost with Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's name on it — hanging from a tree by a noose.
The question of when "Joe the Plumber’’ would hit the road for John McCain has finally been answered — Tuesday.
The "Joe the Plumber" Tour, featuring Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher," is expected to make its first stop in Columbus Tuesday morning and then head west toward Dayton and then south to Cincinnati.
