Ohio Republican Party chair Bob Bennett released a statement about the federal court ruiling maintaining Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's legal interpretation that allows voters to register and vote on the same day for a week beginning Tuesday.

Bennett said the ORP will continue to fight Brunner. The Associated Press reported the party has challenged the court ruling in a Columbus federal court today.

"This is a win for Jennifer Brunner's partisan efforts to aide the Democrat turnout strategy," Bennett said. "Fortunately, the federal court overturned her attempts to shut out observers and conduct the absentee voting process without public scrutiny.  We will continue to fight the Secretary of State's partisan maneuvering in this election, and we will win in spite of it."
