Now that the Republicans have very little faith that they'll retain the Apportionment Board or defeat Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, Brunner's confirmed likely Republican opponent, State Senator Jon Husted, wants to scrap not only the Apportionment Board, but essentially gut the entire role of the Secretary of State in Ohio's elections.  Two proposals very similar to the RON (Reform Ohio Now, in case you forgotten) amendments that Ohio voters resoundly rejected in 2005.

Why the change of heart, Johnny?  Well, according to the Columbus Dispatch:

The Kettering Republican said yesterday that he has begun crafting and seeking political support for a November ballot initiative that would remove the secretary of state's oversight of elections and implement a new system for drawing legislative boundaries every 10 years.
