(Toledo, OH) Lucas County Board of Elections members are being ordered to turn over records of a so-called "backroom deal" over the board's leadership.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is investigating the board's deadlock on naming a director and deputy director, citing evidence of secret negotiations between members and Lucas County Republican Party leaders.
Husted's strongly-worded letter gives the elections board until tomorrow to provide written copies of all emails and text messages related to the investigation.
