The Ohio SOS publication both in hard copy from the Web as well as the hard copy brochure - both entitled:
"WHEN YOU VOTE BRING I.D." is encountering a critical obstruction in distributing this to the public. The fly in the ointment involves:
OHIO SOS ADVISORY 2008 - 12 DATED JULY 23, 2008.
Corrections to the "When You Vote Bring ID" hasn't been incorporated into the publication. The corrections that need to be made concern Amended House Bill 562 .
The Hamilton County, Ohio BOE (namely Sally Krisel, the Director of the Hamilton County Ohio BOE and Diane Goldsmith, Voter Registration Department Administrator) said they couldn't give out incorrect "When You Vote Bring I.D." brochures. They handed me the above Advisory. I pointed out the Advisory doesn't forbid distribution although the Advisory states "In a forthcoming directive, your office will receive more detailed information about military identification cards and other acceptable forms of identification." They were consulting with eachother back and forth. Diane Goldsmith directed another employee to: blot out with a black marker part of the 5th item on page 2 of the above brochure so that it read:
"A MILITARY IDENTIFICATION THAT SHOWS THE VOTER'S NAME OR"
5th item of page 2 of the publication "When You Vote Bring ID"
The employee performed Diane Goldsmith's instructions and I was permitted to leave the Hamilton County Ohio BOE with 50 of the hard shiny brochures as per above which the employee had to personally change.
However, as of the time of this email, the problem hasn't been attended to for the online brochures neither in the printable form of the brochures nor in the shiny hard brochures. The order form is still accessible.
The brochure itself is coded SOS 2212 (03/08). That code is located on the 2nd page lower left of the publication "When You Vote Bring ID" directly above the logo of the VOTING RIGHTS INSTITUTE."
I now understand why I ordered 50 hard shiny copies of "When You Vote Bring ID" on or about August 4, 2008 and they never arrived.
On Monday, August 11, 2008 I received in the U.S. mail a PUBLICATION NOTICE without a date and without a signature. I paraphrase this item on the letterhead of Jennifer Brunner, Ohio Secretary of State:
Please note we were unable to fill your entire request of the following publication(s):
