"In a related issue, the head of the commission created to help states enact the 2002 federal voting law has called on Blackwell to stop saying the commission agrees with his position.

Blackwell contends that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, in an Oct. 12 resolution, backs his contention that ballots cast at the wrong place can't be counted.

Blackwell is misapplying the commission's position, DeForest Soaries, the commission's chairman, said Wednesday. The commission asked Blackwell in a letter Tuesday to refrain from characterizing the commission's resolution "as an endorsement of your actions."

Soaries responded that Blackwell was the only secretary of state in the country to misinterpret the resolution.

"We've sent on behalf of the federal government $90 million to Ohio," Soaries said Wednesday. "Since we have sent $90 million to Ohio, Ken Blackwell and his staff have 90 million reasons to care about our opinion."
