Feb. 29, Interview - Project Vote is has filed a suit against Ohio for failing to provide voter registration forms at welfare offices. In their report, Project Vote says this has greatly reduced the number of low-income people registering to vote. In 1995, following the law, Ohio registered 100,000 people from welfare offices. That number decreased dramatically to just about 40,000 people in 2005.

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner says the former Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell (who is involved in numerous lawsuits and is on the verge of being subpoenaed by Congress because of Ohio's disastrous 2004 election) he felt it wasn't his responsibility to provide voter registration at welfare office . Brunner says she thinks that the Secretary of State can "enhance that service." Brunner says the State Legislature has called for a measure that would allow change of addresses of welfare recipients to occur automatically.

As for providing services directly at welfare offices, Brunner says Ohio "doesn't have the resources." She says "We'll use whatever resources we have," but "that it may be a longer term project."
