Lucas County's costly blunder - Sometimes I wonder if Lucas County politicians intentionally strive to be Ohio's bad joke. "The Lucas County Board of Elections has been barred by Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell from buying new voting equipment for the November election. His order forces the county to lease machines at a cost that will drain an already deflated county budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars that it would not have had to spend if the board's four members reached an agreement on which equipment to purchase."
