Ohio Completed...

I've been corresponding with Brandi Seskes for approximately a week now. Today wrapped up our correspondence, as I've obtained (or will obtain) all the documents I've requested from them. Here is Ms. Seskes final email to me:

Dear Mr. Riggs,

You have requested a copy of Form No. 1-A as filed by all presidential candidates appearing on the November 4, 2008 general election ballot. Form 1-A, if required, would have been filed on or before January 4, 2008 (60 days prior to the day of the primary election). All of the forms filed for the 2008 presidential primary election have been boxed up and sent to our off-site storage. I have requested that the boxes be delivered back to our elections department. Once we receive them, we will go through them and locate any 1-A forms.

Please note that only those presidential primary candidates who sought matching funds were required to file a form 1-A (or 1-B). Form 1-A is not a form that Barack Obama would have been required to file with this office (he did not seek matching funds).

In a previous email, you asked what was required of Barack Obama. I have attached the 2008 Ohio Presidential Guide, which is published by this office. Please see page 9 for an explanation of how a presidential candidate appears on the Democratic presidential primary ballot in Ohio.

I hope to email any form 1-As to you by next week.

Sincerely,
Brandi Laser Seskes
Elections Counsel,
Office of Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner

I wish to thank the Ohio Secretary of State's office for their cooperation - I found them to be prompt and accomodating in my interaction with them.
