A complaint about robocalls made before the general Hancock County is going back to Columbus for a second round. Chris Hughes of the Ohio Elections Commission says the agency sent the original complaint back to the filer. Hughes says the filing cited Ohio’s “false statement” campaign law. The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled the law is unconstitutional and unenforceable.

Deborah Cook submitted the complaint in November on the behalf of Families for Safety and Security. She tells the Courier she has refiled the complaint focusing on the fact the call did not include a disclaimer about who paid for the anti-sales tax message.

The original filing alleged that TRZ Communications of Akron made robocalls on behalf of an anonymous caller against a sales tax for the proposed jail expansion.
