Even if he doesn't, he's close to being the undisputed holder of the title in Ohio — and has certainly surpassed Ken Blackwell as the most despicable secretary of state Ohio has seen in over half a century.
The Ohio Democratic Party has posted audio of Husted speaking to a Tea Party group, telling them that Ohio's voter ID laws aren't "onerous" enough and that the legislature will likely "tighten" the rules after the election, eliminating some forms of ID people have gotten used to presenting in the six years since voter ID was enacted in Ohio.
These will make you want to hurl — or to hurl something at Husted. What a disgrace to the state and to American democracy this man is.
