New secretary of state: Don't count provisional ballots in contested vote

Cincinnati.Com:
"On his first day on the job, Republican Ohio Secretary of State John Husted ordered the Hamilton County Board of Elections to certify the race for juvenile court judge - without counting the 849 ballots that were cast in the right place but the wrong precinct and have been in question since the November election.

That supersedes former Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's directive saying that 137 of the 849 ballots must be counted. Bruner, a Democrat, issued that order Friday, her last day on the job."
