Ohio Congresswoman's Voter Eligibility Challenged by GOP Activist
Rep. Emilia Sykes faces a residency dispute as Ohio's Secretary of State prepares to decide her voting eligibility.
- Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes is under scrutiny after a Republican activist questioned her voter registration in Akron, Ohio.
- The Summit County Board of Elections deadlocked along party lines, sending the decision to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose.
- Despite the challenge, Sykes has already cast her early vote and remains eligible to run for re-election in Ohio's 13th District.
- The dispute arose from a form by Sykes' husband, suggesting she resides in Columbus, but she maintains her primary residence is in Akron.
- With the election just days away, a resolution is unlikely before voters head to the polls on November 5.
