The Ohio Supreme Court this morning dismissed a request by state Sen. Kevin Coughlin that the court intervene in the battle for control of the Summit County Republican Party.
Coughlin is attempting to unseat party Chairman Alex Arshinkoff by gaining a majority on the party's central committee.
Coughlin had asked the court to dismiss his request last week.
His complaint asked the court to certify seven central committee candidates that the Summit County elections board had disqualified from the March 4 ballot because of alleged petition problems.
The action also asked the court to allow 16 other contested central committee candidates filed by Coughlin to appear on the ballot.
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is soon expected to rule on whether the 16 central committee candidates should be allowed on the ballot.
If Brunner disqualifies these candidates, Coughlin said he might refile with the Supreme Court on this issue.
The central committee must meet 60 days after the election to decide the party's leadership.
