That slimy car dealer Tom Ganley, a self-funding teabagging millionaire who is trying to buy progressive congresswoman Betty Sutton’s seat (Oh-13), has been accused of sexual assault by a former supporter isn’t the only big story escaping from Ohio today. There’s another one with potentially greater impact on home owners, mortgage holders, and the entire residential real estate market.
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has asked Department of Justice to investigate the way mortgage documents have been notarized and has suggested that that could possible make the whole foreclosure process in Ohio illegal.
Her interest is two-fold: the Secretary of State’s office licenses notaries, and foreclosure and eviction affect people’s ability to vote. She has already issued a directive to deal with the latter.
She has posted on her SOS website about what she is doing and why:
