The 18th Congressional District race has become ugly, and a non-partisan group saying a nevative ad launched last week by incumbent Zack Space is unfair.
Space, D-Dover, began airing the ad against opponent and state Sen. Bob Gibbs, R-Lakeville, last week. He accuses Gibbs of “voting himself a pay raise” and lying about his record as a tax cutter.
But the non-partisan Web site FactCheck.org issued a critical report on the ad, accusing Space of lying on one point and being deceptive on two others.
Gibbs' campaign filed an official complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission. Today the commission will decide if the case will proceed. However, even if Space is found to be in violation of Ohio's election law, it's highly unlikely there will be serious consequences.
