The opinion
Pfeifer, J.,
dissenting.
{¶ 51} The time to establish Monty Lobb’s authority to break the tie in this election matter was at the time the letter was written. The secretary of state cannot use this prohibition action to fix an error that was made in the October 3, 2006 letter. The Lobb letter, which established no authority for him to make the tie-breaking ruling, was void on its face. I would affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
