The opinion
Pfeifer, J.,
concurring.
{¶ 35} I concur in judgment. However, I believe this court should simply overrule State ex rel. Canales-Flores v. Lucas Cty. Bd. of Elections, 108 Ohio St.3d 129 , 2005-Ohio-5642 , 841 N.E.2d 757 . Its holding was as wrong as its dicta.
Lundberg Stratton, J., concurs in the foregoing opinion.
