Man Says His Name Was Forged On Gay Marriage Ban Petition

Summit County Examining 100 Signatures

POSTED: 8:22 am EDT September 28, 2004

A 78-year-old Cuyahoga Falls man said his name was forged on a petition to ban gay marriage, NewsChannel5 reported.

Hilary Labbe said his name was misspelled and his address is wrong on the petition. The registered Democrat said he would never sign a petition to support the proposed amendment.

Labbe said he was stunned to get a letter from the county Republican Party last week thanking him for signing the ballot petition.

Labbe's signature is one of about 100 being examined by Summit County election officials.

The head of the Cincinnati-based group that organized the amendment drive said he's heard of suspect signatures being filed. But Phil Buress also says the group has 67,000 more signatures than needed.

The Secretary of State's office says it hasn't determined whether there are enough signatures to put it on the ballot.

The petitions were filed in a statewide bid to put an amendment banning gay marriage on the November ballot.
