A political newcomer is the target of a flyer circulated on social media that her supporters have called racist. L. Mialon Morris, a Democratic candidate for Summit County Court of Common Pleas judge, is depicted as a criminal on the pamphlet created by Truth Coalition PAC, which supports incumbent judge Kelly McLaughlin. The PAC’s treasurer said they “stopped dotting i’s and crossing t’s” and didn’t check the information thoroughly after they decided not to use the leaked pamphlet, which was part of some “early working concepts that we [kicked] around.”
