CINCINNATI - Hamilton County Republican leaders say they can't force a prosecutor accused of sexual harassment to drop his bid for re-election.

Prosecutor Mike Allen's name is the only one that will appear on the November ballot, since Democrats did not field a candidate.

GOP party leaders met Wednesday afternoon to discuss their predicament.

"The reality is Mike's on the ballot, and we're stuck with that," Clerk of Courts Greg Hartmann said Wednesday. "It's just a difficult situation that we've been put in."

Allen, a former county GOP chairman, has resigned as head of the Bush-Cheney campaign in southwest Ohio but has said he will not resign as prosecutor. County Chairman Michael Barrett said he has not asked Allen to step down.
