U.S. Court Reinstates Early Voting In Ohio

Oh, and for all of you that were worried about early voting somehow affecting Military votes in Ohio...(which was the result of the REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED LEGISLATURE trying to suppress early voting by possible left-leaning voters...)...Here is some GOOD NEWS!!!

U.S. Court Reinstates Early Voting In Ohio

A federal appeals court on Friday reinstated in-person early voting in the swing state of Ohio on the final three days before Election Day, returning discretion to local boards of elections.

The ruling by the three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati came in a case targeting a state law that ends early voting for most residents on the Friday evening before a Tuesday election. The law makes an exception for military personnel and Ohio voters living overseas.

President Obama's campaign and Democrats sued Ohio's Secretary of State Jon Husted and Attorney General Mike DeWine, both Republicans, over the legality of the law. They argued that everyone should have a chance to vote on those days.

Husted said his office was still reviewing the 6th Circuit's decision, and that no action would be taken on Friday or this weekend.

Isn't it GREAT!! Now we can be sure that NO ONE, (military or not), gets blocked from voting.... You should be SO happy!!

The Amish are thrilled.

So are the rest of the folks that typically organize bus-trips to voting stations after church services and those kinds of activities....

Sux to be a Republican in Ohio these days, don't it?

Actually latest polls have Romney advancing to within the margin of error in the Buckeye State.
