Senate Bill 238 reduced from 35 to 29 the number of days before the election that voters can cast absentee ballots by mail or in person. This eliminated the so-called Golden Week, the overlap between the start of early voting and the close of voter registration 30 days before the election.

During these days, voters could register to vote and immediately cast a ballot that would be later counted if the new voter’s eligibility checked out.

The shorter time frame was used for the first time in the 2014 gubernatorial election.

What they had the first time Obama ran was insanity. At the end of summer, there was this short interval of time when all kinds of register-to-vote gimmicks....parties, concerts, etc were used to get people downtown to register, and at the same time let them cast their votes! The "golden week" was a scam to accrue the votes of totally uninformed and disinterested new voters.

I'm glad that's over. It made a farce out of voting in OH. JMHO

People prove that they DON'T WANT TO VOTE if they are not willing to go to the minor trouble of meeting requirements.

Of course, this is a sham. The lax rules that democrats push for is to enable illegal voting.

This decision is a win for Trump. It’s a loss for the Wicked Witch and the GOPe. Now Trump has an even better chance of winning Ohio.

Another plus for FREEP!

I had to read FREEP to know that the Toledo Blade announced a great ruling in my city of Cincinnati; and, I didn’t even see it in my local rag here.

Eliminate early voting all together! Absentee balloting if you are out of town. Everyone else, make it a priority to vote on Election Day. They don’t have early voting in New York...get rid of it here!
