COLUMBUS - A federal judge on Thursday suspended Ohio's new voter identification law for early voting already under way, saying the state's 88 counties are inconsistently applying the rule for people filling out absentee ballots.
U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley granted the temporary restraining order on behalf of labor and poverty groups who filed a lawsuit earlier in the week.
The ruling is in effect until Wednesday, when the judge will consider arguments from the same groups seeking to block application of the identification law for voters who go to the polls on Election Day.

"What a bunch of crap. These are NOTHING but left wing front groups that wish to continue cheating on election day, like thay have for thae last 30 years."

Make that 45 years. JFK got elected by a bunch of dead people in Cook County, Illinois (Chicago, read Daley Democrat political machine).
Dead people ALWAYS vote for the defeatocrats.
...labor and poverty groups who filed a lawsuit earlier in the week. The ruling is in effect until Wednesday, when the judge will consider arguments from the same groups seeking to block application of the identification law for voters who go to the polls on Election Day.That's a consequence of living voters not showing up to the polls.
I don't think people in general are willing to fight another Civil War, and would have difficulty doing so without the Second Amendment (since another civil war would be guerilla warfare, very likely, everyone would be a minuteman).
That doesn't mean I don't think there will be secession movements -- I think California may be on the way out of the Union.
If that happens, all California's federal programs will need to be pulled, all water and power cut off, and all installations, bases, and facilities closed.
unfortunately, forcing citizens to buy id for voting purposes can be construed and has been construed by the judiciary as the equivalent of a "poll tax".
the courts usually view voting as an implicit right rather than as a privledge, so we have an uphill battle to keep ineligible voters from voting. perhaps we should try a different tactic
I don't see this as a great problem because every polling place in the US has a master list of all registered and eligible voters in the particular district. If a person used a fake name that is on the list and then the real voter came, then there would be real problems
Many methinks.
But they still won't beat the Pubbie turn out.
Valley's dead cast their votes Statewide database of registered voters has potential for errors and fraud
By John Ferro
Poughkeepsie Journal
Among the Journal's findings:
The Journal identified dead people on the voter rolls in all 62 counties and people in as many as 45 counties who had votes recorded after they had died.
One address in the Bronx was listed as the home for as many as 191 registered voters who had died. The address is 5901 Palisade Ave., site of the Hebrew Home for the Aged.
Democrats who cast votes after they died outnumbered Republicans by more than a 4-to-1 margin. The reason: Most of them came from Democrat-dominated New York City, where higher population produced more matches.
Just heard that an Ohio's appeal court has put the previous court's ruling on hold, so the ID rule is back on. Too bad for libs.
Can any poll workers answer this question? Since it is illegal for poll workers and the city clerk to ask for an ID in MA, what would happen if someone got to my polling place first thing in the morning and gave my address and name as theirs and the person who works at the check-in desk knows this person not to be me, as I am known to the poll workers, can she challenge his attempt to vote as me and ask for an ID?
"labor and poverty groups"--is that what they're calling ILLEGAL ALIENS now?? I just can't keep up with the liberal metaphors and cute little euphemisms, there's so many out there!!!
Stupid judge. >:-(
A vote against Blackwell would teach no RINOs a lesson. Just the opposite.
