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.

You've got to be a total and absolute moron of a federal judge to grant a restraining order less than a week after SCOTUS spoke on the very same issue. No restraining orders, no suspending and restoring the voter id laws.

Why do the people who have no problem with showing an ID when cashing a check at the liquor store get so upset about showing an ID at the voting booth?

"{Judicial Activism" is at work and they plan on stealing elections.It is a sad day indeed when illegals and dead people vote.The ABA in my opinion has been in the process of setting up a dictatorship and I believe the Clintons and Democrats are in it up to the eyelids. Remember the Judicial System in America is controlled from beginning to end by lawyers and they police themselves. They are immune from law suits and they are a "brotherhood" in the strongest sense of the word. Americas Constitution matters not when it can be interpeted according to whim.

"saying the state's 88 counties are inconsistently applying the rule for people filling out absentee ballots."
Well that tears it.
If they can't apply the rule 'fairly',why, we'll just throw the law out.
Like throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Remarkable how State "widespread confusion" could happen, by the simple act of IDENTIFYING someone.

ACORN was discussed in a short peice on Special Report w/Brit Hume last night, IIRC. There is even video of a woman saying something or other, ACORN then said she was fired for theft.... I think it was re: Claire McGaskill (sp?)

I know this is going to get appealed, mostly because we have a Secretary of State who has intestinal fortitude (thank you, Ken Blackwell!) and isn't cowed by these moonbats. Funny, I've known that we had to have ID to vote about a month or so prior to the election yet only NOW do we get this from these cheating, leftist groups, close to the election.

I saw that and it's why I mentioned it here. I had no idea that they were still operating.
Bunch of bums. They do this because they know they can't win if they don't cheat.

Here it comes....Dems are going pour it on in Ohio with multiple voting, dead people voting, and illegals voting. And officials won't be able to do a damn thing about it.

Sleaze Democrats exist on lies and cheating.
To: All
Here's a curiosity question:
How hard would it be to get a database set up within every state so one could type in their voter ID number and a password to make sure that their votes are recorded for checking in the future after elections. I asked a lady when I went to early vote why we couldn't get a receipt or hard copy to show how we voted. She said it wasn't legal because we could sell our votes. I didn't understand how, though.

You could take it to your "patron" as evidence that you voted his way, and then he could pay you for it.
To: Sister_T
This is now just as bad a forum shopping or judge shopping.
You time the lawy suite in order to make appeal physically difficult if not impossible.

This is the same state, that just days ago was complaining about ACORN submitting 300k new voter registrations, 150k of them with 'inconsistencies' like incorrect addresses, names, pets, dead people, etc...
The same group that got caught doing the SAME EXACT THING in 2004, and was 'warned' about it after reports in 2003.
And 3 days later the voterID law is 'suspended' by a Judge...

On my absentee ballot, I needed to provide either a Ohio Driver's license number or last 4 of SSN and my signature.
