“Ohio to appeal early voting case to the Supreme Court”

Wall Street Journal blog.


(Secretary of State)…Husted said the ruling made no sense, because it
empowered individual election boards to decide whether to allow early
voting until the day before the election. But their decisions must apply to all voters in the district.

“That means that one county may close down voting for the final
weekend while a neighboring county may remain open,” Mr. Husted said in a
statement. “How any court could consider this a remedy to an equal
protection problem is stunning.”

He also called it “an unprecedented intrusion by the federal courts into how states run elections.”
