“Keeping the military from voting in Ohio”

Numerous military veterans groups have expressed consternation over a
recent lawsuit filed by Obama for America as well as the Democratic
National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party against the Ohio
Secretary of State over early voting in Ohio. They are right to be
concerned.

…Ohio has a rational and practical reason to provide members of the
military, many of whom put their lives on the line for us every day,
extra time to vote. This is not arbitrary, capricious, or somehow unfair
to other voters. And it has a perfectly rational reason related to
election administration to end early voting for other Ohio voters three
days before election day. The courts should rule against Obama and the
DNC to ensure that those who defend and serve will have every
opportunity to vote in November.

“Secretary Aichele — Please don’t play Holder’s game”

Pittsburgh Tribune Review:

“Holder’s Pennsylvania actions are just plays out of a well-established political playbook. Play One — ignore that voter fraud exists; Play Two — file numerous, expensive legal actions; and Play Three — call anyone in favor of an open election a racist. Play Three conjures the worst of our history just to foreclose mature debate.

If the commonwealth complies with Holder’s demands, DOJ will certainly institute yet another costly Voter ID legal action. The DOJ, the ACLU and the NAACP have a well-timed, well-coordinated, multicourt strategy designed to burden each state brazen enough to ask for validation that a purported voter is, in fact, who he says he is.


In Holder’s game, only those who need the votes of the dead or of fictional characters are winners. Secretary Aichele — you don’t have to play, so please don’t.”

Salon writer claims DOJ is trying to block Ohio law providing early voting to vets

At the link, Salon writer Joan Walsh claims that Romney is willfully misreading the Justice Department’s efforts to block an Ohio law that limits early voting to vets.  What in the world is she talking about?

Note to Salon Editor:  I know it is difficult to discern the difference between the Obama campaign and the Obama Department of Justice, but it is doubtful there is any truth that DOJ is actually involved in the lawsuit (except behind the scenes).  Waiting for the correction or simply removing the article altogether.
