President Barack Obama's campaign says it has sued Ohio's secretary of state over early-voting provisions in the Buckeye State.

The campaign wants the state to return to laws it had in 2008, prior to when the state underwent myriad election reforms under a Republican-controlled legislature.

Husted made the case that it's "extremely easy" to vote in Ohio and highlighted the 35-day early voting time period, or "790 hours" as he put it, available for voters to cast their ballot. The state has also made it possible, he noted, for every voter to vote by absentee ballot "from the comfort of their own home."
Opponents, he said, don't want an "accountability system," one that "requires some level of personal responsibility to take initiative to get to the polls" or request an absentee ballot.
"To me, it seems pretty easy to vote if you really care about who your president is going to be," he said.
The state GOP echoed his sentiments, saying the provision that passed under the initial law had support from both parties last year.


The libs get their ire up over this? How petty. If someone can't get their vote in within 35 days, maybe they shouldn't be voting.

Maybe Eric Holder can arrange for some Black Panthers to be at the polls, libs seem to be good with that.

let me see. eric holder is black. the POTUS is black. therefore, the new black panthers are a tool of the POTUS and the AG used them to repress voters...?

let's run with that logic.

jefferson is black. jefferson loves watermelon. therefore, black folk love watermelon.

Run where ever you want with YOUR logic. The fact is that AG Holder should have prosecuted those thugs. He chose not to based on their race. Play your worn out race card all day long. Doesn't change the facts. But, it's the liberal way to ignore them.

This shows Just what a low life this communist president is. Oh I know you libertards do want to go to this site because it isn't CNN or Msnbc but maybe you need the truth for a change.

What Al Gore did in 2000 has nothing to do with the Ohio case. The Florida case was about the military and their absentee ballots.
The Ohio case has nothing to do with the military or their absentee ballots. If you'd read about the Ohio case you'd know it was about the Republicans rewriting the election laws in 2008.
Nice try though. These challenges to states changing election laws is nothing more than a part of the political landscape. There are Republican challenges to election laws in California, Michigan, New York, Texas, Alabama and others.

It is pretty pitiful when Fox News and other such propaganda tubes for the Republicon Party have to stoop so low as to come up with an extremely twisted and purposefully misleading article/"news" story as this one.
According to sources covering the early voting law suit in Ohio, what the republicons wanted to do was to take away the last few days of early voting for all of Ohio's legally registered voters except for those people in the military. The law suit rightly points out that this is giving a certain group special treatment and that ALL Ohio voters should be able to vote during the same time period.

To frame this suit as one where the Democrats are trying to limit military voting is just disgusting. It is garbage like this that makes me absolutely hate F News for their intentional constant ever present efforts to mislead their viewers and demonize the Democratic Party.

The only excuse I can see for this sort of broadcasting is that they don't think they will ever win an election again unless they lie to their viewers. I hope more of their devoted viewers begin to question the validity of what they see there and decide to watch PBS News Hour or the BBC or some news source that manages to tell the truth.

Finally, some sense. Those early voters that Ohio wants to exclude from early voting include military veterans...let me emphasize that...military veterans. The only voters the Repugs want to be allowed early voting are...wait for it...active duty military. I wonder why the hell that is.

Who knew a presidential candidate could be such a blatant liar?
