Ohio Kills Key Programs To Ease Access To The Ballot

"In 2012, 59,000 Ohio voters took advantage of a six-day early voting period during which they could simultaneously register and cast a ballot, known as the “Golden Week.” The week was particularly useful to the elderly, low-income voters, and all others with limited time or means of transportation. But the Ohio legislature passed a bill this week that would eliminate that week, and a second suppressive bill that would end the successful practice of mailing absentee ballots to every registered voter. Gov. John Kasich (R) plans to sign both party-line measures, and voting rights groups are already queueing up lawsuits to challenge the new attempts to curb voting opportunities." Because republicans can't win without cheating, and they know it.
