Military free to vote in Ohio

From Facebook:

I heard two irate individuals in a Radio Shack store today. They were going off about how the Obama campaign is trying to keep the military from voting! There is nothing of the sort going on. The effort has been to keep the Ohio GOP from cutting off early voting for regular voters. Nothing was being done to stop the military from sending in their absentee votes. There was mention of that because it was not contested and was being left in place. Try and communicate the truth -- as difficult as it is in this race.

Three weeks before Election Day, Republican leaders in Ohio have asked the Supreme Court to step in and allow the state’s early in-person voting restriction to take effect.

Two lower federal courts have ruled in favor of Obama campaign officials who asked for a preliminary injunction against Ohio’s law, which allows only military members and their families to vote in person on the three days prior to the election.

The Obama campaign, joined by state Democratic Party officials, had challenged the law, pointing out that all voters had been allowed to vote in that time frame in recent elections.
