Early Voting Is Restored in Ohio
Early voting in Ohio the weekend before the election was restored for all voters on Friday by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, giving President Obama's campaign another victory in its legal battles with Republicans over voting issues. The state's Republican-led administration had imposed a measure that allowed voting that weekend only for members of the military and people living overseas. Democrats and Mr. Obama's campaign had cried foul, arguing that the measure unfairly disenfranchised minorities and others who often wait until the last weekend. Those voters are considered likelier to back the Democratic candidates.
