Ohio Curbs on Voter Registration Enjoined

On September 1, a U.S. District Court in Cleveland enjoined Ohio from enforcing certain laws relating to voter registration. Project Vote v Blackwell, 1:06cv-1628. The judge was Kathleen O’Malley, a Clinton appointee. The law, passed in 2005, made it illegal for groups that conduct voter registration drives to submit completed voter registration forms as a package. Instead, each individual volunteer in that organization had to submit his or her forms personally to the county elections office. The law also required registration volunteers to compete a training course on their home computer, which made it impossible for people without computers to participate.
