On July 30, the trial opened in Service Employees International Union v Husted, s.d., 2:12-cv-562. This is a case challenging Ohio election laws that say provisional ballots are void if they aren’t cast in the right precinct. See this story.

There has already been a great deal of litigation around that Ohio restriction, but this case differs from several others, because in this case the law itself is being challenged on constitutional grounds.
