On October 9, the Ohio Secretary of State asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a recent order by the 6th circuit, that required the state to permit early voting the weekend before the election. The basis for the 6th circuit opinion (as well as the U.S. District Court opinion, which agreed with the 6th circuit) was that Ohio permits members of the military who are in this country to vote early on that weekend. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
