U.S. Supreme Court Won’t Block Order Requiring Ohio to Permit Early Voting on the Weekend Before the Election

On October 16, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to stay the decision of the Sixth Circuit in Obama for America v Husted. The Sixth Circuit had said that since Ohio lets members of the military who are in the U.S. vote early on the weekend before the election, the state must let all voters vote early on the same weekend. It is somewhat likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will accept this case for full review. The October 16 action is not a decision on the merits, but just says that for this upcoming election, the early voting will proceed.
