U.S. District Court Rules that Ohio May Not Automatically Discard a Provisional Ballot Because it was Cast in the Wrong Location

On October 26, a U.S. District Court in Columbus, Ohio, ruled that Ohio cannot automatically disallow a provisional ballot just because it was cast in the wrong building. Both the U.S. District Court and the Sixth Circuit had already ruled in this same case that provisional ballots are not automatically invalid just because they were cast in the wrong precinct, but the correct building.

The relief in the new court ruling only relates to instances at which the voter was at the wrong building because an election official misinformed him or her. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link. The case is Service Employees International Union v Husted, 2:12-cv-562, southern district.
