Ohio Provisional Ballot Case to be Appealed Again

On February 21, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said that Hamilton County Board of Elections will appeal the Hunter lawsuit to the 6th circuit again. This is the case that was filed after the November 2010 election, when an extremely close race for Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge seemed to turn on whether certain provisional ballots should be counted. See this story. The case has already been to the 6th circuit once. The disputed ballots still haven’t been counted. The case is of great theoretical importance, because it concerns to what extent the Equal Protection portion of the 14th amendment protects voting rights. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.

Ohio Provisional Ballot Case to be Appealed Again — No Comments

  1. The OH MORONS act as if they are in a unique universe.

    See the EPC being used in Bush v. Gore to HAMMER the ENTIRE FL regime in 2000 — legislative, executive and judicial.

    Again – the entire provisional voting stuff is more of the same old usual suspect stuff — it only adds to the confusion of poor suffering overworked poll workers on election days and nights.

    Much too difficult to require that each qualified Elector be registered at least 28 days before each election.

    Also how about ALL mail ballots.

    Oregon continues to survive with ONLY mail ballots.
