Voter ID would kill the Democrat Party, leave them totally dead
eddie how does this disproportionately affect African American voters?.....if they gave me a week to get my vote in, it would be in or its on me....(CNN)Democrats this week won a potentially major victory in Ohio -- months before the November election.
A federal court reinstated Ohio's "Golden Week" -- seven days of early voting with same-day voter registration that Republican state lawmakers struck down two years ago. The ruling looks like a clear victory for Democrats, who had sued to reverse the decision.
"It might only be a marginal impact, but in a very close election -- like ones that Ohio is known for -- then that 's something that is potentially significant. They're fighting a game of inches here," said Rick Hasen, an elections law expert and professor at University of California, Irvine.
Republicans reduced the state's early voting period from 35 days to 28 days before the general election and eliminated the "Golden Week." Democrats quickly challenged the law in court.
"In a swing state like Ohio, we're going to be fighting for every single vote, and the margin of victory in the presidential race, as well as our U.S. Senate race, could certainly come down to a few thousand votes. 80,000 Ohioans took advantage of early voting during Golden Week in 2012, and that could be the difference this fall," Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper said Wednesday.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, immediately announced he would challenge the ruling.
Husted argued that lawmakers had the power to create early voting and should also have the power to limit it.
"For nearly 200 years, Ohioans voted for only one day," Husted said in a statement. "If it was constitutional for lawmakers to expand the voting period to 35 days, it must also be constitutional for the same legislative body to amend the timeframe to 28 days, a timeframe that remains one of the most generous in the nation."
But Federal District Court Judge Michael Watson, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, sided with Democrats who argued that the law disproportionately affected African American voters.
"Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, immediately announced he would challenge the ruling."
Of course he would – that republicans are hostile to ensuring all citizens have an opportunity to vote comes as no surprise.

People have to work and I think it is a good idea for them to be able to come in when they're off. Of course, the republicans hate people that work and only want them to work so they can watch them suffer.
