Judge Says Ohio Must Allow Provisional Ballots

Posted by timothy on from the turn-the-other-stile dept.

expriest writes "A Federal Judge has held that the state of Ohio must provide a provisional ballot to persons who claim to be registered, but whose names do not appear on the voter rolls. This decision reverses a policy by Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, who was only allowing the provisional ballots in limited circumstances. Furthermore, the Judge put some teeth behind his ruling, allowing persons denied provisional ballot to sue the election official so doing for money damages."

    I'd be satisfied if the intelligence test simply required people to demonstrate competence at punching a hole in a pre-perforated card.
