U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus also ruled that provisional ballots can't be invalidated because of poll worker errors.
Monday's ruling resolved the final two pieces of a settlement between the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
The coalition agreed to drop a constitutional challenge to Ohio's voter identification law until after the Nov. 4 election. In return, Brunner and the coalition agreed on procedures to verify provisional ballots across all Ohio counties.
The coalition was concerned that unequal treatment of provisional ballots would disenfranchise some voters.

Just a way of padding the Democrat vote with fake people. Think ACORN.
And the Democrats accused the Republican of stealing the election.
Regardless of the outcome at the polls expect major legal challenges all over the country.

This is important, and is fundemental to what this country is about . . . all citizens, except felons, have a right to vote (and the felon exception is being done away with in some states) - even poor, down and out homeless people . . . and even ignorant insensitive Yidden.

I think we'd all be better off if some people are denied the right to vote. For example, people delinquent on taxes, felons (as now), and that's all I can think of for now.

That's a good one! But if stars (not the human kind) can be registered and sold as Birthday presents, soon people will start taking money out of the [park] benches! Men vet noch veren reich fin di Benk!!!

Dr. Dumkopf is more apt - you thrive in a democracy, and haven't a clue as to why or what it means

If Obama loses ( and I pray he does ) after trying every trick in the book, i.e. Acorn, media bias, and now park benches, it will really send a message.........The message will be a clear call for the Marxists to pack their bags and go back home (to Chicago, I presume) I thought for Representation their was obligation of Taxation-do these mendicants, and reprobates rent or own the benches?

This may have worked 100 years ago, but there is no way now to keep track of them.
All new york voters can fly down to ohio and list their address as a park bench and shehechiyanu! you can vote!

If Obama's plan is "Marxist," then Ronald Reagan must have been a hard-core communist, because his tax rates were higher than what Obama is proposing. How does a difference of about 3% in the top bracket (the difference between McCain's & Obama's plans) make one "Marxist" and one not?

Are you folks really suggesting that American citizens should be denied their Constitutional right to vote because they had the misfortune of losing their homes?
Talk about adding insult to injury.
Do you really want to bring back property qualifications for voting? Because, you know, those usually went along with a qualification that you be a member of the right Christian church.
Hashem yerachem.
