A judge in Ohio sided with the State Democratic Party in a battle over GOP efforts to suppress minority votes in that state. The judge ruled that, if military personnel were granted three extra voting days, the same right must be granted to EVERY VOTER IN THE STATE:

Early voting reinstated in Ohio - The Washington Post

NO FAVORITISM FOR SPECIAL GROUPS- even if that group is our service men and women. After all, what are they fighting for, if not to protect the rights of ALL citizens?

Texas, Pennsyvania, Florida, and now Ohio. Sorry GOP, if you want to win THIS election, you're going to have try to get folks to vote for your candidates, NOT STOP THEM FROM VOTING FOR DEMS.

THIS is what democracy looks like

Excellent news.

It appears that Republicans are just naturally driven to restrict voting in any way possible. You see it here every day - talking about literacy tests, restricting voting to property owners, and of course, making it as difficult as possible to even obtain an ID appropriate for voting.

This is indeed good news. Taking away the right and making it more difficult to vote is a disgrace. Wondering if the outcome with the Pennsylvania judge had any influence in the decision in Ohio? Just glad it turned out well for the Dems! You made some outstanding points Gurbie which are spot on with those shady Republicans. Well said!!!! Bravo!!!!
