Supreme Court Deals Blow to Early Voting in Ohio 
-------------------------------------------------


 
The U.S. Supreme Court has delayed early voting in Ohio hours before it
was due to begin today ahead of the November elections. The decision
places a stay on lower-court rulings which had blocked state attempts to
cut early voting from 35 to 28 days. The American Civil Liberties Union,
which has challenged Ohio's bid to restrict voting, said that in the
2012 election, more than 157,000 Ohioans voted on days that have now
been cut, a disproportionate percentage of them low-income and
African-American.
