Dispatch:
A bill that eliminates "Golden Week" by shortening the time in which Ohioans can cast absentee ballots passed the Senate yesterday over objections from Democrats, including Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
Moments after the bill passed the Senate 19-11, Brunner's office blasted the measure as "another example of hastily written legislation that will create administrative problems for county elections boards and invite litigation."
The debate is one of many as the legislature scrambles through the last two weeks of the 127th General Assembly...
> PolitickerOH.com has this about the latest Republican ploy:
Ohio College Democrats are taking issue with election reform legislation introduced recently by state Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) and Republican leadership in the Ohio Senate.....
....The bill seeks to end the so-called "Golden Week" when Ohioans can register and cast an absentee ballot on the same day.....
....College Democrats are saying that the legislation would "make it almost impossible for students to vote absentee in Ohio."
These Republicans continue to make it difficult for Ohioans to vote. If they wonder why more and more Democrats are being elected in the state, and young people are staying away from the GOP, they only need to look at their own behavior.
