ABC / Yahoo: Obama Campaign Sues to Extend Ohio Early Voting
President Obama’s re-election campaign has filed suit in federal court to block a Republican-sponsored Ohio law that mandates an end to early, in-person voting a full three days before Election Day this fall.
…
“The last three days of Early Vote are especially important to ensuring a free and fair election,” Obama’s Ohio campaign said in a statement. “We are moving forward in the fight to reinstate the last 3 days of Early Voting and ensure that all Ohio voters can make their voices heard this November.”
CNN: Obama campaign sues over Ohio’s cutoff date for early voting
The provision allowing the end of the three-day window first passed under an omnibus election reform law in 2011. Voters grew upset with other provisions in that law, so the legislature drafted a new bill to repeal that law in May before voters could vote on the measure in a scheduled referendum this November.
However, the new law passed in May retained the three-day window ban, prompting complaints from Democrats.
…
Opponents, [Secretary of State Jon Husted] said, don’t want an “accountability system,” one that “requires some level of personal responsibility to take initiative to get to the polls” or request an absentee ballot.

Brietart.com: Obama Campaign Sues to Restrict Military Voting
Apparently you can restrict Military voting, not by effecting their voting options one iota, but by restoring the last 3 days of early voting to non-military voters (military voters never lost those 3 days). ///
