Despite Court Order, Ohio’s GOP Election Chief Is Still Cutting Back Early Voting

Despite Court Order, Ohio’s GOP Election Chief Is Still Cutting Back Early Voting: There is a simple explanation for why Ohio Republicans are so determined to cut back early voting. Early voters are more likely to be minorities and are more likely to have lower incomes. They are also much less likely to have jobs that give them the flexibility to take time off to vote on election day. According to a recent Ohio poll,President Obama leads 57 percent to 38 percent among people who already voted, but is tied at 43 percent with Mitt Romney among likely voters who have yet to cast their ballot.
