The new Ken Blackwell

OH's GOP Sec. of State To Seek U.S. Supreme Court Help to Keep All But Military From Voting During Final Three Days Before 2012 Election

Jon Husted is now, officially, the new J. Kenneth Blackwell

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9625

After having been told by two federal courts --- a U.S. District Court in late August and then a 3-judge panel on the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals just last week --- that the Ohio GOP's attempt to restrict Early Absentee Voting in the final three days before Election Day, for all but active-duty military voters, is an unconstitutional violation of voting rights, disproportionately effecting low-income and minority voters, the state's Republican Sec. of State Jon Husted is, nonetheless, appealing the rulings yet again.

This time, Husted is skipping an appeal to the full 6th Circuit and going directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Featuring the likes of Jon Husted, Kenneth Blackwell, Katherine Harris, Kathy Nickolaus, Karl Rove, and other notable motherfuckers who tamper with the democratic process.
