CINCINNATI - A federal appeals court on Saturday reversed a lower court's ruling that Ohio voters could cast provisional ballots on Election Day anywhere in the county in which they are registered.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a provisional ballot cast outside a voter's home precinct isn't valid, agreeing with Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. Federal law allows people to get provisional ballots if they are in the right jurisdiction. Blackwell, a Republican, defines that as a precinct, while Democrats say it's the voter's county.

did you hear about the KC guy arrested for voting both in KCK and KCMO? He felt ENTITLED to vote both places since he owns property in both.

So now a federal appeals court has ruled. (not to mention the highly democrat infested Florida state supreme court). Is this at all binding on other states? Is it binding if the state election board issues the ruling?

A Federal Appeals court? I doubt the Supremes will bother themselves with this (they washed their hands of Nader in PA) so this seems final.
