GOP wins one: Ohio ordered to accept McCain absentee ballot applications

The Ohio Supreme Court today ordered Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to accept absentee ballot applications that do not contain a checked box indicating the person is a qualified elector.
The applications were mailed to registered Ohio voters by the presidential campaign of Republican Sen. John McCain. But thousands have been returned without a checkmark in a box stating the requester is qualified to vote in Ohio.
Brunner, a Democrat, issued a directive last month telling county boards of election officials to not accept the applications if the boxes are not checked. The Ohio Republican Party immediately cried fouled and sued.
A day earlier, the high court threw out a similar suit because the Republican attorney failed to file a brief in the case before a mandated deadline. Today's ruling stems from a case filed by two Cincinnati-area voters.
Gee I hope Jennifer “GOBAMA” Brunner won’t be too devastated.
The Ohio Supreme Court is a fair court.
Yeah, but,,,,,
‘On Monday, the day before early voting opened in Ohio, Brunner’s office won several court cases in which Republican voters and the state GOP had asked state and federal courts to stop the process because it permitted voters to register and cast absentee ballots at the same time.
The one-stop voting stemmed from a directive Brunner issued based on a unique overlap between when absentee ballots became available in the state and the close of voter registration a week later.
Ohio this year allows voters to cast absentee ballots without providing an excuse as to why they will not be present on Election Day — and that change has led to a steady get-out-the-vote effort during the one-stop overlap period, which ends Oct. 6.

The 0 crowd is going to make certain that 102,757 same-day Democrat votes are cast, even if it’s the last thing cadavors and other almost 18 year olds do.
who hooo!
Northeast Ohio PING, please! :-)
Crazy lady overturned ping.
SMACKDOWN!
Pray for a McCain and Sarah win. Lord give them wisdom
and guide them to save America from the hands of evil.
McCain PING!
She probably tossed them already.
Excellent news.
COUNT EVERY VOTE! COUNT EVERY VOTE!
Unless they're Republican.
We're The Ones You've Been Screwed By....
Perfect. We’ve got to get that comment inside the picture!
But thousands have been returned without a checkmark in a box stating the requester is qualified to vote in Ohio.
Only fair I guess considering that I could be driving through Ohio and stop and vote and fill up my gas tank at the same time. /s/
Usual republican lawyer. Too little, too late. Idiot. If this happened for a real client, you could have the attorney's ass. You could sue him for malpractice.
Glad to read something good for a change.
