Obama, Democrats suing to block military voting in Ohio? Update: No
posted at 11:21 am on August 3, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Well … maybe, but that depends on what remedy the lawsuit demands. The DNC, Ohio Democrats, and the campaign for Barack Obama’s re-election have indeed filed a lawsuit in Ohio over an exception for early voting for members of the military and civilians overseas, claiming it sets up an unconstitutionally “disparate” treatment from other voters. But does that mean eliminating the exception altogether, or extending it to everyone?
Fifteen military groups are opposing a federal lawsuit in Ohio brought by President Barack Obama’s campaign because they say it could threaten voter protections afforded to service members, such as the extended time they have to cast a ballot.
Obama’s campaign and Democrats filed the lawsuit last month against Ohio’s top elections official in a dispute over the battleground state’s law that restricts early, in-person voting during the final three days before Election Day.
The campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party contend the law unfairly ends in-person voting for most Ohioans three days earlier than it does for military and overseas voters.
Attorneys for the Democrats argue such “disparate” treatment is unconstitutional, and all voters should be able to vote on those days.
Breitbart’s Mike Flynn and these military groups assume that the lawsuits intend to restrict access to the military to the Friday deadline, the same as everyone else in Ohio:
On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state’s law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis.”
Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as “arbitrary” and having “no discernible rational basis,” I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women’s time and their obligations to their sworn duty. …
I think it’s unconscionable that we as a nation wouldn’t make it as easy as possible for members of the military to vote. They arguably have more right to vote than the rest of us, since it is their service and sacrifice that ensures we have the right to vote in the first place.
But is the remedy sought by Democrats to force members of the military to adhere to the Friday deadline, or to eliminate the deadline altogether? Neither the KTVU nor the Bloomberg reports make it clear what remedy the plaintiffs seek — and that’s really the crux of the issue here.
Prior to changes in the law passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature and by Governor John Kasich, everyone could submit an early ballot in person or by mail all the way through Monday, but access over the weekend for in-person voting was inconsistent in Ohio’s 88 counties. The counties would have to pay overtime over these weekends to keep offices open, which is probably why some didn’t do so. The new law restricted early voting to the Friday before the election, but left an exception for military members to cast votes in person through Monday.
The question then becomes this: why not let everyone cast votes on Monday, too? What state interest is being served by having all the facilities for early voting open on Monday but only limiting access to them for those in the armed service? It’s certainly nice to give troops a perk, but if the polling booths are open, why restrict it at all? It’s a fair question, especially if the remedy sought is to extend that Monday deadline for everyone.
However, it’s a big mistake for Team Obama and the DNC to have gotten involved in the suit. No matter how reasonable the issue might be, it still looks like they’re objecting to an accommodation for military voting. If the state Democratic Party wanted to file the lawsuit, why not let them take all of the political flak for it?
Update: Like I said, the likely remedy proposed would be to remove the Friday deadline for everyone — and that’s exactly what the plaintiffs are proposing. Gabriel Malor forwarded me a link to the brief, and the relevant language within it:
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request of this Court the following equitable relief:…
B. A preliminary and permanent order prohibiting the Defendants, their respective agents, servants, employees, attorneys, successors, and all persons acting in concert with each or any of them, from implementing or enforcing lines 863 and 864 of Sec. 3509.03 (I) in HB 224, and/or the SB 295 enactment of Ohio Revised Code § 3509.03 with the HB 224 amendments, thereby restoring in-person early voting on the three days immediately preceding Election Day for all eligible Ohio voters;
So no, they aren’t trying to block military members from getting to the polls, but arguing that since the polls will be open anyway, everyone else should have access to them as well. A couple of commenters think this will be a “logistical nightmare,” but the logistics aren’t really that scaleable. Having the polls open for a few would be the same as having them open for many. There may need to be few more election judges, but those positions are voluntary anyway.

“In a way, the world−view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.” – Orwell, 1984

The emails were originally available to congressmen only for viewing/reading and not for copying. According to Chaffetz, the Benghazi “minders” hovered over the shoulders of congressmen who were reading the emails.
It’s understandable that some errors were made when exact copies of the emails were not distributed and congressmen had to rely on notes and their memories in order to paraphrase them.

If you call what Hayes and Karl did in paraphrasing these not-yet-released-only-viewed emails “doctoring”, I’d love to know what you call the process that took us from the original CIA memo to “spontaneous protest caused by a youtube video”.
Libs have been screaming “right wingnut teabagger conspiracy” for 8 months now, all while the facts coming out have proven that there was indeed a cover-up, and still none of the administration flacks can answer the most basic questions about what happened there in any detail. See: Pfeiffer’s hilarity today.
Personally, I am inclined to believe the louder libs scream, the more important it is to keep digging.
Also, I’m content with anything that prevents liberals from “fixing” the jobs issue. Given that this is the ideology that promulgates such absurdities as “economic justice” and “guaranteed income”, I’d just as soon have you guys stay distracted as long as possible.

What disconcerts me is human value on American lives. We lost our Ambassador, something that hasn’t occured in decades, not even under evil Bush (/). And this administration still won’t come clean on what happened, and why, and how we were neutered enough to sacrifice our Ambassador. This administration is playing politics with the entire scenario, and obfuscating the truth. There was once a time when every American citizen (whether good or bad) had value. And our govt. (whether pub or dem) would go out of its way to rescue them. Now, the value of the life of our Ambassador is zilch. Truly, America is in decline, and under this administration, impotent.

Even worse than Benghazi:
Hi Diana –
It was on the morning of August 6th they went to my sister in laws house (Michael’s mother Betsy) Betsy had called me screaming around 9:30 that the Navy was at her house and that Michael was dead. It was horrific.
My husband & I ran up to her house and 3 representatives from the Navy were there. I kept asking them over and over what had happened & they said that Michael had gone on a rescue mission & the helicopter he was in had been shot down by the Taliban.
We thought that it was just Michael & a pilot we did not know there were other people on board. They kept telling us they were waiting for an update from the Command that they only had a little information. Then after about an hour my husband went on the computer and it was on there and he said “It wasn’t just Michael…there were others on the Chinook.”
Then I asked them again what had happened and they told me the number of our guys that were on there and they said there were 2 Afghan soldiers with them–they were interpreters. I said “I thought you said they were going to rescue Army Rangers” They said “That’s right” So I asked them “If they were going to rescue Army Rangers why would they need interpreters? Army Rangers speak English” They did not respond.
It was absolutely horrific. Michael was a sweet kid and he had plans for the future he was taking college courses and he was looking into going to Johns Hopkins for nursing. He was smart, he was really funny, and he had the kindest heart you would ever imagine.
One thing I am happy about–he knew that we all loved him dearly.

I disagree, rightmind. We need more conservatives in the humanities. Words matter; language matters. We’ve conceded too much ground in that fight because we allowed the left wing to dominate the humanities in Academia.
A proper humanities degree should give students the tools to think critically, read intelligently and communicate effectively. Instead, it’s become a tool for leftist indoctrination. But we don’t help that by discouraging conservatives from studying humanities.
Of course, the world needs scientists, mathematicians and engineers, too. But the world at large can provide those, as we’ve seen over the years; the best and brightest still want to come here to ply their trade. Obama hasn’t killed that….yet.

Yep, when they yelp like that you know you are on target.

Boy, the smell of fear is reeking from the administration and the minions now.
You don’t cheat and obfuscate against inferiors, you do so when you are at a genuine disadvantage.
You don’t risk your entire agenda of a benevolent government by submitting to subjugation and slander against your opposition unless the opposition is in a morally superior position. To do otherwise is the height of folly and incompetence.
This has been fun to watch. The meltdown continues. All the way to 2014 and beyond.
So lets wave to the progressive agenda as it sinks in a cesspool of its own making.
Bye bye.

Frankly, everybody can shove these emails up any available orifice.
None of this explains how a “terrorist attack” on a US diplomatic facility somehow morphed into a demonstration over a YouTube video … so as far as I concerned this stuff can be wee-weed-up and it changes nothing. These emails prove nothing that is important except the obvious.
