WASHINGTON 鈥� The U.S. Supreme Court today stayed lower court rulings that restored early voting opportunities in Ohio prior to full trial and in time for the midterm election. The 老澳门开奖结果 is challenging a state law and directives that have dramatically slashed early voting opportunities. A federal judge and Sixth Circuit appeals panel have already ruled for the 老澳门开奖结果's position, prompting the state's appeal to the Supreme Court.
The following is a statement from Dale Ho, director of the 老澳门开奖结果's Voting Rights Project:
"Thousands of Ohioans rely on early voting. For many, it is their only chance to cast a ballot during an election. While today's order is not a final ruling on the merits, it will deprive many Ohioans of the opportunity to vote in the upcoming election as this case continues to make its way through the courts."
