Similar interim rules were in place for the 2016 elections and more than 7,500 residents used them to vote, said lawyers for Demos and the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, two groups that sued the state.
“The court’s decision will allow more Ohio voters to have their voices heard in the election next Tuesday,” said Demos senior counsel Stuart Naifeh. “Every vote counts, including those cast by voters who may not have been engaged in the political process in recent years. This is especially true in Ohio, where many elections in recent years have been won or lost by only one vote.”
