Court Rules Against Provisional Ballots

The Democrats goal of allowing people to vote outside their home precincts was challenged by Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. Subsequently, Democrats successfully filed suit in U.S. District Court to block Blackwell's directive to require voters to vote in their own polling places. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Blackwell's authority while rejecting the practice of provisional ballots.

Democrats say they won't appeal. Good, I thought it was a lousy idea and a guarantee of many lawsuits.
