Park Bench, Anytown, U.S.A.

(Columbus, Ohio) A federal judge has lost his mind.
A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must allow homeless voters to list park benches and other locations that aren't buildings as their addresses.

U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus also ruled that provisional ballots can't be invalidated because of poll worker errors.

Monday's ruling resolved the final two pieces of a settlement between the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
Jeez, it sure seems like were trending toward having no requirements to vote. No valid verifiable address should automatically disqualify people attempting to vote. What's next? Driver's license without an address? Passport? Birth certificate?
