If the Ohio Secretary of State gets his way and the U.S. Supreme Court agrees with him, the 2012 election could be decided again by the U.S. Supreme Court. Just like in 2000 with Gore winning the popular vote but losing the electoral vote due to interference of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Jon Husted, Ohio GOP Secretary Of State, Appealing Early Voting Decision To Supreme CourtCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio's election chief on Tuesday appealed a ruling that reinstates the final three early voting days in the battleground state, calling a decision last week by a federal appeals court "an unprecedented intrusion" into how states run elections.
Secretary of State Jon Husted asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether the state Legislature or federal courts should set Ohio election laws.
Husted, a Republican, also asked the court to delay the lower court's decision while the Supreme Court decides whether to take the case.
Husted said Friday's decision by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would affect how elections are run in all 50 states. The appeals court in Cincinnati affirmed a lower court ruling and returned discretion to set hours on the final three days to local boards of elections.
