Ohio is considered a must-win state for both Barack Obama and John McCain. And the highpoint of the presidential campaign in the state could come a month before Election Day.
Ohio has created a window in the election calendar, from September 30th to October 6th, that allows residents to both register one minute and vote the next.
The voting window, so far, is only being implemented in some counties -- typically they are urban areas or those with college campuses. The move figures to benefit Obama and leading Republicans are crying foul. They're considering a lawsuit if it isn't applied all over the state.
In effect this creates one set of voting laws for Democrats and another for Republicans.
I thought this was the sort of thing Democrats were against, but I guess with Obama's "new" politics everything old is new again.
