Judge orders expanded Ohio early voting schedule
Source: abc News
A federal judge has blocked an Ohio law trimming early voting and ordered the swing state's elections chief to set an expanded voting schedule.
The ruling Thursday from U.S. District Judge Peter Economus comes in a lawsuit filed by civil rights groups and others challenging two early-voting measures.
One is a directive from Secretary of State Jon Husted (HYOO'-sted) setting uniform voting times that restricted weekend and evening hours. Another is a law that eliminates so-called "golden week" — when people could both register to vote and cast ballots.
The judge sided with groups that claimed the changes disproportionately hurt low-income and black voters. The state argued the organizations couldn't prove the rules illegally placed an undue burden on voters.

Peter C. Economus (born 1943) is a United States federal judge on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.

Economus was nominated to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio by President Bill Clinton on February 28, 1995, to a seat vacated by Frank Joseph Battisti. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 30, 1995, and received his commission the same day. (snip)
How are they supposed to win if they cannot suppress the vote?
Justice tastes so good, doesn't it? 
GOTV, OHIO! Let's roll!
