Obama Supporters Score Early Victory in Ohio


Supporters of President Obama in Ohio, a key battleground state, have scored what is seen as a significant victory for maximizing Democratic voter turnout ahead of the 2012 presidential election.

Obama campaign volunteers and a coalition of Democratic-aligned advocacy organizations gathered more than 318,000 signatures to effectively block new Republican-sponsored voting restrictions from taking effect through the next year, the groups announced today.

“It’s a victory for organizing,” said Brian Rothenberg, who led the fight against the new rules.
