Ohio Says It Will Appeal Ruling on Early-Voter Limits

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine appealed a ruling by a U.S. judge that threw out a Republican-backed law that cut three days of early voting for most of the state’s citizens.
U.S. District Judge Peter Economus in Columbus ruled Aug. 31 in a lawsuit brought by Obama for America that Ohio can’t give members of the military and citizens living abroad three days more than other voters to cast ballots. He ordered the previous schedule restored, which allowed anyone to vote until the day before an election.
