Good News From Ohio
Kenneth Blackwell - the Midwestern equivalent of Katherine Harris - was trying to prevent Ohio voters who show up at the wrong precinct from getting provisional ballots. An Ohio judge has ruled that they are indeed entitled to ballots if they are still in the correct county. This is good news. Blackwell will appeal, but at least for now I can feel some gratitude for the existence of an independent judiciary.
