Democrat Derides Shameful Attempt to Use Military to Suppress Voting 
COLUMBUS - State Rep. Teresa Fedor (D- Toledo) attended a hearing in federal court about restoring the final three days of early voting to all voters. Afterwards she met with veterans who are supporting the Obama campaign's efforts to give voting back to all voters. She released the following statement:
"I supported early voting for all voters 6 years ago along with my Republican colleagues. Unfortunately, Republicans have changed their tune because they have seen how wonderfully early voting has worked out for working people, minorities, and any voter who cannot make it to the polls on Election Day but still wants to vote in person. I am deeply saddened by the blatant attempts by Republicans to cut off voting opportunities for most voters, even veterans. I would like to see them compete fairly in elections on the strength of their ideas, instead of by rigging the election system."
The lawsuit brought by President Obama's campaign seeks to restore the final 3 days of in-person early voting for all voters. Republican legislators set two end dates for in-person early voting with the passage of SB 295, cutting off those final 3 days for veterans and most other voters despite their repeated hollow calls for uniformity.
