I think it's a non-issue being exploited for political gain.

Previously, the local board of elections in Ohio determined early in-person voting times for their area, which resulted in some counties having evening and weekend hours while others didn't. Now, the state has stepped in and created legislation to apply uniformity to the statewide election process and limiting all in-person early voting (excepting military members) during the 72 hours leading up to election day, although affirming that early in-person voting is allowed beginning 35 days prior to election day.

These rules apply across the board. No one can vote in person during that 72 hour period, therefore the Obama administrations claim that certain demographics would be unduly repressed seems absurd when taken at face value.

Every state has it's own rules regarding in-person early voting. Some don't allow it at all! And yet, for some reason, the Justice Department has decided to go after Ohio. It's importance as a swing state probably has nothing to do with it dontcha think?

If you really want my opinion, I'd say that the lawsuit re-affirms my belief that the Obama administration believes it can only win if it divides the nation, creating the allusion of victimhood to as many people as possible. I'll be glad when it's over.
