For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County,1 where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends.2 Now, Secretary of State Husted said he is considering limiting early voting hours across the state in the run-up to the November election, and will "be listening to local boards of elections' concerns on this issue."3 We need to let the Licking County Board of Elections know that Ohioans support giving all registered voters equal opportunity to exercise their right to vote.

Boards of Elections across Ohio know that Ohioans support giving all registered voters equal opportunity to exercise their right to vote. Stark County Board of Elections needs to publicly support uniform, expanded early voting hours across Ohio.

States that are using voter suppression should be held accountable. I say we need to march at the steps of each state's state house and protest this blatant racism. I'm not affected directly, but as a minority I am offended by this and it's time to do something. If they are trying to set us back then we need to do what our ancestors did, sit-ins, marches, and protest!! We need to do it now before November 6th!!!

all registered voters in the state should have equal opportunity to exercise their right to participate in all elections

Ohio Secretary of State John Husted is considering limiting early voting throughout Ohio to weekdays between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm. Such a move would disproportionately affect minority and working voters. Please help call upon the Franklin County Board of Elections to support extended early voting hours throughout Ohio.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County, where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends. As a Hamilton County resident, I feel that we need to let the Hamilton County Boards of Elections know that Ohioans support giving all registered voters equal opportunity to exercise their right to vote. So, as a resident in Hamilton County I am starting a petition calling on the Hamilton County Board of Elections to publicly support uniform, expanded early voting hours across Ohio.

I hope to inform the Warren County Board of Elections that many Ohioans support giving equal opportunity to exercise the right to vote. It disillusions me personally to even suspect that anyone who lives in an urban area in Ohio is denied a voice in the election process.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) has limited access to early voting in Ohio counties with large Democratic populations. Now he wants to restrict early voting across the state. He will contact local boards of elections for feedback regarding this idea. This is your opportunity to tell the Clermont County Board of Elections that you support uniform, expanded early voting hours across Ohio.

The Ohio Secretary of State John Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting areas in traditionally "blue" or democratic leaning counties, while he has simultaneuously EXTENDED early voting hours in "traditionally red" or republican leaning counties. This double standard CANNOT stand.

2012 voting access in Ohio.

I have never experienced voter suppression in my 53 years of voting because I reside in New York state but what I read and hear in the news is appalling that people are being denied their right to vote
