To: Jon Husted, Ohio Secretary of State
Change the absurd early voter hours in Ohio
Extend early voting hours in Ohio to include evening and weekend options for those whose work schedules are not flexible.
Why is this important?
The Republican leadership of Ohio, in a very partisan move, have restricted the early voting hours this election year to 8-5 M-F, effectively making this a useless option for most working voters. Please join me in petitioning Secretary of State Jon Husted, who is responsible for this attempt to discourage voters, to shift their staff to provide broader hours of operation. I'm almost certain that they could adjust people's schedules to allow evening and weekend voting without increasing expenses, if they were only willing to be creative instead of obstructive. It should be easy for all Ohioans to vote, not just those who are wealthy and powerful enough to choose their own daily schedules.
