In Iraq, the U.S. government is risking thousands of American lives and spending hundreds of billions of dollars, allegedly in part to give Iraqi citizens the right to vote.
But here in America the government is threatening to disenfranchise thousands of newly-registered voters if their registration isn’t printed on 80-pound stock paper.
What a bizarre world we live in.
UPDATE: It may be even worse. According to this commenter, the Ohio Secretary of State itself distributed forms that don’t comply with the 80-pound requirement it is now attempting to enforce.
“….the Ohio Secretary of State itself distributed forms that don’t comply with the 80-pound requirement it is now attempting to enforce.”
Sounds to me like a request for a TRO/injunction against the Ohio Secretary of State would stand an excellent chance of being granted. But I’m sure some Ohio ACLU type lawyer has certainly thought of that…..
