Starting today, Ohio voters can register to vote and immediately be given an absentee ballot. This allows people to fill out the form and mail in their vote on the spot. See this recently posted blog for details on where/how to vote.
As even Faux News reports video this is a huge boost for getting the college vote out. (To watch, you must click the video selection: "Boost for Barack?")
It's a factor which could put Obama over the top. According to Kevin Dewine, Ohio has half-a-million college students (18 to 24)... if they can get the vote 80 to 90%, that could make a huge difference.
It will no longer be a hassle to vote in Ohio.
It's a welcome change from 2004. The video does have its usual slant. It makes it seem like the dems are manipulating the system, to which all I can say is: voting machines, caged votes, and the comment, "don't worry, Ohio will be yours".
I was nervous about Ohio, cause it had been leaning slightly to McCain... So this is really good news!
