A federal judge ruled Secretary Blackwell's directive to not allow provisional ballots is in violation of federal law. This is a big loss for the Republican voter suppression campaign.
Earlier, Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell ordered that so-called 'provisional ballots' would NOT be accepted (provisional ballots are used when someone moves but forgets to update voter reg info and therefore they don't appear on their local voter list. When that happens you still vote but it's not counted until your voter registration is confirmed)
From this article: "Provisional ballots have been used for more than a decade in Ohio by voters who moved and did not update their registration. More than 98,000 provisional ballots were cast in Ohio in the 2000 general election, and more than 54,000 in 2002."
