Ohio is the center of the political universe every four years. So naturally the Buckeye State has been front and center in the Republican War on Voting.
Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted, swept into office in the 2010 wave, has become one of the GOP's rising stars thanks to his aggressive attacks on the right to vote.
