Election Reform Repeal Signed Into Law

Now that Governor Kasich has signed a bill into law that repeals a law he signed and Republican lawmakers approved last year, the next move will likely be a court battle.  Democrats, who were successful in getting nearly 400 thousand valid petition signatures to put the repeal on the fall ballot, say they will sue to keep it on the ballot.  The Democrats argue this is not a straight repeal because the early in person voting the weekend before the election has not been restored.  Republicans who approved the bill last year say they’ve voted to repeal it this year because they want to take confusion out of the election process.
