An Ohio legislative panel has delayed a vote on repealing a contentious new election law that shrinks early voting and makes other changes in the presidential battleground state.

Backed by Republicans, the Senate bill would scrap the new law and leave in place the old rules governing Ohio elections - including a separate change made last year that cuts off in-person early voting on the Friday before Election Day.

Republican State Treasurer Josh Mandel will take on Incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown this fall. Mandel easily won the G-O-P primary winning 62% percent of the total votes statewide.  On March 12, 2012, Florida Senator Marco Rubio campaigned in Ohio for the Senate hopeful. 

The following  audio contains addresses from Mandel and Rubio to a crowd of 300 in the Berry Room located  at Wright State University's Nutter Center.
