A U.S. Federal Judge Donald Nugent, has Upheld Ohio’s Strict Voter ID Law, including the Photo Provision, Rejecting a Challenge from a Democratic Law Firm, Elias Law Group.
Judge Nugent found that the Law imposes Minimal Burden on Voters and Dismissed Claims of Discriminatory Burdens. The Law also formalized Single-Drop Box Restrictions, which had been a subject of Debate.
Judge Nugent said, the Ohio Photo ID Requirement “imposes no more than a minimal burden, if any, for the vast majority of voters.”
Judge Nugent also Rejected the other Claims asserted by the Elias Law Group, whose Suit filed last year on behalf of Groups representing Military Veterans, Teachers, Retirees, and the Homeless, argued the Law imposed Needless and Discriminatory Burdens on the Right-to-Vote.
The Suit was filed the same day Gov. Mike DeWine (R), signed the Legislation over the Objections of Voting Rights, Labor, Environmental, and Civil Rights Groups, that had been Pleading for a Veto.
Additionally, a similar Voter ID Law challenge in New Hampshire was also Rejected by a State Court, as Plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that their Ability to Cast a Ballot was Impeded.
