Dear Department of Justice,
Will you please grab this stupid sonofabitch by the scruff of the neck and drag him off the bench?
A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must allow homeless voters to list park benches and other locations that aren’t buildings as their addresses.
U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus (Democratic, of course) also ruled that provisional ballots can’t be invalidated because of poll worker errors.
Monday’s ruling resolved the final two pieces of a settlement between the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
The coalition agreed to drop a constitutional challenge to Ohio’s voter identification law until after the Nov. 4 election. In return, Brunner and the coalition agreed on procedures to verify provisional ballots across all Ohio counties.
The coalition was concerned that unequal treatment of provisional ballots would disenfranchise some voters.

‘…because of poll worker errors” Translation: ACORN gets away with more voter fraud.
Brunner is already authorized to break the law by not being forced to account for voters’ mismatched data.
And what kills me is the existence of a “Coalition for the Homeless”. Christ, who knew that perpetuating the condition of skid row drunks could provide a cottage industry, and a new voting bloc, to boot?
The legitimacy of our voting system, especially in Ohio, has taken on a tragicomic quality.
The Demcoratic machine has gone to absurd illegal and unethical lengths to try to secure victory for their boy Obama. It won’t work, but the effects of their manipulation will linger for years, unless the Ohio legislature enacts laws that forbid the molestation of electoral process, and protect us from those who steal the ballot right from our hands.
