Early voting fight in Ohio not over

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced today he'll appeal to the U.S.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced today he'll appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court last week's court ruling that restored full early voting rights for all Ohioans. 

Ohio Republicans had tried to pass a law blocking everyone but military personnel from voting 72 hours prior to election day.

However, this ruling still leaves it up to individual counties to decide if they want to implement the 72 hour voting ban.

Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner sounded off on the issue on last night's The Ed Show, including her reaction to a billboard in a predominately African-American neighborhood in Cleveland that warns: "Voter Fraud is a Felony."
