Judges block challenges on Ohio voter eligibility

TWO US federal judges yesterday barred parties from posting challengers at polling places throughout Ohio, saying poll workers, not outsiders, should determine voter eligibility.

An order by District Judge Susan Dlott in Cincinnati found that the application of Ohio’s statute allowing challengers at polling places was unconstitutional.

In a similar case, District Judge John Adams of Akron said poll workers are the ones to determine if voters are eligible.
