Ohio: ACLU sues to require counting OCR ballots in precincts
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio filed a lawsuit Thursday to block Cuyahoga County's switch to a paper ballot voting system for the March 4 primary election.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Cleveland, argues the county's new system violates the U.S. Constitution and Voting Rights Act of 1965 because it doesn't give voters a chance to fix mistakes on their ballots.
The ACLU said it will seek an injunction next week to block the voting-system switch.
The county already is deep into its transition to paper ballots. Poll-worker training is under way, and ballots compatible with the new equipment are being designed. -- ACLU files suit to block paper ballots - cleveland.com
