Roughly 30 days from now House Bill 194 is supposed to go into effect. This bill, passed by the Republican controlled Ohio General Assembly, can seriously impact the Democrats chances of retaining the White House and the Senate seat held by Sherrod Brown. Issues with the bill:
• It reduces the number of days that mail-in absentee voting can occur before the election from 35 days to 21.

The Ohio Democratic Party and allied groups are in the beginning stages of an effort to repeal House Bill 194 -- the Republican voter suppression bill -- which makes it harder for Ohioans to vote and makes fewer votes count. In Franklin County, for instance, four out of ten voters would be impacted by House Bill 194.
Here's some of what the Republican voter suppression bill does:
1. Dramatically shortens the number of early voting days -- disproportionately impacting working people.

More than 100 rally to repeal SB5
There were dozens of Democrats and other folks interested in ending John Kasich's threat to the middle class at the Rally for Repeal May 15 at Upper Arlington High School.
There was brisk business at the table where petitions were available for voters to sign. And all three Columbus television stations interviewed Gov. Strickland, who defended teachers, firefighters, police officers, nurses and other public employees against the attack of extremists.
