    "New Dispute over Ohio's Provisional Voting Procedures"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=43309>

Ned Foley 
<http://electionlawblog.org/New%20Dispute%20over%20Ohio%27s%20Provisional%20Voting%20Procedures>: 
"For all three of these reasons, it seems problematic for the federal 
court to grant the relief the plaintiffs now request, even if it were 
appropriate for the court to reach the merits of plaintiffs' new claim. 
Ordinarily, I am hesitant to evaluate the merits of a pending issue 
before a court until I've had the opportunity to read and reflect upon 
the full briefing of the issue, from all sides to the litigation. In the 
present situation, there are more briefs to come this week from both 
plaintiffs and the Secretary of State (and perhaps others), according to 
a schedule 
<http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/BriefingSchedule_001.pdf> set 
by the court. But because there has been considerable media attention 
<http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/ohios-provisional-ballot-order-the-biggest-legal-story-of-the-weekend/264498/> to 
this issue over the weekend, I thought it might be helpful (for members 
of the public trying to understand what is going on) to offer this 
preliminary analysis of the issue---even though it is necessarily 
tentative in light of the still-unfolding nature of litigation."

    Thought for Today <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=43306>

What if Sandy hit Florida or Ohio, and it was up to election officials 
there to decide what do to about voters who cannot reach their polling 
places?  What if a Democrat election official allowed voting by email 
for displaced voters?

We need a /national/ emergency plan for our elections.
