    Audio Recording of 6th Cir. Oral Argument in Ohio Wrong Precinct

Posted on October 10, 2012 8:05 am <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=41377>

The Sixth Circuit website has this notice: "The United States Court of 
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has posted audio files of the telephonic 
arguments conducted on October 1, 2012, in two appeals: Svc. Emp. Intl. 
Union, Loc. 1, et al. v. Husted, No 12-4069, and NE OH Coal. for the 
Homeless, et al. v. Husted, No. 12-3916. The files may be accessed by 
clicking on the following links. 12-3916 
<http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/internet/documents/12-3916.mp3> , 12-4069 
<http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/internet/documents/12-4069.mp3>"

My /Slate /piece on this case is here 
<http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2012/10/ohio_voter_laws_the_battle_over_disenfranchisement_you_haven_t_heard_about_.html>.

I expect we'll get a ruling and opinion by the end of this week.

You can find the statement here 
<http://www.barackobama.com/truth-team/entry/fact-check-obama-for-america-only-accepts-contributions-from-eligible-ameri>.

I try to put this dispute in a larger context about accepting truth in 
close campaigns in my new "Election Truthers
