    Federal Judge in Ohio Issues Opinion Requiring More Provisional
    Ballots to Be Counted <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=42527>

On Wednesday I noted <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=42322>that a federal 
district court, in the /SEIU/ case on remand from the Sixth Circuit, has 
expanded the number of provisional ballots which Ohio must count because 
of poll worker error to include ballots cast by voters in the wrong 
location (and not just the wrong precinct).  The judge issued the order 
orally and promised a written opinion

Here is the opinion. 
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/SEIU-Opinion.pdf>  No 
word yet if the state will appeal to the Sixth Circuit---and there may 
yet be action in the Sixth Circuit's first ruling in this case.  I'll 
have more on this soon.
