NY TIMES:
Block the Vote, Ohio Remix

voter registration drives comes from Ohio. As the state gears up for a very
competitive election season this fall, its secretary of state, J. Kenneth
Blackwell, has put in place "emergency" regulations that could hit voter
registration workers with criminal penalties for perfectly legitimate
registration practices. The rules are so draconian they could shut down
registration drives in Ohio.
