FitzGerald Blasts Supreme Court Decision to Block Start of Early Voting in Ohio

CLEVELAND - Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald issued the following statement today:
“I am extremely disappointed that the Supreme Court has chosen to stop early voting in Ohio just 16 hours before it was set to begin. As my administration has said all along, local boards of election should reserve the ability to set early voting hours that are most appropriate and beneficial for the constituents in their jurisdictions. Today’s decision undermines that fundamental principle and makes it even more difficult for thousands of middle class families across the State of Ohio to make their voices heard this November. It is extremely unfortunate that five justices have chosen today to impose a right-wing political agenda on the State of Ohio.”.
