COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must
allow homeless voters to list park benches and other locations that aren't
buildings as their addresses.

U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus also ruled that provisional ballots can't
be invalidated because of poll worker errors.

Monday's ruling resolved the final two pieces of a settlement between the
Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Secretary of State Jennifer
Brunner.

The coalition agreed to drop a constitutional challenge to Ohio's voter
identification law until after the Nov. 4 election. In return, Brunner and
the coalition agreed on procedures to verify provisional ballots across all
Ohio counties.

The coalition was concerned that unequal treatment of provisional ballots
would disenfranchise some voters.

Unbelievable. I think I'll register as homeless in Ohio. Why not?
