Democrats Turn To Supreme Court To Save 'Golden Week' Of Early Voting

A coalition of Ohio Democratic groups asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to put the brakes on an appeals court ruling last week that could make it harder for black voters to cast ballots this year.

The Democrats are trying to restore “Golden Week,” a six-day early voting period in which Ohioans could both register and vote in person on the same day. It was an option disproportionately used by African-Americans.
