Obama Campaign Helping Ohio Repeal Effort

President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is mobilizing supporters in Ohio to help challenge an election law that would shrink the state's early voting period, which helped him in his first run for the White House. Obama for America, the state's Democratic Party and others are working to gather roughly 231,000 signatures by Thursday in an effort to block the law from taking effect until after next year's presidential election. Other GOP-led legislatures in the swing states of Florida and Wisconsin have trimmed early voting periods, though the President’s re-election campaign hasn't sponsored similar activity in those states.
