ACLU of Ohio fights back against voter suppression

Remember the 2004 election in Ohio and the long lines made up of mostly people of color, well they could be back.  The Supreme Court upheld recent laws passed in Ohio that are designed to suppress the votes of minorities, young and working class.  These laws will eliminate same day registration and cut ealy voting days and times.  The ACLU of Ohio recently fought to overturned the new voting laws and won in both the U.S. District Court and the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, but the State appealed it and the Supreme court of the overturned the lower courts upholding the laws as constitutional.

In an interview, Drew Dennis an attorney for the Ohio ACLU, discusses the new voting laws and the case they presented to the courts in hope of getting them declared unconstitutional.
