Military Groups Upset over Obama's Ohio Voting Suit

Campaign challenging rules that allow military and military families overseas more time to cast ballots.

The National Guard Association of the United States and more than a dozen other fraternal military groups asked a U.S. judge for permission to intervene in and oppose a lawsuit filed by President Barack Obama's campaign challenging the fairness of Ohio's early voting rules.

The campaign sued Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Jon Husted on July 17, claiming the state's two-tiered early voting process violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantees of equal protection under the law.
