By ordering a last minute halt to the start of early voting in Ohio, the U.S. Supreme Court has taken away an important opportunity many Ohioans count on to cast a ballot. This decision injects unnecessary confusion into the electoral process. Our government works best when all voices are included. Limiting access to the ballot box in a manner that disproportionately discourages senior, minority, and disabled citizens, among others, from participating in the electoral process diminishes our democracy, and disenfranchises many Ohioans. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said more than 50 years ago: Justice delayed is justice denied. The same is true of the Supreme Courts ruling today.
