The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was right to reverse the United States District Court granting a temporary ban on requiring voter identification for absentee ballots. Ohio is one of the state where the races will be tight. And many absentee ballots will determine the winner. Absentee ballots are handled by the election workers where fraud in some states have been documented.
And it is for that reason that a photo identification should be required. However this issue is different from the requirement of a photo identification at the polls. State officials are arguing that federal law banning the photo identification is interfering with state law in requiring photo identification for absentee voters. Eventually, The United State Supreme Court will have to rule on several issues involving photo identification for voting. The confusion with the photo identification requirements will turn away many voters unnecessarily.
