Citizens for Legitimate Government ... said that an old law requires all voter registration forms to be on cards that are 80lb stock paper. This is a hangover from the days when such forms had to be kept for a long time.
However, according to the group, that requirement has long since stopped being important since all applications are immediately scanned and stored in a computer database and are no longer physically stored.
However, for some reason, just before the voter registration date is about to end, Ken Blackwell, the Ohio Secretary of State ordered local election boards to send out 'correct forms' and tell voters to re-apply.
The Citizens for Legitimate Government claims that the local boards have been snowed under with requests and can't process the voter application forms in time.
The result is that they will not be able to vote.
