Our state and federal officials, being in the tank for Obama and unable to read law, have decided that a park bench is home sweet home and should be reasonable for an address for voting. I'm not sure if park bench 2-d in said park will be taxable as a property, but now it will have the ability to tax the working class twice, once at tax time when government asks us to pony up for parks and at the ballot when these people will vote for every hand out and every candidate that stoops to being a Populist/Socialist to buy votes. Say, like Barack Obama, Joe Biden and other kings and queens of the dole like Kilroy, Strickland and Sherrod Brown. Nice to have that voting cushion in place to counter those that actually have to pay the damned taxes. Real taxation representation there.

Judge rules Ohio homeless voters may list park benches as addresses
A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must allow homeless voters to list park benches and other locations that aren't buildings as their addresses.
U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus also ruled that provisional ballots can't be invalidated because of poll worker errors.
Monday's ruling resolved the final two pieces of a settlement between the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
The coalition agreed to drop a constitutional challenge to Ohio's voter identification law until after the Nov. 4 election. In return, Brunner and the coalition agreed on procedures to verify provisional ballots across all Ohio counties.
The coalition was concerned that unequal treatment of provisional ballots would disenfranchise some voters.
Yep, there is disenfranchisement now and the poor morons that take pride in their work and work ethic and pay the taxes just got a chance to get screwed legally.
Move over buddy, this end of the bench is all I can afford now. Paying out just shy of 50% of my income makes me want to guzzle cheap wine too.
