Election Fears Grow

An appeals court halts a judge’s order, directing Ohio’s elections chief to allow voters to apply for absentee ballots for the November presidential election by electronic means…something sought by Democrats in the pivotal swing state. The appeals court Friday halts the preliminary injunction, issued earlier that day. The court called for arguments and responses from both sides to be filed by Sept. 23. Many are concerned, hackers could hijack the election process. Others think the fear is unwarranted.
