This election, the issue of voter disenfranchisement was front and center in several key states across the country. One of the most-controversial moves in the case of voter suppression and the potential robbery of democracy occurred in the battleground state of Ohio.

Stunned by the trouncing of Mitt Romney in last week’s election by President Barack Obama, Republicans and other right-leaning groups are scrambling for ways to advance conservative ideals in the face of defeat.
