Voting Rights under attack in Ohio

According to the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News, Ohio's Republican Secretary of State, J. Kenneth Blackwell, is ready to throw out thousands of new voter registrations in that key battleground state because... ...wait for it... ...the Voter Registration Cards are not being printed on the proper 80-lb-stock paper. Peoples' fundamental Federal right to vote is being denied over paper stock. Luckily, the Voting Rights Act provides:

Sec. 1971. - Voting rights (a) Race, color, or previous condition not to affect right to vote; uniform standards for voting qualifications; errors or omissions from papers; literacy tests; agreements between Attorney General and State or local authorities; definitions (1) All citizens of the United States who are otherwise qualified by law to vote at any election by the people in any State, Territory, district, county, city, parish, township, school district, municipality, or other territorial subdivision, shall be entitled and allowed to vote at all such elections, without distinction of race, color, or previous condition of servitude; any constitution, law, custom, usage, or regulation of any State or Territory, or by or under its authority, to the contrary notwithstanding. (2) No person acting under color of law shall - (A) in determining whether any individual is qualified under State law or laws to vote in any election, apply any standard, practice, or procedure different from the standards, practices, or procedures applied under such law or laws to other individuals within the same county, parish, or similar political subdivision who have been found by State officials to be qualified to vote; (B) deny the right of any individual to vote in any election because of an error or omission on any record or paper relating to any application, registration, or other act requisite to voting, if such error or omission is not material in determining whether such individual is qualified under State law to vote in such election.

So, Ohio is now lucky to join the ranks of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, &tc. ca. 1963 Congratulations!
