Jon Husted: As secretary of state, carried out the 2014 end of Golden Week, the period when Ohioans could register and vote early on the same day, which the legislature's Senate Bill 238 eliminated, and by directive further cut evening and most Sunday early-voting hours. The NAACP, the League of Women Voters of Ohio and Black churches sued; a federal judge ordered it restored in 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed that order, and a 2015 settlement ended Golden Week permanently while adding some evening and Sunday voting hours.
