The Supreme Court is siding with Democrats in refusing to block early voting in the battleground state of Ohio. 

The court on Tuesday refused a Republican request to get involved in a dispute over early voting in the state on the three days before Election Day. 

The campaign of President Obama and Ohio Democrats sued the state over changes in Ohio law that took away the three days of voting for most people, but made exceptions for military personnel and Ohioans living overseas. Democrats say nearly 100,000 people voted in the three days before the election in 2008. 

A federal appeals court ruling reinstated voting on the weekend before the election and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court.
