What Barriers Stand in Your Way to the Polls? - "In Florida, election law changes in 2005 stripped the ability of the voter to refute a challenge at the polls. The voter is given a provisional ballot with just two days to prove his case. In Ohio, election law changed in 2006 to eliminate partisan challengers at the polls. Instead, all challenges must be submitted before Election Day and brought before an election board, but the challenged voter doesn't have to be notified. The voter then has the burden to prove he's eligible at the polls or vote with a provisional ballot." 6/4/08
