From Cleveland.com: An Ohio judge on Friday granted a request to let 17-year-olds vote in the swing state's presidential primary on Tuesday.
Ohio allows 17-year-olds who will be 18 before the fall election to vote in Tuesday's primary, with some exceptions. Young Ohio voters can decide on congressional, legislative and mayoral contenders, but they can't vote on ballot issues or candidates for a political party's governing body.
Whether the teens can vote in the presidential primary race had been under dispute in the perennial battleground.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, said about 7 p.m. Friday that he has reversed his plans to appeal the ruling.
"Upon learning that the 10th District Court of Appeals do not plan to hear an appeal on the lower court's decision until the day before the election, even if we were to prevail, there is no effective way to responsibly make the changes necessary to implement an orderly election," Husted said in an updated statement.
Even though Husted still says that "this last-minute legislating from the bench on election law has to stop," he will direct all county boards of election to comply with the court order, according to the statement.
"Our system cannot give one county court the power to change 30 years of election law for the entire state of Ohio, 23 days into early voting and only four days before an election," Husted said in a news release. "We will appeal this decision because if there is a close election on Tuesday we need clarity from the Supreme Court to make sure that ineligible voters don't determine the outcome of an election."

This was a gift wrapped present to Bernie Sanders bought for him by a corrupt judge who did not follow state law.
And this is just the beginning of dirty tricks the democrats will try and do at your local neighborhood judge. They will go to court at the last minute to overturn any election they can, so that they will benefit from the court cases.
Actually, Speaker.......
