A federal judge has upheld Ohio's stringent voter ID law, including its photo provision, dismissing a challenge brought by a Democratic law firm that targeted various provisions, such as photo ID requirements and ballot deadlines.

U.S. District Judge Donald Nugent, appointed by President Clinton, deemed the photo ID requirement to impose minimal, if any, burden on voters, rejecting claims of discrimination raised by the Elias Law Group on behalf of various groups.

Despite objections from Democrats and advocacy groups, Republican Governor Mike DeWine signed the legislation into law, supported by Nugent's ruling.

Nugent also addressed concerns over mail-in and early voting options, highlighting Ohio's revised absentee ballot timetable as more accommodating compared to many other states.
