The battleground state of Ohio will be the focus of even more attention this presidential race. The Supreme Court has made a crucial decision, announcing Tuesday that it will side with the Democrats in refusing a Republican request to block early voting in the key election state.

According to Democrats, more than 100,000 people voted in the three days before the election in 2008. The vital 72-hour early voting window could be a decisive factor between Romney and Obama, in the state that many believe will determine the next president.
