• explaining that the district court’s reliance on Ohio State Conference was “not sound”
• relying on Gingles as second step of a two-part test dependent on socioeconomic factors and historic voting practices
• affirming a ruling enjoining enforcement of Ohio laws regulating the hours for voting
• affirming the district court’s finding that voting by mail is not a viable alternative means of access to the ballot for African Americans, lower-income individuals, and the homeless because, inter alia, they are distrustful of the mail and/or voting by mail
• it is incorrect to assume that future elections in Ohio will not contain the same campaign effects as did the 2008 and 2012 elections
• “African Americans’ lower-socioeconomic status in turn plays a key role in explaining why the disproportionate impact of SB 238 and Directive 2014-17 burdens African Americans’ voting opportunities.”
