Vote from Home 08
Basic facts
Location:Columbus, Ohio

Vote from Home 08 was a New York registered Political Action Committee (PAC) with operations in Columbus, Ohio.

The organization was founded following a new law from the State of Ohio called the "No excuse law," which allows voters to cast their ballots early or vote absentee without having an official excuse.

Note: Vote from Home '08 is no longer operational and has no online presence.

Noteworthy events

An investigation by a local prosecutor was launched after it was found that one home hosted the registrations of 13 out-of-state voters, including four who lived in New York but had registered in Ohio after staying in the home for 30 days. The voters, leaders of Vote from Home '08, cast their votes in the state, which offered early voting up to 29 days before Election Day. They all voted again on September 30, 2008, by absentee ballot.[1][2]

The group asserted that it did nothing wrong and all adhered to the state’s residency laws.[1][2]
