COLUMBUS, Ohio -- About 500 people stopped traffic in downtown Columbus Monday as they marched to Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell's office, NBC 4's Natalie Walston reported.

Those marching were upset about a final court ruling on the handling of provisional ballots in Ohio.

Democrats challenged a law in Ohio that said a voter could only vote in his or her assigned precinct. But a three-judge panel shot down the challenge, saying people needed to vote where they are assigned.

The group of protestors alleged that Republicans were limiting the number of voters, Walston reported.

'I'm concerned with people knowing where their voting locations are, and there are a number of new voters who have registered,' Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, D-Cleveland, said.
