These three adults came to Ohio from New York and California as part of a grassroots "get out the vote" organization. Although they never intended to reside in Ohio, they registered and voted from an address in Columbus. Nevertheless, these three claim they had good intentions when registering and voting during "Golden Week" in Ohio. (Golden Week was a period of time in which people could register and vote here in Ohio. Because they were casting absentee ballots, voters did not have to show ID or prove their residency status. Furthermore, Republicans were denied the ability to poll-watch during this period. As you can imagine, "Golden Week" was highly controversial.)

"I was paying rent and living full-time in Ohio," Hippensteele told the judge, "I didn't attempt to vote in another state. ... I think it's all a misunderstanding. I have a profound respect for the voting process."
