The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“"The compelling State interests the Ohio Legislature seeks to protect by its contested statutes is the integrity of all political parties and membership therein. These Ohio statutes seek to prevent `raiding' of one party by members of another party and to preclude candidates from' . . . altering their political party affiliations for opportunistic reasons.' State ex rel Bible v. Board of Elections, 22 O. S.2d 57, 258 N.E.2d 227 (1970). Protection of party membership uniformly applied to all parties cannot be characterized as `invidious discrimination' as defined in Williams. The United States Supreme Court has recognized the need to `protect a party from intrusion by those with adverse political principles' to be a legitimate purpose for said legislature. Ray v. Blair, 343 U.S. 214 , 72 S.Ct. 654 , 96 L.Ed. 894 (1952)." The requirement of the challenged statutes insuring party integrity and party political affiliation, together with the exemptions enacted to aid emerging political parties, are simple, reasonable, and uniform procedures designed to accomplish the desired result."”
