It is a lie, pure and simple. The lawsuit is against a voter purge stunt that the Ohio GOP have put through. Even Fox News calls Romney's bluff while trying to defend it.. kinda ironic.
Obama campaign sues Ohio over early voting law for military | Fox News
Of course the GOP is trying to spin this law suit into "they want to take away the rights of military personnel" and totally ignore the fact that the GOP took that very same right away from non-military personnel, and that if the Dems win the lawsuit, it wont take any rights away, it will in fact give more rights to the citizens of Ohio... typical GOP horse****.
Sadly Romney had to listen to his GOP handlers instead of actually looking into the case and now his facebook comment is a matter of public record that will be used against him...
This could be costly for him in Ohio if used...
President Obama's lawsuit claiming it is unconstitutional for Ohio to allow servicemen and women extended early voting privileges during the state’s early voting period is an outrage. The brave men and women of our military make tremendous sacrifices to protect and defend our freedoms, and we should do everything we can to protect their fundamental right to vote. I stand with the fifteen military groups that are defending the rights of military voters, and if I'm entrusted to be the commander-in-chief, I'll work to protect the voting rights of our military, not undermine them.

Top Obama campaign officials told Fox News in interviews that the lawsuit in no way tries to restrict the voting rights of military members. All they are trying to do is even the playing field for all voters in Ohio by allowing early voting up until Monday for everyone, including members of the military, because they believe a two-tiered, early-voting process is unfair.
"Along with the DNC and Ohio Democratic Party, this campaign filed a lawsuit to reinstate equal, early-voting rights for all Ohioans -- rights the Republican-controlled legislature arbitrarily stripped away this past year," Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager, told supporters in an email.
