An Ohio judge has ruled that 17-year-olds who would turn 18 before the general election are allowed to vote in primaries, the Hill reports. 

The decision came after the Bernie Sanders campaign sued to change the state law, however, the judge made the ruling from a different legal case that provided the same outcome. 

The decision is a boon for the Sanders campaign.
