A court ruling has not disenfranchised the homeless. Locations other than buildings can be used as addresses:
“A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must allow homeless voters to list park benches and other locations that aren’t buildings as their addresses.”

While the court ruling speaks to the fairness of the voting system, it also opens up avenues of abuse. For example, can one list more than one park bench? Remember the old joke - ‘vote early and vote often‘.
