Good news from Ohio
The Republican plan to challenge the legitimacy of thousands of new voters before the election day, I reported on earlier have been kiboshed:
A U.S. District Court judge yesterday effectively ended efforts by Republicans in Ohio to challenge the eligibility of tens of thousands of voters in one of the most closely contested states in this year’s presidential race.
Judge Susan J. Dlott in Cincinnati issued an order preventing local election boards from going forward with plans to notify challenged voters and hold hearings until she hears legal arguments tomorrow. But because her ruling means that those election board hearings cannot take place within the time frame state law requires before the election, Dlott’s ruling killed the GOP effort that had targeted 35,000 voters, Democratic and Republican party officials said.
However, they still intend to go on with their insane plan to put thousands of “poll watchers” inside the voting stations on election day itself, to disrupt the elections “to safeguard the election against fraud”, as they call it.
