Appeals Court Sides With Ohio Republican Party On Voter Registration
ACSBlog: The Blog of the American Constitution Society — ... The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, in a ruling that reverses one it issued last week, says the Ohio Secretary of State must take other actions to ensure that thousands of new voters have not engaged in “vote fraud.” The Associated Press reports that the full Sixth Circuit ruled that Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner must use other state records and the Social Security database to verify hundreds of thousands of new voter registrations before Election Day.

The insertion of "Friday" is important, since this is clearly impossible. We know this is going to result in ...
