The Supreme Court on the 17th, sided with Democrats in this case involving Ohio’s Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
As you know, there are 200,000 voter registrations that don’t match their DMV records and Social Security numbers and so forth. The secretary of state of Ohio, she was saying,
“I don’t have time to implement this by Friday.”
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals said, (paraphrasing)
“You gotta straighten this out. You gotta figure out which of these people are legit and which aren’t, you gotta do it by Friday.”
So she ran to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court — I think it’s the full court, I don’t think it was just Justice Stevens — said that the setup in Ohio is sufficient as it is to weed out all these fraudulent voters.
Republicans were contending the information for counties that they wanted Brunner to give would help prevent fraud, and Jennifer Brunner said the Republicans are trying to disenfranchise voters.
Ha! These are already known to be fraudulent registrations!
So basically Jennifer Brunner, the secretary of state for Ohio, went to the Supreme Court, said,
“Let my people cheat,”
and the United States Supreme Court said,
“So ordered. Your people can cheat.”
