Republicans Lose Attempt to Screw Up Ohio Voting

The Ohio Republicans have been at it again. They've thrown everything at Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner----- except the kitchen sink. Jennifer Brunner has worked doubly hard to undo the mess left behind by Kenneth Blackwell. Every single time she has devised a better way to conduct our elections, the Ohio Republicans have voted down her proposals or went to court.

Bloomberg has the latest on the latest Republican ploy:

The U.S. Supreme Court, siding with Democrats, freed Ohio officials from a lower court order that might have limited participation by new voters in next month's presidential election.

Today's ruling means Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, doesn't have to provide county election boards with lists of new registrants whose information doesn't match up with government databases. A federal trial judge had ordered Brunner to supply the lists by today....

....Ohio is a crucial state for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in his race against Democrat Barack Obama. Without Ohio's 20 electoral votes, McCain would have to carry every other state that voted for George W. Bush in 2004, plus one that voted Democratic. Recent polls indicate Obama has pulled even or ahead in Ohio, a state Bush won by less than 118,000 votes four years ago....

People in Ohio ---- just get out there and vote!!!!!! Make the win for Obama and the Democrats so big that the Republicans will be shocked.
