Things have already heated up on the electoral litigation front:
A federal judge issued an order about 1:30 a.m. today barring political party challengers from polling places throughout Ohio during Tuesday’s election.
U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott found that the application of Ohio’s statute allowing challengers at polling places is unconstitutional. She said the presence of challengers inexperienced in the electoral process questioning voters about their eligibility would impede voting.
Republicans say they are appealing to the 6th Circuit. If the ruling holds, it will be a big setback in the GOP’s vote suppression plans.
