Jennifer Brunner

Note the reason.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court sided Friday with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.

The justices overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio's top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.

The 6th district federal court overturned a lower court ruling mandating that Brunner verify voting registrations. Of course it is surreal that a Secretary of State would not want to verify voting lists, but now she has to and thank goodness.

The Columbus Dispatch-I think-is correctly calling what this wrangling between the Ohio Republican Party and her office is doing. Some of the things that have come out of that case is very disturbing. I just hope that whomever wins Ohio does so by a large margin, because I shudder to think what will happen if it comes down to a few thousand votes.
