Court OKs Voter Challengers at Ohio Polls
1 hour, 16 minutes ago
BY LISA CORNWELL, Associated Press Writer
CINCINNATI - A federal appeals court has cleared the way for challengers to be present at polling places throughout Ohio, ruling early Tuesday that their presence on Election Day was allowed under state law.
A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) ruled 2-1 to grant emergency stays of two federal judges' orders Monday that barred voter challengers from political parties. The judges also consolidated the two appeals, which stemmed from separate lawsuits in Cincinnati and Akron.
Both cases had been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites). It was unclear whether the high court would issue a ruling before polls opened Tuesday morning.
The federal appeals court said that while it's in the public interest that registered voters cast ballots freely, there is also "strong public interest in permitting legitimate statutory processes to operate to preclude voting by those who are not entitled to vote."
The judges also said that smooth and effective administration of the voting laws means that the rules can't be changed hours before the election.

Gonna be a lot harder for Democrats to vote dead people and illegal aliens this time around.
Now why do you think Democrats would have a problem with verifying that voters are legitimate? All a challenger does is check ID to make sure a person is who he claims to be. Who could be against that? Cheating pieces of shit, that's who.
Let's look at it like this: now Democrats can go into Republican strongholds and challenge voters. If Republicans cheat as much as Democrats, it's a wash. Why wouldn't the Democrats be for this, since they are the good guys?
Oh, because they cheat like motherfuckers every single election, and try to change election law after the fact if the regular cheating doesn't work.

I can give you one good reason. What qualifies a "challenger"? Does he have credentials, or do they just bring in Bubba from the local gas station to harrass everyone that looks like a liberal?
