Ohio Court Decision on checking voter registrations: Significant or Insignificant?

This apparently reverses a lower court decision. Can't figure out if this is a big deal or not a big deal. Anybody got a well-informed take on this? Obviously the GOP seems to be happy about this. Does that mean that we should be worried about Ohio?

since we have competent leaders, you know democrats...not the darkside...they will get it done.

Change, Hope, Obama!

Significant? Perhaps. But, although losing Ohio would make things more difficult, it would by no means make them impossible.

Very bad for us, but not fatal by itself.

Combined with the Colorado purge and the rest that the New York Times reported,
they could steal this thing from us.

Maybe it'll create another hurdle of sorts, but I can't imagine this is a huge deal. Maybe I'm wrong.

From what I recall four years ago, challenged Ohio voters may be forced to cast provisional ballots, but the sole decision on whether those ballots will count rests with the SoS. Bad news for us last time, with Blackwell making the decisions, but good news this time, since the new SoS is a Democrat.

The GOP's October "Surprise" continues...Even as it's no surprise at all that they are hoping to cause absolute bedlam at the polls. They are off to a good start, as the Democrats seem to be caught flat-footed, despite years of warnings about all of this.

The latest Republican assault on democracy began earlier this week with a 'stunt' raid in (swing state) Nevada, then unsubstantiated allegations in (swing state) Missouri last night (raid coming soon, no doubt), and just hours ago as AP reports, it's (swing state) Ohio...
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Law enforcement officials in southwest Ohio are seeking information on hundreds of voters who registered and voted during Ohio's weeklong same-day voting window.

Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer and representatives of County Prosecutor Stephen Haller have contacted the local Board of Elections asking for the voter registration cards of everyone who voted during the six-day window, which ended Monday.

Haller is the former law partner of Mike DeWine, the former Republican senator who is chairing presidential nominee John McCain's Ohio campaign.



Of course, the GOP's ACORN "Voter Fraud" Scam was picked up today by John McCain on the stump (and, mercilessly, on Fox "News" all morning, naturally). Here's McCain putting the scare tactics first, and democracy and country second, if even that high on his list. Here's the shameful video...
