GOP Wins One Against Ohio's Obama Vote Fraud Enabler

The GOP is definitely fighting an uphill battle in Ohio, especially in light of the opportunities for voter fraud (see here, here and here). With a highly partisan Secretary of State trying to get GOP votes thrown out (along with poll monitors), the GOP will have to fight every step of the way just to have a chance.

Yesterday they won one:

Republicans have won a round with Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in what’s turned into an ongoing dispute over voting procedures.

A unanimous Ohio Supreme Court on Thursday, Oct. 2, ordered Brunner to tell county boards of elections not to reject applications for absentee ballots because of an unmarked box next to next to a statement that the applicant is a qualified elector.

“No vital public purpose or public interest is served by rejecting electors’ applications for absentee ballots because of an unmarked check box next to a qualified-elector statement,” the Supreme Court decision said.

The absentee ballot applications in question were supplied by Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s campaign. Other application forms for absentee ballots don’t include the boxes.

This is just the beginning of the battle for Ohio. Look for lots of highly partisan rulings from Brunner.
