Ohio GOP Loses Bid to Fight Registrations

Score one for the good guys. The only question - will Blackwell make emergency appeal to SCOTUS?

Ohio GOP Loses Bid to Fight Registrations

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Republicans lost an attempt Friday to restart hearings on thousands of voter registrations the party has contested, and the court's decision could mean the hearings will never be held.

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati turned down several Republican appeals, clearing the way for a lower-court judge to decide whether to extend her temporary order stopping the hearings...
The 6th CCA is (if I remember correctly) two Republicans and one Demcrat, so this is incredibly surprising.

Score one for the good guys.
