BREAKING: US Supreme Court sides w/Ohio Sec’y of State Brunner


BREAKING (and updated) From the Plain Dealer:

The U.S. Supreme Court has sided with Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner on verification procedures for hundreds of thousands of new voter registrations. Read the full opinion.

The decision is the latest in a string of back-and-forth rulings through the court system as Republicans challenged Brunner, a Democrat, over how identities are checked. On Oct. 9, a federal judge ordered the secretary of state to check the names against databases such as driver records and Social Security lists. Then a federal appeals court sided with Brunner. The full 6th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals swung back to the GOP side. Brunner said she would abide by the ruling — but then appealed to the top court.

I’ll take time to read the opinion, as you can too with the link above.  Thanks to the PD for posting.

I originally posted/quoted from the AP story.

Hattip to tweet which came from someone I follow who saw the announcement on MSNBC as breaking, but MSNBC online doesn’t have anything posted yet about it.

More commentary & analysis as it becomes available.
