Victory for voting rights in Ohio

Republicans in Ohio, trying to  make sure that 200,000 Ohio voters would be unable to cast their vote in this election, got defeated today but the US Supreme Court who overturned the appeals court ruling that the Ohio Secretary of State would be required to set up a process by today to deal with possible voter registration issues.

The problem here was that Republicans did not want you to be able to vote if your voter registration has you as “John Smith” but your DMV records say “John T. Smith”. So at least for today, we have a victory for Democracy.
