Great News for Fair Elections in Ohio

In case you missed the wonderful news over the weekend, a federal appeals court has slapped down that Clintonista judge who ruled in favor of massive vote fraud in crucial Ohio.

But the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday noted that Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell was correct in noting that people must be responsible enough to vote in the right place and not commit fraud in as many precincts as they can visit on Nov. 2.

Ohio's foundering Democrat party and left-wing groups said they would not appeal the court's decision.

"Today's ruling reaffirms Secretary Blackwell's understanding of the law," Blackwell's spokesman Carlo LoParo stated Saturday. "Unfortunately the frivolous lawsuits filed by the Ohio Democratic Party and its allies have needlessly wasted the valuable time of election officials across the state as they prepare for this important election."
