The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has handed the Ohio republics their collective asses on a platter. And if The repigs plan to dienfranchise 35,000 mostly democratic voters has been thwarted.
And if U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott extends her order stopping the hearings (which must be held within two days of the election) the nefarious republic plan is dead in the water.

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 court action could prevent the hearings from ever taking place because they must be held within two days of the election, state Republicans have said."

"On the questioned voter registrations, the GOP originally challenged about 35,000 voters but has had little success in having registrations rejected. The party withdrew about 7,500 challenges because of mistakes, and county elections boards have thrown out hundreds more."
