Court Throws Out WI AG Voting Suit
By Kate Klonick - October 23, 2008, 12:30PM


It looks like some of the state and local efforts led by Republicans to stymie voters, aren't panning out.

The latest loss for the GOP comes in Wisconsin. Where the suit filed by Attorney GeneralJ.B. Van Hollen requesting confirmation on thousands of voter registrations, has been thrown out by a county circuit judge the AP reports.

Just yesterday, the Nevada Secretary of State rejected a GOP argument that people who corrected incomplete registration information at the polls should be forced to cast provisional ballots. And in Indiana, a judge ruled against Republican efforts to shut down early polling places in Democratic-heavy areas of a key county.

Last week, the Supreme Court sided with Ohio's Democratic Secretary of State, ruling against ruling against a Republican effort to require her to provide infomration on voters with mismatched registration information to county election officials, which could have led to GOP challenges.

3. Van Hollen is bent enough to be a paper clip

Seriously, it's a major embarrassment that this jackal managed to become AG of my state.

4. I'm not familiar with him, but I'm most certainly impressed by this

county circuit judge!
