I assume the State Supreme Court ruling is overturning the federal district court judge? If so, very good news, even though it was close (5-4!)

Yes, overturning the ruling of a radical, Clinton apointee Susan Dlott.

A state court can't overturn a federal court.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think that the State Supreme court has jurisdiction over a federal district court. However, I think that a judge in Akron ruled in such a way as to make a path to the state court for a very similar case. Thus, the state court had an opportunity to rule on the issue.

Although she claims its constitutional in nature, I don't think that this Clinton-appointee leftist fed judge will (or even can) push the issue. She certainly has no time left on the clock for this election.

I count 4-3, but same result.

[Enlightiator]

The vote was 4 to 3, there are seven members of the Ohio Supreme court. Still close, but in the end they interpreted the law correctly.

Great! Two more judges (one a GOP appointee) attempting to rewrite election law for the Dims. We can expect a lot more of this in the next month from the Dims.

I am confused about one thing. I don't think the state Supreme Court has the right to overrule a federal court. The appeal was supposed to go to the 6th Circuit. Maybe the state Supreme Court timed this to make it difficult for the federal judges to get involved again.
