CLEVELAND — The Latest on legal arguments over allegations Republican volunteers are engaging in voter intimidation in the guise of preventing voter fraud (all times local):

2:10 p.m.

A judge in Cleveland has issued a temporary restraining order against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign and a Republican political operative from harassing or intimidating Ohio voters.

U.S. District Judge James Gwin ruled Friday in a lawsuit filed by the Ohio Democratic Party that anyone who engages in intimidation or harassment inside or near Ohio polling places would face contempt of court charges. Gwin dismissed the Ohio Republican Party as a defendant in the case.

The OH law is no campaigning within 100 feet of a voting entrance, and according to the Poll Workers Training Manual, it is strictly enforced. Inside the voting place, no campaign materials or candidate preferences are allowed. FWIW, I early voted at that Cleveland site Tuesday, and those rules were in force.

Thus, I'd like more information about what these Trump supporters were doing that caused the judge to take action.

I might just go to the poll and pretend to be a pro-Hillary observer, since the order only applies to Trump observers...

I think the GOP signed something a long time ago that prevents them from fighting voter fraud.

They have done this in PA also. From what I understand the poll watcher (at least in PA) must be from the same county.
They can’t stop someone then.

Ohio is still the prize. This is 2004 all iver again. The only thing that could change is PA goes to Trump and VA goes to Clinton.

You are halfway there, Democrats are Socialists, Communists, but most of all Collectivists. Just like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, the clerics of Iran, or those of the house of Saud. Progressivism is just a happy name on the road to totalitarianism, not ultimate happiness for all mankind. They MUST be stopped at the ballot box, because if Clinton is elected we will need the bullet box. With Trump, we have a chance, but not a guarantee things may turn around. Donald Trump is a “Hail Mary Pass”.

I would think that if anyone sees something crooked going on and records it, reports it or attempts to stop it, they will be arrested. As someone already said, this is an open cheat site.

That may be why he dismissed the Ohio Republican Party as a defendant.

So the New Black Panthers with guns at a polling place are not intimidating but poll watchers are? Mmmm.
