This cause originated upon the filing of a complaint for a writ of mandamus. Upon consideration of relators’ motion for an emergency peremptory writ of mandamus,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that relators’ motion be, and hereby is, granted, and that a writ of mandamus be, and hereby is, granted to compel respondent Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell to reissue and enforce his October 26, 2004 Directive 2004-45 to all eighty-eight counties insofar as it permits, in accordance with R.C. 3505.21 and 3506.13, one duly designated challenger per precinct and, after the polls close, one duly designated witness per precinct, no matter how many precincts vote at a single location.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a writ of mandamus be, and hereby is, granted to compel respondent Franklin County Board of Elections and the remaining eighty-seven county boards of elections to comply with this directive. This order is based solely on this court’s interpretation of state statutes.

Just OH (interpreting application of an OH statute). That's my ejumakated guess. But it is late, so get a confirmation.
Why? You'd think they would have wanted to field multiple watchers too, if they really believed their own paranoia.
The executive of OH has a spat with itself. Where was the governor on the matter?
If Ohio is like most other states, the governor would have no say in telling the Secretary of State how to do his job. SoS is an elected position, and is most likely not answerable to the governor. Maybe I'm wrong about this as it relates to Ohio, but this is most likely the way it is.
Yep...It has been obvious for weeks. Massive democrat vote fraud.
Very recent. And yes, it was after the report on Brit's show. This overturns that decision.
Senate? Screw that, Blackwell needs to run for Prez!! :-)
