Ohio Sec Of State Brunner Continues To Aid Voter Fraud Despite Court Order

I knew this story was breaking last night, but I was too tired to do a post about it. This isn't incompetence, this is about putting a Dem in the White House at any cost. Even if that means aiding groups like ACORN in violating laws. Brunner has been sitting on 200,000 questionable ballots and is refusing to allow local election officials to check the validity. Even under an order from the 6th District Court of Appeals, she is refusing. Now she has appealed to the Supreme Court.

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has appealed a case involving the verification of new voter registrations in the state to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Brunner said the appeal of a 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling was filed late last night directly with Justice John Paul Stevens because he oversees the 6th Circuit.

Stevens can outright grant Brunner's request for an emergency order putting the lower court's ruling on hold, reject it, or ask the full Supreme Court to consider the matter.

The appeal, filed by the Ohio attorney general's office, "urgently asks this court to restore order to Ohio's election, which was destabilized" by the lower court "based on a flawed understanding of a simple provision of federal law."

Brunner said her office still is trying to comply with the lower court's order to provide county elections boards with the names of newly registered voters whose personal information do not match state Bureau of Motor Vehicles or federal Social Security records.

Initial estimates are that as many as 200,000 of the nearly 660,000 people who have registered to vote in Ohio since Jan. 1 have mismatches.
