GOP trying much harder to destroy fabric of democracy

Reports today showed Supreme Court overturned lower courts request from GOP lawsuit in Ohio. How could anyone misperceive the intentions of the GOP here? Disenfranchise voters, and rationally put the U.S. in company with dictatorship nations.  Oh wait, that's been happening for decades already.  Perhaps it is time for change.

The Supreme Court has overturned a lower court’s order requiring state officials in Ohio to supply information that would have made it easier for the Republican Party to challenge the right to vote of as many as 200,000 people in Ohio. Republicans had sued Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to provide county election boards with lists of new registrants whose information didn’t match up precisely with government databases. Carrie Davis of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio praised the court’s decision. She said, “This is a major victory for Ohio voters. Purging voters because of data errors is unlawful. We must continue to be vigilant and fight against these and other forms of voter suppression.”
