The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals' rejection of GOP motions will allow a lower-court judge to extend a six-county ban on hearings challenging tens of thousands of bogus voter registrations.

And who might that judge be? Why, U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott, the same Clinton appointee (1995) who ruled against fair elections in the first place.

Stopping the hearings "has just thrown Ohio's electoral process into disarray, and has opened the door to voter fraud," noted Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro, who filed one of the appeals.

More Democrat sleaze: Brazen partisans in Akron sued Thursday to obstruct Republicans from challenging illegitimate "voters" at polling places.
