| Description | State GOP says it will appeal ruling
CINCINNATI, Ohio (CNN) -- A federal judge Monday barred political party challengers from questioning Ohio voters' registrations at the polls on Election Day.
The state Republican Party immediately said it would challenge the judge's ruling in hopes of having the order overturned in time for Tuesday's election in Ohio, an important battleground state that could throw the presidential contest either way.
The Republican Party has said it wants its challengers at polls to prevent voter fraud, as allowed by state law.
Following a rare Sunday night hearing on the issue, U.S. District Judge Susan J. Dlott said that allowing inexperienced challengers to question voters' registrations at the polls would disrupt the election process. |
