Ohio Round 2...

...to the good guys. And it might just be game, set and match in Ohio for keeping hired thugs away from the polls in minority districts:

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Republicans lost an attempt Friday to restart hearings on thousands of voter registrations contested by the GOP, and the court’s action could mean the hearings will never be held.

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati turned down several Republican appeals, clearing the way for a lower-court judge to decide whether to extend her temporary order stopping the hearings.

The court action could prevent the hearings from ever taking place because they must be held within two days of the election, state Republicans have said.
