Sixth Circuit Clears Way for November 2010 Ohio Ballots to be Counted in Juvenile Court Race

On April 16, the 6th circuit refused to stay the U.S. District Court order in Hunter v Hamilton County Board of Elections, 12-3224. This is the long-running election dispute in Cincinnati, Ohio, over whether certain provisional ballots in a November 2010 partisan race for Juvenile Court Judge should be counted. The vote was 2-1. Judges Karen Moore and R. Guy Cole, Clinton appointees, were in the majority. Dissenting is Judge John M. Rogers, a Bush Jr. appointee. Here is the brief order. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
