The Ohio Republican Party got lower courts to approve their voter suppression tactics, which would have allowed them to use things an error in coding a middle initial to prevent people from voting.

Well, by a 9-0 unanimous vote, the Supreme Court told them to go Cheney themselves.

I’m not sure what shocks me more, the fact that the Supreme Court ruled this way, or that it was unanimous.

It’s clear that the ruling was narrow, on the basis that the Ohio Republican Party lacked standing in the suit:

Instead, they said they were granting Brunner’s request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue.

My guess is that they had 5 votes for democracy, and the other 4 got this narrow ruling, so they wouldn’t look like completely political tools….See Bush v. Gore in 2000.
