Courtroom Frenzy Over Voter Registration

Republicans are currently suing in three states –Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – to get their hands on so-called “non-match” voter registration lists.Why? Because if the registration info doesn’t line up with Social Security drivers’ license databases, voter credentials can be challenged. The numbers are potentially balance-tipping: 289,603 non-matches in Ohio alone. Steve Rosenfeld’s piece is unabashedly pro-Obama, but the potential for a litigation theater on November 5th is real.
