Out of the Supreme Court, no less:

The Supreme Court is siding with Ohio’s top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.

The justices on Friday overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio’s top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, faced a deadline of Friday to set up a system to provide local officials with names of newly registered voters whose driver’s license numbers or Social Security numbers on voter registration forms don’t match records in other government databases.

Ohio Republicans contended the information for counties would help prevent fraud. Brunner said the GOP is trying to disenfranchise voters.

The GOP will still have their challengers at the polls, but this takes away a huge roadblock that would have disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of first-time voters before they even got to their polling places.

Kudos to Ms. Bruner for bringing integrity back to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office.
