You obviously didn't read the post I replied to, so I will try again.
All provisional ballots are checked against the master list. One more time, in case you didn't read that sentence either. All provisional ballots are checked against the master list.
So to answer your question, there is nothing preventing someone from crossing the state line and going to every precinct and voting, except that none of those votes will count, and if they gave their real name, the master list will reveal them as a multi-voter, and they will be charged with a crime.
Your attempts to confuse this issue with false fears of imagined chicanery are disingenuous. We both know that high voter turnout benefits Democrats. I suspect that is what has you up in arms.
This has nothing to do with voter registration.
This decision says that if you ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN OHIO but accidently show up at the wrong precinct, you can still vote at that precinct. It also says that if you ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN OHIO, but the precinct mistakingly says you are not, you still we be allowed to vote. Your provisional ballot will then be checked against a central voter registrar to make sure you ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN OHIO. If your name is not on the master list, you're SOL.
In other words, you need to stop getting your talking points from Rush Limbaugh.
Wow you're ignorant.
Voting is what those of us in the legal profession call a "fundamental right," that means that the state must prove they are fulfilling the most compelling interest and have considered every posible alternative before constructing any barriers whatsoever. That's not silly liberalism, it's a basic Constitutional right.
Blackwell, the Ohio Secretary of State who got shot down here is working hard to be the new Kathrine Harris. He previously attempted to tear up voter registrations because they were printed on the wrong thickness of paper.
And of course who could forget this absentee ballot, which for some reason omitted the Democratic candidates.
um, wrong.
Ashcroft is conducting the investigation therefore he is the proper defendant in a suit to enjoin against the investigation.
Those of us who have been to law school will recall that Article III of the Constitution allows suit to be brought in Federal Court only for "cases and contraversies," which has been defined to include only those cases where the defendant has inflicted an actual injury against the plaintiff.
Here, the injury in question is the investigation, therefore the person who is inflicting injury is John Ashcroft, not the Legislative Branch.
In other words, I've taken a whole hell of a lot more Civics classes than you have, and you would do well do limit your accusations to things you actually know something about.

True, but why should courts allow yet another thumb to sit on the scales of justice?
