The U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene today in a unsuccessful voter intimidation lawsuit filed by the Ohio Democratic Party.
The state party filed an emergency request for the nation’s high court to lift a Cincinnati-based federal appeals court order. That ruling Sunday granted the Donald Trump campaign's request to block a Cleveland federal judge’s restraining order that Democrats said was needed to prevent voter intimidation.
A 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals three-judge panel said Ohio Democrats didn't show “a likelihood of success” on their case's merits.
