Trump-appointed Judge casts tie-breaking vote to boost Trump’s chances in OH, limiting Ohio’s largest counties to only one ballot drop box.

This is partisan BS dressed up in legalese solely to entrench power. Vote them all out then fix democracy.

Americans don't give up that easily.

And maybe take a shit on the judge's lawn on the way back.

Their only hope is to suppress the votes of non-rural areas.

They already get far too much representation from lower-population areas. Then they gerrymander districts to enhance that unfair advantage, pack the courts, etc.

They will stop all progress. I’ve thought this since trump put in 200 judges.

We will find it and impeach their asses.

It may be a real bitch being a turd appointed judge. Life may not be very fun, being under the microscope. Sometimes people resign when they aren't having fun any more...

State AG, a real piece of work, Immediately appealed to the R-heavy 5th circuit.

I assume D’s in Ohio will demand en banc or SCOTUS.
