A federal judge in Michigan blocked a state law that made it a crime to hire drivers to take people to the polls, handing a victory to the pro-Joe Biden super PAC that challenged the law.
District Judge Stephanie Davis, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, granted a preliminary injunction on Thursday, blocking the state law and lifting the restrictions on paying to transport people to polling places. The lawsuit was filed by Priorities USA, a pro-Biden group, which says it wants to spend money in Michigan to help people participate in the election.
"Congress implemented a statutory scheme and gave citizens the right to spend money on transporting voters to the polls. The November election is nearly upon us and any particular election only occurs once," Davis wrote, concluding that the only way to prevent people's rights from being violated for the upcoming election was to temporarily block the state law.
Because of the transportation law, Michigan was the only state in the country where Uber didn't offer discounted rides to the polls in past elections, according to earlier court filings.
"This decision by the Michigan District Court is a victory for all Michigan voters and another defeat for the baseless laws that make exercising the right to vote more difficult," Guy Cecil, chairman of Priorities USA, said in a statement Thursday evening.
The judge rejected an attempt by liberal groups to ease restrictions on who can handle absentee ballot applications. Michigan doesn't let political organizations play a role in the application process for mail ballots -- only voters and their family can handle the paperwork.
So is this going to be Bush v Gore on steroids?
Now Michigan follows suit.
A small taste of what's to come. Armies of lawyers, filing suits on all sorts of things, just to tie up the result.
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
Gonna be a true cluster flux now that Ginsberg is assuming room temperature.
If people pay attention, the RINOs truly will out themselves. If Trump puts through a nomination, ordinarily you'd expect it to steamroller through, and give the dems a taste of their own medicine. However, some bipedal garbage who happen to have an R after their names are not likely to do so. There's about 4 of them.

“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
That's the trouble.
