The Supreme Court Monday denied an emergency request filed by Democratic lawyers to reinstate a federal court order barring the Trump campaign from engaging in activities that Democrats allege could lead to voter intimidation in Ohio.
The ruling is a win for the Trump campaign and the GOP state parties, which have successfully fended off several pre-emptive lawsuits filed by Democrats across the country that accuse Trump and Republicans of “conspiring to threaten and intimidate minority voters in urban neighborhoods from voting in the 2016 election.”
Democrats are seeking temporary restraining orders against the Trump campaign and Republicans, as they raise the alarm of possible voter intimidation due to comments from the GOP nominee and others.
But while judges have at times been sympathetic, Democrats have now faltered in each case where a hearing has been held: Ohio, Nevada and Arizona. Monday, federal judges will hold hearings in two additional states, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
