2. Hey, Landshark, I know you're busy with vital work, but could you re-state this
situation more clearly. I'm confused about what Brunner advocated, what the GOP attacked, what the lower court ruled and what the appeals court ruled, overruled or didn't rule on.

The one thing that seems pretty clear to me is that the GOP challenged early voting (right?) that Brunner was implementing, and the trial court and the appeals court both upheld early voting. (Right?)

But the other points are more confusing. Did Brunner advocate poll watchers for early voting, or not? Why wouldn't she want poll watchers? That was a GOP position (pro-poll watcher?, i.e., so they could challenge lots of Dem votes, intimidate, riot if necessary, to knock down the Dem totals)? And I'm confused on the segregating the early vote thing? GOP wanted it? Brunner didn't? Appeals court agreed with Brunner? Early votes should NOT be segregated, right? (--the pro-democracy position?)

Thanks for this post, and for all your work! Clarify only if you have time.
