Yeah, I already had the correct info on this as a pollworker in the
election, so I had to hunt down the source of the inaccuracy. C'est la

Your page also says that in your county, no-party-preference voters may

7-2 USSC decision with Scalia writing for the majority, Kennedy writing
a concurring opinion, and Stevens dissenting, joined by Ginsburg.
