The U.S. Supreme Court Friday lifted an order that would have required the Ohio Secretary of State implement a system immediately to verify eligibility of thousands of voters to caste ballots.

The order came in response to an emergency stay request by Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, who had been ordered by the full 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to begin implementing the system by Oct. 17, despite the potential that thousands of voters could have faced questions over their right to vote.
