Judge Piersol issues his ruling

DVT:

The judge has issued an order restricting Republicans from recording license plate numbers of people leaving the polls in Charles Mix County.

UPDATE: More from DVT:

Well, this is a kick in the pants for the Democrats, who wanted the judge to force the Republican Party to completely re-deploy all its poll watchers. They had no substantive evidence, they relied on a Howard Dean operative who has been here for a day as the basis for their case, they looked desperate, they didn't get the relief they wanted, the entire GOP poll watching system is still in place, and more questions have been raised about why Democrats are so paranoid about people "ostentatiously taking notes."
