A Missouri judge on Friday denied a Republican committeeman's effort to force the state's third-largest county to allow watchers or challengers to observe early voting.
Judge Dewayne Johnson wrote that the document filed by St. Charles County Central Committeeman Travis Allen Heins “fails to satisfy the requirements” of a temporary restraining order. Johnson didn't consider the merits of the case but dismissed the challenge because it wasn't written meeting state legal standards.
