The Supreme Court has rejected a candidate's bid to enter Ohio's Republican primary after an alleged GOP infiltration scheme was exposed, leaving in place a decision by state election officials to disqualify him from the ballot. The court's rejection upholds a ruling that the candidate's involvement with a group accused of attempting to manipulate party primaries through fake voters is grounds for disqualification. The ruling maintains that the candidate's actions undermined the integrity of the electoral process. The decision comes after allegations surfaced about the candidate's ties to a group known as 'Big Foot,' which was accused of spreading false information and manipulating voter registration data.
