Update: Voting-rights activists cut a deal with Colorado's secretary of state late Wednesday that will ensure some 20,000 voters removed from state rolls will get to cast a ballot.
Colorado is in play with a slight and growing Obama lead, and together with a Virginia win for Obama would all but guarantee a victory for the Democratic nominee.
The GOP is trying suppress voters en masse, courtesy of Colorado's Katherine Harris: Secretary of State Mike Coffman.
Fortunately, the judge hearing the case is Judge John L. Kane, a rule-of-law judge with an honest reputation.
From the Brennan Center for Justice's Susan Lehman:
Colorado may have illegally purged 27,000 voters from the state's voter registration lists.
