NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A federal judge in New Jersey on Saturday denied a motion by the Democratic National Committee to sanction the Republican National Committee before Election Day.

Judge John Michael Vazquez's ruling came one day after lawyers for the Democrats had argued that Republicans were coordinating with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump to intimidate voters in violation of an agreement that the RNC has been forced to follow since 1982.

Republican Party lawyers denied those claims.

Vazquez wrote that the documents provided to the court by the RNC showed no indication it was working in concert with the Trump campaign on activities that might constitute voter intimidation. But the judge said he would allow for additional arguments after the election to decide whether the consent decree slated to expire next year should be extended.

A little common sense on the issue of voter fraud.  The Arizona decision by the Supreme Court - that Arizona can, in fact, prohibit get-out-the-vote people from collecting absentee ballots and bringing them to polling stations - is even better.
