I’m about to start reading it.
Re: 160 - Thanks for posting this.
Disappointing that the thread is filled with lazy posters who would rather get spoon fed what the ruling says by others, vs. going to the primary source document.
Money statement:
“The
margin of victory as reported by the official canvass is 17,117 votes – beyond the scope of a
statutorily required recount”
That’s an old trick. Using an absolute value vs a relative value.
The percentile margin is 0.6%, exactly 0.1% above the mandatory recount threshold.
So that gives away the rest of the Mormon conniver’s screed masquerading as a judgement. It’s carefully written to amplify the irrelevant and minimize the actual damages.
He claims in his basic ruling that Arizona law has long held a high standard:
“It is the object of elections to
ascertain a free expression of the will of the voters, and no mere irregularity can be considered,
unless it be shown that the result has been affected by such irregularity.”
42.5% of the votes in one county being tainted is a “mere irregularity”?
Guess that makes a gunshot wound a minor abrasion.
The opinion is a joke. It’s an intentional sandbag. He probably wrote it a week before the trial. No way he wrote this on Friday.
