Black Box Voting files lawsuit #2: Palm Beach County
(Lawsuit #1 filed by Susan Pynchon of Florida Fair Elections Coalition on Volusia County. )
Today's lawsuit was filed naming Teresa LaPore as defendant, citing her for failure to comply with our public records request of Nov. 2, 2004.
We filed the lawsuit this morning in Palm Beach County, served it per Florida law on LaPore's attorney, but did not want to leave her out. We made a surprise visit to the podium at the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections meeting held today in Orlando, where LaPore was being introduced.
We went in through the kitchen, using a reconassaince map provided by a colleague, led by Kathleen Wynne dressed as hired help. The lovely Kathleen, in black jeans and a white polo shirt. Earlier, she had traveled through the route to the back entrance to the supervisor's meeting, nodding to the waiters, "very nice, very nice," she said authoritatively.
Kathleen led me and Andy through the back way without raising so much as an eyebrow, since she looked like hotel staff.
I went onto the podium and introduced myself to the crowd. "I know I'm interupting. This will only take a minute." I turned to LaPore, "Since we can't get your attention any other way, I'm serving you with a courtesy copy of the lawsuit we served on your office this morning."
LaPore glared, turned her back on me, and refused to take the lawsuit, so I set it on the table in front of her.
Andy stood up in front of the crowd of perhaps 200 Florida elections officials.
"This was a courtesy call on Ms. LaPore for failing to produce public records," he said. "For any of you who have not complied, we have more of these coming."
The crowd erupted into deafening shouts, boos, gavel-pounding, and then Kathleen stepped up smack dab in front of the crowd, took a sturdy stance and panned the crowd with her video camera.
"This is what democracy looks like," she said, as the officials scowled and shouted for the sargeant at arms.
Unfortunately, the sargeant at arms was nowhere to be found. (Perhaps imbibing in the Sequoia Voting Systems lounge, just down the hall? We may never know.)
We made haste out the back door, but accidentally tripped a loud screeching alarm.
At this moment we are relaxing with the Internet in a lounge, but we understand that the meeting broke up and people fanned out all over the place to ... I dunno ... capture us?
Do await a small bit of news on Ohio, thanks to Kathleen and cohorts. It will not shake the earth, but we are chip-chip-chipping away.
Be the media
Thanks, all, for your continued support.

full text of lawsuit: you can find it on the Palm Beach County clerk web site under elections lawsuits -- something like pbcountyclerk.com, perhaps someone can look at that link.
Their tactics are very reminescent of the bolshevic hoards or Castro's thugs barging in and creating havoc with a legal open meeting!! I expected her to say they rounded up everyone and herded them off to...say,Massachusetts!
Bev really is a piece, isn't she? Seriously, the way she giddily presents the whole matter makes it sound like she was describing about this really cool prank she pulled off against another sorority.
She's laughing all the way to the bank, though. I feel sorry to the DUpes that fund her.
This was basically a stunt designed to be captured on camera for the documentary Bev will be marketing. I would like to see the look on Bev's face when she is served a warrant for her arrest for abusing her non-profit organization status because she is making a FOR PROFIT documentary.
