I heard this got swatted down yesterday.

Not quite swatted down -- at least not the decision I read last night.

Martin filed (for?) a "writ of mandamus", which is basically an order for a government agency/official to act. In this case, it was a demand/request for action before the election. That was turned down.

However, if I read it correctly, there is still a hearing scheduled for 11/07/2008. That will apparently go on as scheduled.

If I can find the link to it again, I'll post it.

They should make a movie about this guy - he’s a “catch me if you can” styled nutball hiding in plain sight. Reading his wiki was a real shocker. Seems like he’s lived 10 lives; most of them a trainwreck.

"I heard this got swatted down yesterday. Anyone know?"

The only thing swatted down was a writ of mandamus which demanded the hearing date be made "immediate" due to the election date. The suit is still valid and the hearing date is scheduled for 7 November

If I'm getting this right, its been appealed to a higher court--the State Supremes.
