I heard this got swatted down yesterday. Anyone know?
Turned down cold.
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.

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.
