Election law cases can be and are decided quickly. In the election of 1976, I went from trial court in Texas (loss), through the Circuit Court in New Orleans (loss again) to the US Supreme Court (victory) in one month. McCarthy v. Briscoe, September, 1976.

It can be done that quickly any time it's needed. Witness Bush v. Palm Beach Canvassing Board, 2000, which went through the Supreme Court twice in two months. Time to act is not a problem in such cases.

BTW, I filed successful Supreme Court briefs in both of those cases, so I know this can be done.

In your estimation would filing such lawsuits help or hinder a budding young lawyer’s career? Something has to be done to get the MSM to pick up this story.
