[ale] OT: VoterGA Lawsuit Appeal to Georgia Supreme Court

[aaron]

The saga of restoring legitimate election processes to Georgia
continues.  If you haven't been able to help the fight against
incompetent, zero-evidence electronic voting machines in
other ways, I hope you'll consider a donation to Voter GA.

The lawsuit is very strong and has been handled obscenely
by the judge in this initial ruling, including an eight month
delay in officially filing the ruling so we could respond.  Please
help us take this to the State Supreme Court where it might get
a fair consideration of the merits.

VoterGAers,

In the last couple of weeks we finally were able to obtain a written
order in our case and analyze it. The order is amazing in that the
judge:

·         Never ruled on any of the arguments we presented;

·         Never considered a single shred of evidence we provided;

·         Misapplied the law in citing previous case law that actually
confirms our constitutional arguments;

·         Made approximately 6  conclusions that were in direct
conflict with the evidence we presented in the case;

·         Made roughly another 9 conclusions citing facts that were
actually in dispute and thus required a hearing.



We recently had a meeting with our attorneys and they believe that we
should appeal this initial ruling in our case directly to the Georgia
Supreme. Once our appeal is  finalized we will post the ruling, an
analysis of it and our appeal brief. Until then, we must keep the
details confidential. I will be able to discuss some of those details
this Thur. Mar. 19th after the movie showing on the Clint Curtis
story, a documentary about a computer expert who was has testified
before the U.S. Congress as to how he was hired by the former Florida
House majority leader to rig electronic voting equipment and how easy
that is to accomplish. This movie and my briefing will be in room 201
of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation building on the I-85 N.
access road about ½ mi. north of Druid Hills Rd.. Try to make it if
you can.



The appeal must be filed within 30 days of the order that was filed on
Feb. 20, 2009. Our attorneys are working on the appeal now but they
are operating on a shoestring budget. We desperately need to raise
more funds to move the evidence and our case into the Georgia Supreme
Court where we should be able to get a more legitimate ruling. The
evidence that we have uncovered is astounding and you can see some
highlights on the web site at www.voterga.org.



We are at a critical juncture and need your help once again to get
this case heard at the highest level in Georgia. Please click here to
