Reply #30: we did both in NC, a state law and we had to go to court

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

Election Integrity can not be won without a multi pronged action.
That means legislation and courts.

The courts have a different roll than the legislature:
-We went to the legislature to get our law.
-We went to court to defend our law.

We then went to court over two issues -

(1)Diebold's temporary restraining order that gave them permission
to ignore most of our law.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation had to get the court to grant
me standing - EFF won that for me then....

EFF won in our efforts to have the judge revoke Diebold's TRO.
Diebold was now bound by NC's law.

(2) We sued the State Board of Elections and the State IT dept to decertify the
vendors (ES&S, Diebold and Sequoia) and examine the machines as the
law stated. The NCSBOE had improperly certified Diebold even though Diebold reps said they
couldn't meet requirements of our law. The other vendors were also improperly certified.

Electronic Frontier Foundation represented me again, and after going through
a few judges (the first one got "sick"), we got a judge who also was the father
of a very influential state lawmaker.

The judge ruled against us and in favor of the SBOE and IT dept.
All our SBOE did was use the ITA report as their exam of the machines.

IF the judge had ruled in our favor, it would have held up the certification
process so much that the primary would have been delayed, and that
would not be politically expedient for the judge.

The judicial system is no purer than the legislative system

You can't get VVPB from going to court.
