10. Thanks...it seems this would not be easy...and certainly not able to be done by July 16th.
Many Dems here in NC come from conservative districts and the local court (whatever it is) is probably Repug/Fundie. Finding a lawyer who doesn't worry about losing Repug business and a court that would be fair in some of these districts would be very hard if not impossible.
