Reply #12: The litigation fund is for CASE Ohio, and this is an important suit

[BevHarris]

However, as I understand it, it is up to the people from CASE to fund their own suit since EFF-suggested lawyers didn't want to litigate against touch screens in punch card locations. CASE needs to come up with $10,000, and they need a few big checkbooks in this. They are making very good progress towards this goal.

The EFF-sponsored donation page gives access to tax deductibility for the lawsuit, but it will be important to hold EFF to its promise to make these funds available exclusively for CASE Ohio litigation, and since their suggested lawyers didn't want to fight touch-screens in punch card counties, they should certainly assist with the outstanding elections law attorney located by CASE Ohio.

Do donate. This is urgent.

Also, since EFF says it is raising $250,000 for litigation activities, yet Andy did not receive any assistence when he requested it on his lawsuit, and the CASE Ohio people were unable to get assistence and had to go find (and fund) their own lawyer, one very meaningful type of support EFF could provide would be to send out a solicitation for the critically important Ohio litigation to all its donors and membership.

I will be doing the same with Black Box Voting membership, because I have met the people in Ohio who are behind this. They will file suit against every county who went ahead and reaffirmed a contract for touch screens in Ohio, as many as 31 counties.
