Fitrakis-Wasserman Announce Filing of Restraining Order at D.C. Press Conference

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Fitrakis-Wasserman-Announc-by-Marta-Steele-121106-963.html

By Marta Steele

Under one roof, a galaxy of Progressive heroes assembled at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, Monday, November 5, including Harvey Wasserman, famed environmental and election integrity activist; Clint Curtis, the lionized early whistleblower who outed illegal manipulation of e-voting systems in Florida in 2000; and Jill Stein, presidential nominee of the Green Party.

Also sharing the podium were EI experts Sara Mansky, of No More Stolen Elections and Laurie Grace, director of the Institute for Electoral and Democratic Integrity.

Attorney, activist, and author Bob Fitrakis participated via a cellphone placed next to a microphone--he had to remain in Columbus to push forward an injunction against the secretary of state of Ohio, Jon Husted, at the U.S. district court in southern Ohio. #2:12CV1015, a temporary restraining order, was filed today by Fitrakis to be tried as an emergency hearing. Judge Greg Frost has already been assigned to the case. The crucial and extremely time-sensitive brief requires SoS Husted to remove the untested and uncertified "experimental" software put in place by Ohio's BOE in twenty-four of the Buckeye State's eighty-eight counties, including the cities of Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati.

unless this is a new filing since then. Perhaps something was missing and now it is complete and the had to refile?

After all, they've got to do something to win. They sure don't have the hearts and minds of the electorate!

Problem is...Americans are no longer buying what the republican snake oil salesmen are selling.
