All briefs have now been filed in Ni v Slocum, pending in the California State Court of Appeals in San Francisco, case no. A128721. This is the case over whether electronic signatures are valid on initiative petitions. Amici curiae briefs on behalf of the proponent have been filed by the Asian American Action Fund, Citizens in Charge, the Humane Society of the United States, the National Taxpayers Union, the Electronic Signature and Records Association, Antonio Gonzalez, and Joe Trippi. Trippi is a well-known Democratic Party campaign consultant. Antonio Gonzalez is an attorney. No hearing date has been set yet.
As usual — it took NEW laws to have electronic stuff — in business, in court filings, etc. — i.e. about 100 percent security.
DIRECT Democracy coming soon ??? — to put the party hack gerrymander MONSTERS permanently OUT of Business ???
