On October 20, the Michigan Supreme Court issued a two-page order in Scott v Michigan Director of Elections, 143878. The order reinstates the November 8, 2011 recall election of state representative Paul Scott. On October 6, the State Court of Appeals had stopped the recall, on the grounds that the statement on the recall petition, explaining why Scott should be recalled, was not accurate. See this story. For the earlier BAN blog post about this case, see here. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
The State Supreme Court order does not address the merits of the case, but reverses the Court of Appeals because of procedure. The State Supreme Court is quite critical of the State Court of Appeals.
How many Mich military folks in the Scott district and fighting the BARBARIANS in Asia and elsewhere will NOT get their ballots from the regime and back to the regime in time ???
— i.e. one more direct SUBVERSION of Democracy in Michigan.
The subversion of the recall language section in the Mich Const is an EVIL tale of its own.
The MI SCT blast at the MI COA matches any in world history — esp. in an election law case.
Gee will lower courts pay MAJOR attention to election law cases in the future — to avoid more blasts ???
