On October 28, the Eleventh Circuit refused to rehear Jacobson v Lee, 19-14552. This is the Democratic Party’s Florida lawsuit on ballot order. The Democratic Party had lost in the Eleventh Circuit earlier. The Eleventh Circuit said that ballot order cases cannot be heard in federal court because the issue is a “political question” and it is impossible for courts to order objective relief. That opinion is sharply at variance with 50 years of jurisprudence in other federal courts. It is possible the Democratic Party will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.
The Florida law says the party that won the last gubernatorial election will enjoy the top line.
The Eleventh Circuit refusal to rehear the case also caused the Georgia Democratic Party case to be dismissed. That case is S.P.S. ex rel Short v Raffensperger, in the northern district.
The Democratic Party’s West Virginia ballot order lawsuit is pending in the Fourth Circuit. Nelson v Warner, 20-1860. The party’s Arizona lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed in July 2020.
NOOOO such thing as a ***political question*** [invented by SCOTUS morons — see 1962 Baker v Carr – prelim to 1964 gerrymander cases] —-
each govt act/omission does/does not violate the LAW.

half A to Z

much too difficult for MORON hack PARTISAN judges.
The US-style plurality elections really don’t help resolve very simple issues.
The new Ogle Method for decision-making is the best way to bring everything to the table, prioritize and approve items by simple majority vote 50% plus one vote.
Voting going on now:

The United Coalition USA has been bringing pure proportional representation to the internet since 1992. Read about how the Google search engine blocked and deleted the correct math.
The dictatorship psychology of one-party voting systems worldwide it accepted while the insiders of the Libertarian Party then blocked the competition of ideas and new people.
By using that same one-party voting system that no one in America wants except party bosses, those same bosses are protecting their seats in the one-party voting system, and Robert’s Rules of Order is the perfect proceedure for snuffing out change.

This will be a great opportunity for the solidly GOP supreme court to rule that the case is moot because only GOP will be allowed on the ballot so the order is GOP AND THAT’S IT. Simple.
