https://mb.ntd.com/live-maricopa-county-audit-hearing_602290.html They judge put in a stipulation that if a 1 million bond to cover costs of delay. If no bond no delay.
Update: Judge just said he will be reviewing the policy docs Sunday so on Monday he can give a decision. Judge is asking for the policy audit documents tomorrow.
They are meeting again on Monday at noon but Judge also said something about 8am.
:(
That is not the same judge...
There is no such thing as "guilty by association". And when that association is this loosely connected, entertaining the idea is beyond ludicrous.
You asked why I thought it was a red flag. I showed you why from another judge. You are pretty defensive for the guy. He could be a good judge, but he might not be.
I am not in any way defending this judge. I simply did not consider your assessment or evidence to be credible reasons to think ill of him.
If there is reason to be wary, then I am wary. If there is no justification for ill feelings however, I will not latch on to straws to create them.
Cool. I never said he was guilty of anything.
On an apparently unrelated note, If you were the judge how would you have responded to this delay filing?
I think the remedy he provided was reasonable (only red pens, sanctity of the vote, etc.). I think those things are already part of the audit (excepting maybe only red pens?).
I think the suspension might have been excessive, but I can't say for certain, since it did have a $1M price tag and it may have been reasonable given that it is not an "official" audit but a remedy for another lawsuit. The only reason it was suspended at all was because of the timing of things (or the supposed timing of things).
Was I happy it was going to be suspended? Obviously not. However, it could have been worse, and it felt more pro audit than anti audit. That is not a quantitative assessment, but it is what I thought when I watched it happen.
