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.
:(
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.
Thank you. That sounds like a safely fair judgement by you.
I probably would have denied it and included in my judgment that it was ANOTHER delaying tactic. They have tried a few that would have had most conservatives in jail long ago.
Now, remember how corrupt this election has already shown itself to be.
