9/2/15 Update on Beth Clarkson's Kansas voting records lawsuit

From her newsletter:

Showing the votes is too much trouble

It's unnecessarily burdensome to the defendent

That's from Paragraph 17 in Lehman's response is asking the judge to refuse my request to gain access to R.T.A.L. voting records. There's more, but that seems the closest to a legitimate reason to me in her 8 page response. An audit is ALWAYS a great deal of trouble and work. I can understand that. It's just not a sufficient reason IMO and I hope a judge will feel similarly.

Legal aid is forthcoming.

A bit of good news. I've talked with two different lawyers this week willing to assist me. Both of them have an attitude that this case can and should be won. I'm to expect a notice of a discovery hearing sometime in the next week, scheduled for sometime in the next month. I'm grateful that I won't have to go to it alone.

No newsletters for the next three weeks.

I don't expect anything further to happen until the discovery hearing. In addition, I have professional and personal priorities that I have to deal with over the course of the next three weeks. I will have only occasional access to email during that time, so please forgive my tardiness in responses to email.

Thanks for all the support.

Beth
