15. Yet if you look at actual court verdicts, we beat them the vast majority of the time.

In the case of court cases challenging election results, for example, we beat them about 99% of the time.

The problem is, I think, that some things that should end up in court haven't ended up in court... yet, & that's discouraging.

Being discouraged, however, is not a reason to quit. It's a reason to fight harder.
