Here is a lawsuit by an amazing, independent reporter named Lynne Landes, who has taken it upon herself to take voting rights to the Supreme Court. No one is paying attention to this lawsuit. No media is covering it. I have contacted DemocracyNow! several times and have not heard back from them. The court date is Feb. 24!!! This has to get out there ASAP!!!

Questions the Supreme Court in her lawsuit:
Does the right to vote and to have votes counted properly apply to all citizens?
Does the use of voting machines and absentee ballots in elections for public office violate appellant’s right to vote and to have votes counted properly?
Does appellant have the right to a physical (i.e., paper) ballot?
Is voting by machine and absentee an inherently nontransparent process that unlawfully denies meaningful oversight by appellant as a journalist?
Must appellant prove fraud or discrimination in order to gain standing?
Does appellant’s right to vote and have votes counted properly supersede the privacy and convenience considerations of election officials, absentee voters, and disabled voters?
Did the Third Circuit Court of Appeals abuse their discretion by taxing defendants’ costs against plaintiff and despite the fact that the District Court had not done so?
