Arizona Libertarian Party v Arizona State University and Commission on Presidential Debates
|
Below is the detailed report of the proceedings in the court case, Arizona Libertarian Party v Arizona State University and Commission on Presidential Debates, that was decided by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge F. Pendleton Gaines III today. The long and the short is that while the judge decided the case on procedural grounds in terms of not granting the injunction, he acknowleged that the case has suffcient merit to proceed to the damages phase. Note that the damages would accrue to the Arizona taxpayers, not to the Arizona Libertarian Party.
Tucson attorney and Libertarian activist David Euchner, who argued the case for the AZLP, received help from Libertarian activists and attorneys from all over the country in the preparation for the case, including Marc Stevens, David Marhoffer, Manny Klausner, Mark Rutherford, Ed Kahn, John Wilde, Liz Andreasen, Craig Stritar and Michael Kielsky to name only a few. Many more across the country contributed time in serving process, researching case law, and much more. There is much more to be said, but the case is not yet over, so more will have to wait until later.
The AZLP will pursue the case for the $2.5M that ASU has committed to the event and hopes to see those funds returned to the taxpayers rather than be a state funded contribution to two already well funded private campaigns. Though our opposition to taxes is well known, if they are to be collected they should go to the single working mothers, underfunded law enforcement agencies and the schools of Arizona, not to private political campaigns which already have their own fundraising machines.

"Clean Elections" enforcers target LP candidates
|
"A trio of defeated Phoenix-area legislative candidates spent thousands of dollars on alcohol, food, rental cars and entertainment expenses at trendy Scottsdale nightspots -- and used Clean Elections money to do it. The three District 17 Libertarian candidates -- Yuri Downing, 32; Trevor Clevenger, 32; and Paul DeDonati, 30, who ran as a team -- were ordered by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission to repay $104,237 in state campaign cash. The Libertarian candidates are appealing the commission ruling ... Downing said the trio will likely file a lawsuit against the commission, which he charges is trying to limit political speech."

Voting machine fails inspection
|
"University researchers delivered a serious blow to the current crop of electronic voting systems in an analysis of one such system's source code in which they concluded that a voter could cast unlimited ballots without detection. Using an earlier version of the source code that powers machines manufactured by Diebold Election Systems, the security experts -- three from Johns Hopkins University and a colleague from Rice University -- performed an audit and found numerous security holes."
