Election Nullification Officially Rejected!
Appeal to be Filed By Plaintiffs in CA-50 Election Contest!
Plaintiffs Seek to Prevent National Use of the Constitution as a Weapon!

Guest blogged by Emily Levy

The BRAD BLOG has learned that the plaintiffs in CA-50 election contest will be appealing the dismissal of the case in the 4th District. Briefs are now being prepared and funds being collected for what may be a rather expensive appeal. Notice of appeal may be filed as soon as today.

Donations to the appeal can be made via Velvet Revolution.

The appeal is a rejection of Judge Yuri Hofmann’s August 29 ruling which echoed GOP claims that the U.S. House of Representatives, not the state courts or voters, have the power to determine the outcome of elections of members of Congress. In California’s 50th Congressional district in San Diego County, Republican candidate Brian Bilbray was announced to be the winner of the June 6 special election, flown to Washington and sworn in before all the votes were counted or the election certified.
