Comments
Repackaged "Sharpie lawsuit". Plaintiffs allege local poll workers induced voters to override alerts from the tabulation machine when a vote was flagged as unreadable, causing affected votes on those ballots to be disqualified. The case was dropped on November 13th
Judges Comments
Original "Sharpie lawsuit". Dismissed after plaintiffs withdrew the case.
