Introduction
1. This is a civil action for declaratory and injunctive relief concerning violations of Voters’
voting and equal-protection rights by election officials’ inclusion of illegal Presidential Elector
results in certain counties, which inclusion unlawfully dilutes Voters’ lawful votes and requires
invalidation of those presidential-election results in counties with evidence that sufficient illegal
ballots were included in the results to change or place in doubt the results of the November 3,
2020 presidential election in this state.
2. Voters seek a remedy excluding presidential-election results from such counties in the
certification activities for Presidential Electors described in 3 U.S.C. § 6:
It shall be the duty of the executive of each State, as soon as practicable after the conclusion
of the appointment of the electors in such State by the final ascertainment, under and in
pursuance of the laws of such State providing for such ascertainment, to communicate by
registered mail under the seal of the State to the Archivist of the United States a certificate
of such ascertainment of the electors appointed, setting forth the names of such electors and
the canvass or other ascertainment under the laws of such State of the number of votes
given or cast for each person for whose appointment any and all votes have been given or
cast; and it shall also thereupon be the duty of the executive of each State to deliver to the
electors of such State, on or before the day on which they are required by section 7 of this
title to meet, six duplicate-originals of the same certificate under the seal of the State; and
if there shall have been any final determination in a State in the manner provided for by law
of a controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such
State, it shall be the duty of the executive of such State, as soon as practicable after such
determination, to communicate under the seal of the State to the Archivist of the United
States a certificate of such determination in form and manner as the same shall have been
made; and the certificate or certificates so received by the Archivist of the United States
shall be preserved by him for one year and shall be a part of the public records of his office
and shall be open to public inspection; and the Archivist of the United States at the first
meeting of Congress thereafter shall transmit to the two Houses of Congress copies in full
of each and every such certificate so received at the National Archives and Records Administration.
