Snip from PDF:
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray that this Court:
(A) Declare that Defendants have engaged in conduct violating Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act;
Case 1:20-cv-03388 Document 1 Filed 11/20/20
(B) Enjoin Defendants, and anyone acting on behalf of Defendants or in concert with them, from continuing to exert pressure on state or local officials in Michigan, or in any other state, to disenfranchise Plaintiffs or other Black voters by not certifying the results of the November 2020 election, or by appointing an unlawful slate of electors that disenfranchises Plaintiffs or other Black voters or from taking other action in violation of Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act; and
(C) Grant such other relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
In other words, they want the court to tell tRump and his band of thieves to STFU.
KY..............
"
b) No person, whether acting under color of law or otherwise, shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote, or intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for urging or aiding any person to vote or attempt to vote, or intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for exercising any powers or duties under section 3(a), 6, 8, 9, 10, or 12(e). "
sounds like a decent case to me.
said attempts have to be a physical action at a polling location. Can possibly be verbal or visual intimidation by phone, mail, internet or even a sign or billboard.
Very broad, as it should be.........
Thanks for the post.
Drown him in lawsuits!
