Case Dismissed
Judge Dismisses Election Lawsuit
The election court battle is over. Thursday morning a Chancery Court judge threw out a lawsuit alleging fraud and other wrongdoing in the August 5th Election. The trial began Wednesday with the plaintiffs¿ part of the case. But by Thursday morning it was over with the judge ready to rule.

The lawsuit was filed by democratic candidates against the Shelby County Election Commission, saying election results were skewed by widespread irregularities. They claimed the technical errors of loading data from the May election lead to thousands of voters being turned away in August.
“The plaintiffs were unable to produce in court, did not produce in court a single voter who said they had been turned away at the polls,” Giannini said.
Just because the Democrats are so used to cheating to win elections, it doesn’t mean EVERYONE does it! Irregularities are common in Shelby County, mostly due to fraud. From what I’ve read about this particular election, the problem was solved rather quickly and the voting continued. In the end, Republicans won the day in county races.
While the Election Commission works on its post-election assessment, Turner said they’ll likely be positioning themselves for an appeal and some sort of oversight for the commission.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Democrats would actually face the fact that people are totally fed up with their shenanigans? Novel concept – lose graciously. The world isn’t going to end just because the Dems aren’t in control. As a matter of fact, there may be some major improvements in the county without them completely in charge. Just a thought.
