Excerpt:
Another Florida Ballot Challenge Coming to Tallahassee
Via Sam Sewell
"Judge Stanley Mills ruled today, July 10, 2012, in the Pasco County Florida ballot challenge case against Barack Obama, to transfer the case to Leon County (Tallahassee). Jerry Collette, the plaintiff, had argued that his case should proceed in Pasco County, under the rule that venue is proper in the county where he suffered his damages.
Collette said, "Apparently, the judge did not want this hot potato. Passing my case off to Tallahassee got it off his plate. I am glad that he did not toss it out completely, which he certainly could have done. I am still hoping that a judge, somewhere, will allow a case like this to proceed on the merits and order the original birth documents produced."
Sam Sewell, Director of Florida Ballot Challenge, said, "We still need more plaintiffs to file similar cases. Some judge, somewhere, is waiting for somebody to show up with one of these ballot challenge cases. The more cases people file, the more likely we are to find that one courageous judge that we have been seeking."
Collette stated he would not appeal this ruling now, but would proceed in Tallahassee. It could take several weeks for Collette's case to show up in and for the pending motions to get calendared for hearings. We will post updates, including the new case number and judge's name, as we know them."
