Effect Of Arnebeck Suit To Contest Election [View All]

[righteous1]

I started this thread to clear up misconceptions concerning the Arnebeck suit and it's impact.

The Ohio Supreme Court received the contest of election suit file by Cliff Arnebeck a few hours before the Ohio slate of electors voted, but failed to act on it. Had they acted, they could have ordered a revote or overturned the outcome and declared JK the winner.

By refusing to grant relief prior to the electoral vote the court allowed the process to continue to a point where the jurisdiction of the courts is no longer viable. In other words at this point in the process, the courts have no authority to intercede or effect anything to do with the 2004 election results, period. Once the electors have cast their choice, the sanctity of those votes in "inviolate".
