Writ of Certiorari for SCOTUS

[TomC]

"vi) When the polls close, the Chief Judicial Officer of the Northeast Region shall be given twenty-four hours to count the votes and declare a winner. The candidate with the most votes for the office of Governor shall be made Governor and the candidate with the most votes for the office of Lieutenant Governor shall by made Lieutenant Governor. The newly elected Governor and Lieutenant Governor are to be officially sworn in on the Tuesday following the election and shall immediately assume office at that point. In the case of a tie, all tied candidates are to run in a run-off election the following week to determine a winner. "

Also, I posted this in the MAS v Bullmoose thread: (getting...)

Texasgurl and I do not believe we have jurisdiction in this case. Certainly opebo could chime in and, perhaps, change our minds. However, I have not heard from him on the matter.

So this is unofficial:

I don't see that a party has to be injured to sue, though I'm not sure what MAS wants...does he want us to demand the booth reopen? Are we expected to turn back time and have Bullmoose open the booth at the correct time? Does he want Bullmoose impeached? What does MAS expect to gain from suing? I think he has the right to sue, but without an injured party who didn't get a chance to vote, I don't see what can be done to remedy the wrong he alleges.

However, Bullmoose, the case is yours. Or if the election law I referenced in the other thread is still viable (and I don't see where it has been revoked), the Lt. Gov has jurisdiction. Either way it's a regional matter. As I said last time MAS sued when voting times were in question, if the fact that the booth administrator is also the Chief Judicial officer is a problem, that is also your problem to solve. Just because it may be a conflict of interest doesn't mean it isn't allowed. Indeed, your constitution does allow it. MAS, if you don't like it, fix it this time.
If your beef is with Bullmoose's performance, no court has an authority to remove him. Find out what that process is if you wish to pursue this.

Officially:

This is a regional case; the Supreme Court does not have jurisdiction in the matter.
