To Lincoln Associate Justice of the Circuit Court Bacon King;

I am filing a lawsuit against the region of Lincoln for failing to conduct the special election for a seat in the General Court with the terms proscribed by the Lincoln Constitution.

Quote from: Article I, Section 6 of the Lincoln Constitution
Whenever a vacancy should occur in the composition of the General Court, the governor shall appoint a replacement. Should the vacancy have occurred fewer than 336 hours before the next general election, the deputy thus nominated shall serve the remainder of the existing term; otherwise, they shall serve only until a new deputy may be elected. If required, A special election for the General Court shall begin on the Friday following the creation of the vacancy; but if the vacancy shall occur on a Wednesday or Thursday, the special election shall begin on the second Friday following the creation of the vacancy.
Quote from: Article IV, Section 3 of the Lincoln Constitution
All elections and referendums of this region shall be administered by the governor, or a person of their choosing. Whenever the governor and their designee if applicable should be unable to perform this duty, the speaker of the General Court, or in their absence the most senior deputy, shall administer the election.

Whereas, the Governor or a person of his choosing hasn't made a thread for the election, and as thus, I request that the Court enjoin KaiserDave or a person of his choosing to hold a special election beginning on 12:00:00 am Eastern Time on Friday, March 18; with the election concluding 72 hours later as specified in Lincoln's Constitution.

Time is of the essence here, so let us dispense with the formalities

Could the petitioner please state the following, for the record:

1. when the vacancy occurred,

2. whether the governor appointed a replacement,

3. whether a general election is scheduled to occur in the next 14 days (and if so, when),

4. when the missed special election legally should have occurred: this current weekend, or some time before?

1. The vacancy occurred when Utah Neolib failed to swear into the Lincoln General Court and her office was forfeited on February 26, 72 hours after the Court was adjourned on February 23.

2. Governor KaiserDave didn't appoint a replacement.

3. The next general election is scheduled to occur between Friday, April 22 and Monday, April 25th.

4. The missed special election should have occurred between March 4 and March 7.

I will post a response to Sestak in a few hours or tomorrow after the houseparty I'm in is over.
