To Be Definitive Online Clearinghouse for Election-Related Litigation "The 2000 election laid the groundwork for this years presidential
contest to be the most litigious in our nations history," said
Jeffrey Mazzella, the Centers Executive Director. "When one considers
the fact that its still October and at least 35 lawsuits, challenging
everything from ballot design to voter-registration fraud, have already
been filed in 17 different states, to say that this election may be decided
by the lawyers may be the understatement of the year. "With both major political parties and independent groups training
and deploying thousands of lawyers anxious to pull the litigation trigger
in precincts across the country, Litigation Watch 2004 will enable the American
people and the media to easily navigate what is sure to be an overwhelming
legal maze that could once again determine the outcome of the presidential
election," said Mazzella. In addition to providing access to breaking news stories and analysis on
the latest election-related legal activities across the country, Litigation
Watch 2004 will also provide a status report on litigation in each relevant
state. This section of the online clearinghous, when possible, will provide
links to all legal briefs and opinions as soon as theyre available.
"We encourage all interested Americans and members of the media to
visit the Litigation Watch 2004 website frequently for the latest news,
legal briefs and analysis on the cases and controversies that are sure to
command Americas attention in the days, and possibly weeks, after
November 2. Litigation Watch 2004 will be updated throughout each day as
news and developments warrant," Mazzella concluded. The Center for Individual Freedom (www.cfif.org)
