Several citizen candidates requested to examine the ballots of the last election as provided for by law. After several court appearances and several months, they finally got Judge Adam Christian to order the Board of Elections to turn over the ballots by December 20, 2013. They did not comply. Last week Judge Adam Christian, who is also the current gubernatorial aspirant and delegate's brother, refused to find them in contempt for violating his order.
This smacks of banana republic politics. We will never safe here if the very justice system that is supposed to protect us is corrupt, incompetent, or both. The very fundamental tale of democracy is the right to a free. Open, and fair election process. Otherwise, we might as well live in Zimbabwe. And the criminals know that.
I say this without fear of contradiction.

I assume this was a written ruling which followed Judge Christian's inability to render a verdict in court on January 14th when he was too sick to continue. Maybe you can provide a link which gives the reason for his decision. More useful and informative than gum-flapping.

Yes, a written ruling a month after his "cough". He refused to find them in contempt for violating his orders. If you have knowledge to the contrary regarding his ruling, please share it.
Old Tart, why not simply ask what the ruling was instead of asking if it is "gum flapping"? You wouldn't be trying to prejudice the readers, now would you? Or provide a distraction?
It would be nice if you would comment on whether you think the sunshine law which allows us to examine the instruments of the vote which is the cornerstone if democracy should be made robust by judicial prudence. Or do you think lawlessness and injustice regarding the sanctity of the vote should be mocked.

Not at all, just asking for a link to the ruling so it can be read and the reason for it known.
