STATING PLAINTIFFS HAVE NO STANDING AS WE WILL NOT RUN FOR OFFICE AGAIN. WHO ARE THEY TO SAY WE WILL NOT RUN FOR OFFICE AGAIN?

Objection to Magistrate Judge's Order to Strike

On March 29, 2023, we submitted a Judicial Notice. Then on April 5, 2023, the magistrate judge moved to strike the Judicial Notice. On April 11, 2023, we submitted our objection to the strike. There must be consent of all parties to proceed before a US magistrate judge in this case. She can only make recommendations without full consent.

The Magistrate Judge Submitted a Recommendation
and Findings On June 30, 2023 

Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman concludes, “The Defendants argue that the Plaintiffs’ complaint should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction,” because they cannot satisfy the injury in fact and redressability requirements. (Def.’ Mot. At 9.) The Court disagrees. The Court concludes that the Plaintiffs’ alleged discrimination and equal protection claims are sufficiently particularized and concrete to plead an injury in fact. Defendants separately argue that Plaintiffs’ claims for damages and injunctive relief do not satisfy the redressability requirement. (Defs.’ Mot. At 11-16.) The Court disagrees. Plaintiffs’ claims are based on the Defendants’ alleged discrimination, denial of equal protection, and conspiracy to violate their rights, and in part on Wong’s status as a minority candidate. Defendants’ mootness arguments fail adequately to address all of Plaintiffs’ allegations, including those pertaining to alleged discrimination of a minority candidate. In summary, Defendants have not carried their heavy burden of demonstrating that Plaintiffs’ claims for declaratory and injunctive relief are moot, and therefore the Court finds that those claims satisfy the redressability requirement. For these reasons, the Court concludes that Plaintiffs satisfy the redressability requirement, and Plaintiffs have Article III standing to bring their claims in federal court.”

Court hearing

On November 27, 2023, The Supreme Court sent our case back to the Appellate Court. We submitted a notice of appeal to the 9th Circuit. The Appellate put together a 3 judge panel and quickly dismissed our case on January 18, 2024. We then filed a Motion for Reconsideration on January 29, 2024.

PRR/FOIA 
A PRR/FOIA was submitted to the Oregon Secretary of State and Clackamas County for the 2022 Primary Election records on February 27, 2024. The Oregon SOS directed to Clackamas County for the records. Clackamas County gave a cost estimate of $10,495 on March 11, 2024. A request for a breakdown and reasons for why it cost $81.49 per hour with 128.8 hours of work was required for copying information onto a storage device. Clackamas County's response was we either pay the fee or file an appeal to the County District Attorney. Information was received about another cost estimate given on August 15, 2023 for $3000. An appeal and complaint was filed to the County DA on April 11, 2024 citing discriminatory practices and violations under ORS 646.040 antitrust laws. The DA revealed the cost of $10,495 was for scanning 63,000 ballots. This begs to question why does the county need to scan the ballots again?

BACK TO THE SUPREME COURT

AFTER A MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION WAS DENIED, A PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI WAS SUBMITTED TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES ON AUGUST 26, 2024. OVER TWO YEARS IN COURT SYSTEMS.
