Georgia: Stop the destruction of evidence!

 After receiving a favorable ruling (temporary restraining order) on Sunday November 29th from Judge Timothy Batten barring the State of Georgia from wiping or resetting any voting machines in the state of Georgia (TRO here)  renowned attorney Lin Wood just revealed a second temporary restraining order ALSO dated November 29th prevents the impound of voting machine equipment to prevent the wiping of data has been denied.

Can you keep up with all of this? 

In this second order dated November 29, Judge Batten wrote Lin Woods' request to impound fails because the voting equipment  sought for impound is in the possession of county election officials and county election officials are not the named defendants in the suit.

However Judge Battens order requires the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp et al produce a copy of the contract between the State and Dominion Voting Systems "promptly".

Keep in mind that in a letter dated five days earlier (November 24th)  a law firm representing Lin Wood wrote the  Fulton County, Georgia Board of Registration reminding them they are not to repair, alter, maintain or destroy anything on this thirty-six point list ( see spoliation letter).

Item 33 on the thirty-six point list requires the Fulton County Board of registration and Elections produce: 

Any and all communications with any third-party that participated in the election process, including but not limited to:

• the Department of Justice,
• Federal Bureau of Investigation,
• Central Intelligence Agency, 
• Republican National Committee, 
• Democratic National Committee, 
• The Clinton Foundation, any foreign corporations, 
• and/or any foreign governments

An IN-PERSON hearing will be held Friday December 4.
