This effectively ends Coleman’s chances. The court’s reluctance to honor his extravagant demands might have something to do with this.
As an example, Hamilton showed two photocopies of a rejected absentee ballot envelope, one of which he said was the unaltered original, and the other taken from Coleman’s legal filings in his attempts to get more of the rejected ballots opened. The Coleman copy was missing the section in which a local election official explained why it was rejected.
“We would not be able to stipulate to the authenticity of a document where the key portion has been cut out,” Hamilton complained.
Coleman attorney James Langdon expressed his absolute surprise. “What he has pointed out is news to me,” said Langdon. “There has been no effort on our part to be anything other than absolutely truthful.”
Time to find the Overzealous Staffer and place blame.
