DEMOCRATIC PLAINTIFFS SEEK REHEARING IN ASSOCIATED REPUBLICANS CASE
Claim Supremes relied on misrepresentations from ART attorneys.
Writing for the Democratic plaintiffs, attorney Susan Hays said, "By accepting ART’s misrepresentations, this Court has placed the entire 2004 electoral process in question, casting a shadow on the integrity of the electoral process by opening the ballot box to the corrosive effect of corporate cash. Indeed, if ever there is a time necessitating injunctive relief at the trial court level, preserving the electoral system from corruption is such a time. The Court’s ruling today — by potentially permitting illegal conduct in the election — risks doing damage to the most fundamental component of democracy — clean elections."
The plaintiffs claimed that the Supreme Court erred based on two misrepresentations by Associated Republicans of Texas. They then questioned the need for "extraordinary relief."
