Members of the legal profession always tell the rest of us that “ignorance of the law is no defense”. Maybe Mr. Childers should have sought legal advice. But wait, he is a lawyer

Why was his application approved, before the deadline, by 2 Supervisor of Elections Officials, then told him, after the deadline, that his application was deficient?
DIRTY POLITICS.

So Childers thinks he is above the law? Or has shown his incompetence?

Just a political stunt on their part.

So happy and proud that a local judge was willing to take this on rather than start the dominos of recusal.

I was amazed that she was able to pull together such a profound and technically sound verbal ruling in advance of her written order, in the half hour or so she took.

Everyone will be able to see exactly what she said when the transcript comes out, and it should be required reading in Escambia classrooms.

But just taking one point from my notes (which are as close to verbatim as I could muster), her following statement summarizes both the legal truth and common sense at the same time:

What Plaintiff was asking the Court to do was to override the Supervisor of Elections against state statute “because he would have complied if only he had been told a second time he needed to comply.”

And there you have it.

The jobs not done til the paperwork is finished.
Good. If deadlines aren’t met, it puts the printing of ballots behind. No special privileges should be forced by lawyer friends.
Good call by the judge.

Bender simply checked a box for his retirement at the time.Clerk could have got an AG opinion instead of blowing things up with that issue.

If you say you’re gonna email the form, email the form, not cry victim and cast false blame.
