I've seen the matter and notified the Justices.  We will make a decision as quickly as possible.

What is your basis for standing to bring this action?

Was that not answered in his first sentence?

Fair enough, even if the court is apparently unaware of the meaning of the word 'notify" (not that that would make any difference). Pretty clear that legislation needs to be changed then.

Huh?  Just explaining the thought process here: 

The legislation states that seven days advance public notice would be given.  If, at the seventh day before the election (whose specific six-hour period when it will begin is known), no public notice was given, you would be entirely within your rights to sue. 

However, once the election begins, the fact that the Constitution requires the election to begin between that six-hour period trumps the wrong that occurred through the no seven-day advance public notice.

What of an incorrect ballot? The Court does not seem to address this question.

It didn't address that question because I didn't sue over that.

Ah, noted. I figured that was the reason, but every now and then the Court answers a question not asked.
