Another Florida Ballot Challenge Coming to
Tallahassee
Judge Stanley Mills ruled today, July 10, 2012, in the Pasco County Florida ballot challenge case against Barack Obama, to transfer the case to Leon County (Tallahassee). Jerry Collette, the plaintiff, had argued that his case should proceed in Pasco County, under the rule that venue is proper in the county where he suffered his damages.
Collette said, “Apparently, the judge did not want this hot potato. Passing my case off to Tallahassee got it off his plate. I am glad that he did not toss it out completely, which he certainly could have done. I am still hoping that a judge, somewhere, will allow a case like this to proceed on the merits and order the original birth documents produced.”
Sam Sewell, Director of Florida Ballot Challenge, said, “We still need more plaintiffs to file similar cases. Some judge, somewhere, is waiting for somebody to show up with one of these ballot challenge cases. The more cases people file, the more likely we are to find that one courageous judge that we have been seeking.”
Collette stated he would not appeal this ruling now, but would proceed in Tallahassee. It could take several weeks for Collette’s case to show up in Tallahassee and for the pending motions to get calendared for hearings. We will post updates, including the new case number and judge’s name, as we know them.

Persistence Prevails
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
