A Florida appellate court yesterday issued this brief opinion denying a petition for certiorari filed by Christine Jennings. Her petition sought review of a trial court order denying discovery, including access to source code of the ES&S electronic voting machines used during the November 2006 election for Florida’s 13th Congressional District, which Jennings lost to Vern Buchanan by 369 votes. The three-judge panel found that Jennings failed to meet the “extraordinary burden” required on such a petition. A House task force and the GAO are still examing the matter.
