Yes I was but they had already found a fine lawyer.  Ditto,  Rick.  Jim Bopp

I think  this borderlines on an ad hominem attack. 
In any case, if you think that  Brad Smith would decide a legal question 
before him through crass partisan  considerations, you don't know him very 
well. I have tangled with Brad for a  long time, and I have never known him to 
be anything but intellectually honest  and forthright, even when his 
decisions and opinions went against the  interests of his party.

Nice to see that the Ohio elections division hired a neutral party like  
Brad Smith to rule on the question of whether Ohio Republicans were trying  to 
keep third parties off of the ballot.  Was Jim Bopp not  available?

_CBC News_ 
(http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/author-of-elections-report-cited-by-poilievre-contradicts-minister-on-voter-fraud-1.2563659) : 
The author of a report cited repeatedly to justify cracking  down on 
potential voter fraud says the Harper government is  misrepresenting his report 
and ignoring his  recommendations.

Indeed, Harry Neufeld says there’s not a shred of evidence that  there have 
been more than “a handful” of cases of deliberate voter  fraud in either 
federal or provincial elections. 
“I never said there was voter fraud,” Neufeld said in an interview  with 
The Canadian Press. 
“Nor did the Supreme Court, who looked at this extremely  carefully.”
Looks like the voting wars are contagious, even crossing  borders.
