    Texas Appeals Court Confirms New Election Required After Illegal
    Votes Found <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=72591>

Press release 
<http://us4.campaign-archive2.com/?u=457f6886c4b43749a1e06cd15&id=4cad69d7c9>:

    Late last week, Najvar Law Firm scored a victory in the Thirteenth
    Court of Appeals that sets a landmark precedent in the fight against
    illegal voting in the Texas Rio Grande Valley.

    After a four-day trial in March 2014, a Hidalgo County trial court
    found that NLF had proven by clear and convincing evidence that 30
    illegal votes had been cast in a race for Weslaco City Commission,
    ordering a new election. The illegal votes–more than twice the
    purported margin of victory in the November 2013 election–were
    comprised of votes cast by individuals falsely claiming to live at
    relatives’ homes in the city district and ballots by mail that were
    returned in violation of the Election Code.

    Our opponent appealed the ruling, but theCourt of Appeals’ decision
    <http://lexpolitico.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/20150514-Opinion-13th-COA-Rivea-v-Lopez.pdf>affirmed the
    order for a new election.

LAT 
<http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-na-hillary-clinton-supreme-court-20150518-story.html>:

    Hllary Rodham Clinton was clear Monday during a campaign stop about
    one quality she would expect from her nominees to the U.S. Supreme
    Court if she were to become president – an overhaul of the rapidly
    evolving campaign finance system that is giving extremely wealthy
    donors ever more say in presidential contests.

    Her position was remarkable for a candidate positioned to shatter
    fundraising records and push the boundaries of campaign finance law
    further than any Democrat who has ever run for the White House.

    20-minute talk that garnered her a $315,000 payday from the company.

    Less than two months later, Clinton was feted at the San Francisco
    Bay-area home of eBay chief executive John Donahoe and his wife,
    Eileen, for one of the first fundraisers supporting Clinton’s newly
    announced presidential campaign.
