The Supreme Court has sent the creatures discussed in Beth’s December 7, 2021 blog back into obscurity. In an Order dated December 8, 2021, that Court granted a temporary injunction and stayed the candidate-filing period for the 2022 elections for all offices.

Things are happening fast. Keep your eye on this blog for updates.
