Down in Florida, the League of Women Voters has instituted a nifty little suit regarding the machinations behind Florida’s recent redistricting. Much of the decisions were made in secret, and the League wants the records made public because, well, they concerned the people’s business.
Scott Maxwell reports that the trial is not going so well for the pols. A nugget:

But now we have gobs of witnesses, evidence and testimony to prove it.
