A Closer Look At Brannon’s Request

I gave you Huckleberry Pickers a lot to process Monday when I posted City Council wannabe Jim Brannon’s request for 48 different kinds of written, handwritten, and online documents from city and county elections officials in his never-ending quest to overturn his loss to incumbent Mike Kennedy. So I thought I’d break down the significant parts. You can read the nature of Brannon’s request, filed by his attorney Starr Kelso, here . You can read the conclusion to county Civil Deputy John Cafferty here .

Question: Cafferty mentions that the elections officials would conservatively need 6 months to provide the documents requested by Brannon, at a cost of $30,000. He mentions that the judge could raise the $500 bond paid by the plaintiffs to cover the cost. Do you think the judge should do so, if he orders the defendants to provide the documentation?
