CA-GOV: California sheriff used 'non-existent' quotes in legal defense of ballot seizures

[RandySF]

In the filing, Bianco’s attorney argued that the voters didn’t have standing to file suit, citing a ruling in the case Common Cause v. Board of Supervisors that standing requires “a grievance shared in substantially equal measure by all or a large class of citizens.”

But that quotation “appears nowhere in the opinion,” the plaintiffs’ attorneys noted. And they argued it was part of a “concerning pattern” throughout Bianco’s brief.

“Several cases cited in the brief reference real cases but point to non-existent quotes and made-up holdings. Several citations are to cases that do not stand for the proposition Respondent represents,” they wrote.

In fact, the Common Cause ruling cited in Bianco’s brief actually demonstrates that the voters do have standing, they noted.
